Removing elemental nukes from WHM

[Shougun]

No one is suggesting that. It is the combination of all a job's abilities that define it.

Take PvP as an example, as it is the main reason for any non-DPS-focused class to have any damage capability- All classes need to be "viable" in it. CNJ/WHM needs some damage abilities to be fully viable. You can cure yourself and stay alive til you run out of MP (and pray someone else comes along to kill them for you) but that doesn't win a fight. No, you damage them when you can and heal yourself when you can- A fight will take you a little longer, but as long as you can win, that's all that matters. BLM wins the fight by nuking as hard as it can. WHM wins the fight by avoiding death while chipping away at the opponent. It's like the tortoise and the hare- Fast as you can vs slow and steady.

Oh I'm defintely not aganist the WHM being able to defend itself - soloing with no DD spells.. so sucky be easier to level a alchemist solo.

I'm saying because of the wheel and because it is divided between CNJ and THM, that CNJ can out damage THM on stone weak monsters. I've been a fully geared BLM (double melds and higher) out damaged on stone weak monsters by a healing geared white mage. Of course there are like 3 stone weak monsters in the whole game.

What I was saying is if there are bosses weak to stone, they can usurp a BLM. If you need to DD the boss just bring WHM's no point to bring a BLM because if things go to shit you can heal and raise and stoneskin forever.

So I dont want that to happen. So either no boss should ever be weak to stone, or there needs to be very interesting mechanics in place for each stone weak boss like I exampled cannons on the battlefield charged by BLM's thunder - that then deal high non elemental damage. (Kinsey example is that a bunch of side monsters the BLM needs to destroy in great swathes, weak to fire would work nicely there lol)

CNJ/WHM should never lose its DD - I just dont want it to become a main DD.
