Description
Conjury calls upon elemental forces present in nature and concentrates them to a potency at which spells can be weaved. Through practiced meditation on the essences of creation, conjurers draw forth and absorb aether from their immediate surroundings. A wand or cane made from unworked wood is then utilized to focus the aether until it manifests as the desired spell. The seat of the Conjurers' Guild lies at the Stillglade Fane in Gridania, where the voices of Eorzea's elementals are said to be the most powerful.

Conjurers are trained to coax metaphysical forces forth from the elements which comprise all of creation, allowing them to weave powerful spells.

Attuned to the essence of all things around them, the conjurers' intimacy with all forms of being enables them to shift between both offensive and defensive magic as needed.

Re: Conjurer Stats and Info

With Spiritbind, are you binding yourself to a particular element, and reducing spells of that element by half? Or does it reduce all spells by half? The description seems a little vauge on how it works...

I'm also a little surprised to see Cure on the spell list there. It seemed to me that Conjurer was more of the elemental side of the Black Mage split from the dark side(which became Thaumaturge). I'm wondering if they will be able to use elemental spells at full power, or if they will be relatively weak compared to the other casters, giving up power for versatility like Red Mage did in FFXI.

Re: Conjurer Stats and Info

I imagine there will be advanced classes down the line where you can take specific conjurer spells and focus on them? Tanaka already talked about combining skills from various classes in order to create the old jobs like WHM.

Anyway, what the hell do they mean by "Optimal Rank" o. O?

Re: Conjurer Stats and Info

Bind is a status effect in XIV just like XI. I haven't gotten Spiritbind but I imagine it makes you unable to move. Looks like the optimal ranks listed are the ranks the spells unlock.

Re: Conjurer Stats and Info

In this version of the beta the minimum Rank (job level) to use equipment isn't enforced, I.E. A Rank 1 Conjurer can wear Rank 50 Conjurer equipment (stats are scaled down). As far as I can tell the Optimum Rank is the traditional "minimum equippable level" of an item.

For Beta I can see the point in this as we have essentially a small walled garden to play in, it is unclear if this will make it into retail or if other resitrictions will be applied to what you can or can not equip.
