Removing elemental nukes from WHM

[Alhanelem]

Did you play FFXIV after the jobs were implemented? ... WTF is THM?! BLM or GTFO!

Actually, often the opposite was considered true.

THM can AoE sanguine rite with CNJ's sacred prism ability

Yes- this is an example of the advantages of a class vs job- it also isn't NEW. Classes give you this increased flexibility to use more abilities of different classes than jobs allow- So just as jobs offer their own unique abilities, so too do classes with abilities set that the job can't set due to the set 2 classes the job is restricted to borrowing from.

Right...Right...I understand. Classes=Solo/Lowman and Jobs=Party/Large Group

However, that doesn't explain why a WHM is better at soloing than a CNJ. This thread has proved that fact.

It isn't about solo/lowman vs party/large group. Beyond that, the real purpose of this thread, replacing cnj/whm elemental nukes with astral/holy magic, doesn't really change anything. Flexibility can also be demanded in party situations- People would take THM over BLM often because THM could still nuke well but also have cure and raise.
