That would be me, as people on IRC knowOh wtf who's Katya Kazanova, you're in my friendlist, ran Hatali together before I went to bed before the end of the beta. I also noticed Ray Gilette and Sterling Archer names while I was lvling because of Archer, didn't know that was people from here.
You'll have to balance the skills you get as a Black mage vs the skills you exclude by not being able to pull from every class. At the moment, if it's /just/ the 5 new skills, it's a bit lame, but I'm hoping that jobs give you more than just that.so after having a first look at black mage skills, it seems that Fire I is the most potency/second. Not to mention costs less mana so you have more chance to proc that 30% for free Fire III. These all being thaum skills leads me to wondering, whats the point of black mage again?
That doesn't contradict what he said, 2 classes is obviously less than all classes. You can't get CNJ heal for example, or whatever useful thing the Arcanist will get. That's the tradeoff for those 5 more skills you get from being a BLM.I'm a little confused - if you select Black Mage as your job, I thought you could also use THM and PUG abilities. Is that not the case?
Here's what you will have available to you if you go Black Mage:I'm a little confused - if you select Black Mage as your job, I thought you could also use THM and PUG abilities. Is that not the case?
Maybe the possibility of BLM only gear at end game? (This is pure speculation by me)what i meant is to achieve the top DPS for the blackmage class, youll be using nothing but Thaum abilities. So why black mage at all?
BLM has 2 aoe nukes, why wouldn't you use them? There's a targetted aoe bind for the frost aoe, and the fire aoe I assume is the strongest in the game, so not sure why you'd end up using only THM spells, for single target maybe. You also get the resist buff thing to put on the tank and the health to mana conversion which I guess is off GCD so it should provide a decent dmg boost. It's not like there's that much to use that's not in THM anyway, so staying THM so you can cross class isn't that interesting, at least until we see what Arcanist gets.what i meant is to achieve the top DPS for the blackmage class, youll be using nothing but Thaum spells for damage.

Are there any Wiki entries or content guides available yet to show what kind of end game is available? Would be good to figure out the longevity that way and get it listed on the Junkies site for good measure.With how fast people levelled over a single beta weekend I'm really worried this game will have any longevity.
I believe available at launch raid content will be Ifrit/Garuda for the primal fights, then Crystal Tower(multiple floor instanced dungeon) then another tier with Bahamut Ruins(same as CT). Also raids are 24man(3 full groups), or at least that was the plan last time they talked about it.Are there any Wiki entries or content guides available yet to show what kind of end game is available?

ya, as they said its not available right now so you only have guesses to go by. Even with the level 50s coming into game this week, all the content will be disabled.Are there any Wiki entries or content guides available yet to show what kind of end game is available?
