Removing elemental nukes from WHM

[Shougun]

Again, peoples main problem is they don't like how BLM plays...that's an entirely valid point...but butchering CNJ/WHM which IS working well and balanced at the moment, to achieve more dynamic Black Mage play is simply not going to happen...nor should it.

As to the 'BLM should always be superior to WHM in DPS except for maybe undead.' There would be people who find that unfair too. They would then want WHM's 'undead-killing' spells on Black Mage because, 'hey, it's unfair that White Mage has a decent damage dealing spell Black Mage could also enjoy.'

The main problem people are having is that they want this game's battle mechanics (at least spell mechanics) to match FFXI...this is not that game. Therefore, it IS okay and balanced for BLM to not carry all the spells...please point out what endgame content in 1.0 people could'nt use BLM's effectively in. Other jobs in this game have the same issue. I don't see monks whining that they are missing some of the elemental fists....again, we don't know what will happen in ARR or once level cap is raised, but at the moment, giving BLM access to ALL the elemental spells would either make BLM overpowered OR make the spells seem highly gimp...then people would complain that blm has lack-luster spells...

I've stated earlier why the spells are divided amongst the Mage-classes/jobs the way they are. If people are unhappy with blm flexibility, that is fair...but BLM's problems have nothing to do with WHM's graces. Ask for them to fix Black Mage...there are OTHER spells/abilities/mp costs/ cooldowns/etc BLM could use that would balance the roles out.

I dont really care if WHM keeps their elementals, or loses them (though I know the lore says CNJ has them so in that manor its not a good idea to remove it from CNJ). I dont repeat it every post but if you read all my posts you would know lol


I want to see stone and aero on black mage so we can see stone and aero weak bosses - and you can say you can have stone weak bosses and leave it to WHM, but I never want to see WHM be a "main nuker". That or they can give THM all his healing abilities back, maybe they did..


Of course right now bosses are rather elemental ambivalent as you can cast thunder on everything lol.
