Removing elemental nukes from WHM

[Shougun]

WHM doesn't have DD spells. CNJ does. WHM gets them by extension. If this was the argument, I'd be okay with it:


Or better yet, make the WHM soul stone have the opposite effect of Cleric Stance, i.e. WHMs will still have stone and aero, but they'll suck.

The underlying issue, though, is that people are dissatisfied with BLM. And there are a plethora of ways SE could overcome that, without taking ANYTHING from CNJ/WHM. But the real problem is, the OP didn't call this topic "How to make BLM a more balanced DD." It's "Removing elemental nukes from WHM"

Yeah you are right in that CNJ gets the DD spells but since there is no difference between CNJ DD and WHM DD it wouldnt matter. Although your next point solves exactly that issue :P so ok I agree then lol

Why is it a problem that CNJ/WHM can out damage a BLM on 3 mobs in the game then?
a GLD/PLD could out damage a BLM if mob isn't weak vs any of BLM spells; Even more so if it's resistant to all spells.

MNK, DRG etc arn't welcome in many parties, cause everyone wanna stack BLM, so it would be about time, there was a fight where BLM is left out

Yeah currently 3 mobs but further in my post I said that would be a big problem if those mobs include EG contents (where balance matters most). BLM can be left out if SE is trying to design content where each class is left out of something (I dont that is there intention though).

But WHM shouldnt be replacing BLM as DD, WHM is a healer with nice damage - and shouldnt considered EG as a healer and epic damage (stone weak bosses).

And that was all my point was. I dont care WHM can DD just so long as they dont become best at two things while all other classes are only best at one thing (which is bad balance in relation, imo).
