|
| ==General Information==
| | [[Thaumaturge]]s are mages specialized in dark magic. Their affinity with dark arts allow them to cast strong spells to inflict damage either on an opponent or a group of enemies. Using destructive spells also drains their magical endurance, and to maintain stability they have to shift between fire and ice. As a [[disciple of magic]], thaumaturges wear cloth [[armor]]. |
| Thaumaturge is a [[Disciples of Magic|Disciple of Magic]] [[classes|class]] that specializes in the destructive magic of [[Fire]], [[Blizzard]] and [[Thunder]]. As the wielders of [[staves]] and [[scepters]], Thaumaturge are especially powerful when dealing damage to multiple enemies at the same time. The [[Guilds|Thaumaturge's Guild]] is in the desert city of [[Ul'dah]]. If you choose Thaumaturge as your first class, you will start off in the city of Ul'dah. At level 30, the Thaumaturge can acquire the [[jobs|job]] [[Black Mage]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Play Style== | | == General information == |
| Armed with scepters and staves, Thaumaturges can wreak havoc with their spells and curses. Thaumaturge is a ranged damage dealing class with powerful AoE spells and strong crowd control abilities. The most important [[attributes|stat]] for the Thaumaturge is [[intelligence]], which increases [[Attack Magic Potency|attack magic potency]].
| | === Guild === |
| | The [[Thaumaturge's Guild]] is in [[Steps of Nald]]. If you choose thaumaturge as your first class, you will start off in the city of [[Ul'dah]]. At level 30, thaumaturges may specialize into [[black mage]]. |
|
| |
|
| ===Mechanics=== | | === Equipment === |
| When a Thaumaturge casts a [[Fire]] spell, they acquire the [[Astral Fire]] buff. The buff increases the damage and [[MP]] cost of fire spells and reduces damage and MP cost of ice spells. MP regen also stops. When a Thaumaturge casts a [[Blizzard]] spell, they acquire the [[Umbral Ice]] buff. The buff reduces the MP cost and damage of fire spells and increases MP regen. If the Thaumaturge casts an ice spell while they have the Astral Fire buff, the buff will be removed. If the Thaumaturge casts a fire spell while they have an Umbral Ice buff on, the buff will be removed.
| | The thaumaturge is a disciple of magic and wears [[cloth armor]]. They use [[scepter]]s and [[staff|staves]]s as weapons, as well as wooden [[shield]]s as defense. The following crafting [[class]]es can create items that are useful to the thaumaturge: |
| | * [[Carpenter]] — Wooden [[shield]]s. |
| | * [[Weaver]] — [[Cloth armor]]. |
| | * [[Goldsmith]] — [[Staff|Staves]], [[scepter]]s, [[earring]]s, [[bracelet]]s, [[necklace]]s and [[ring]]s. |
|
| |
|
| For tons of damage, players should spam Fire spells till their MP is low. Then use [[Transpose]] to swap Astral Fire for Umbral Ice for massive MP regen. When the player's MP is full, use Transpose again to swap Umbral Ice for Astral Fire to resume the flaming bombardment.

| |
|
| If you're a former player of World of Warcraft, think of the Balance talent spec for Druids. The mechanics are very similar.

| ==[[Thaumaturge Hunting Log|Hunting Log]]== | | == Class mechanics == |
| | [[File:Thaumaturge icon.png|40px|baseline|right]] The thaumaturge can cast fire and ice spells to inflict damage. In order to maintain [[MP]] cost at a bearable level they cycle between fire and ice. |

| ==[[Thaumaturge Quests]]==
| | Thaumaturges have [[Astral Fire]] and [[Umbral Ice]] – specific effects attained upon using fire and ice spells, respectively. Each charge of Astral Fire increases MP cost for the next fire spell, while Umbral Ice increases MP regeneration. In order to maintain a low MP cost to use fire spells thaumaturges are required to use spells from the opposite element; using fire spells remove Umbral Ice stacks if there are any, or build Astral Fire if there's no effect active, using ice spells work the other way around. [[Transpose]] is a key ability to balance between both elements. |

| *MP Cost is based on a level 1 character. As you level up, MP Cost of spells will increase.
