Now that evans are faster, I don't see the point of archmages anymore considering the lack of support skills.
Yea, I love my Archmage, but I still don't think they are balanced, F/Ps are better off than I/Ls though, and Bishops are pretty respectable for a support class, Angel Ray is an excellent skill.
The one thing that was unique about I/L was multi hit, but Big Bang's charge time, and CL's lack of multi hit leaves them a miss on that one individual factor.
I'm praying this isn't the end of balancing.
-Seal needs to go
-Magic Composition needs to go
-Big Bang needs to go or remove the Charge Time completely
-CL needs a Major damage buff, it's own stun Rate, and a Higher Critical Rate, as well as being Multi hit, and removal of the damage reduction over mobs, also increase the mob count.
This is more aesthetic but, I/L was always the Flashiest of the 3, but Clerics and F/Ps got some pretty awesome new animations 2nd and 3rd, and even their 4th Job animations are pretty nice, CL on the other hand looks like a childish scribble, Big Bang is the same for all 3 Classes, I'd like to see some new animations for Magic Armor, Magic Guard, Slow(Wouldn't mind the removal of the skill all together though), Thunderbolt, Energy Bolt, Elemental Resistance, and Chain Lighting.
I also think the two Archmages really need more diversification 4th Job, the whole Fire/Ice Demon; Ifrit/Elquines; Fire/Lighting Big Bang; Infinity; Blizzard Meteo really makes it look like they really didn't put any thought into separating the 2 classes by anything but Element.
