Magic for disciples of war - sugarfrosted - 06-16-2013
Just wondering if any DoW can use magic. After playing a little bit of conjurer and thaumaturge, I notice their skills are restricted to only DoM. I haven't spent much time playing the beta (as much as the character creator) so I'm just wondering if it opens up that option later on.

I am also curious because I would like to be a warrior that is able to cast fire spells if possible!

Exactly, the ability to make a custom character "class" was one of the best things I liked about 1.0

As it generally is none of the offensive DoM skills can be cross classed.
Cure, Protect, Raise, Stoneskin.
These are CNJ skills that any class can use.

So, things like "Fire" "Blizzard" or any offensive skill sets are for Magic users only, while
things like "Cure" or ~Anything?~ defensive is usable by non-magic users? Sorry, I know about the game, but not enough. Thank you for the input puupuu~

Some DoM abilities can be used cross class too. Thaumaturge's Surecast and Swiftcast abilities can be used by any class. I haven't had a chance to play with Conjurer much but I'm sure they have some too.
RE: Magic for disciples of war - Folken - 06-16-2013
Ice and Fire Spells are strictly THM/BLM. Not even CNJ or WHM can use those ones.
In fact, the only offensive THM spells that CNJ can use is ThunderI/II/III. And the above mentioned Surecast and swiftcast.
On the flip side. Of all CNJ skills, THM can only use the support ones (Cure, Protect, Stoneskin etc.) And the basic levels of Stone and Aero. The higher stone and aero are CNJ only. The Cleric Stance skill from CNJ can also be used by THM (Increases offensive spell dmg by 10%, decreases healing spells by 20%)
So even the DoM classes are restricted in what they can equip cross-class. The DoW classes have similar restrictions as well, a lot of the abilities not being able to be cross-classes.

Hrmm...
That makes me really sad.. I will have to think about how I am going to pull in RP into my class selection now!

Do you think the lack of cross-class skills is a way to make future jobs more relevant?
