Status Ailments and a WHMs' ability to remove them.

WHM should of gotten Erase II that could remove multiple status ailments based on Healing Magic Skill.

Esuna currently sucks, it was created for WHM's to melee with party members and proved SE had absolutely zero idea what they were doing at the time. It needs to be made player target-able and able to remove multiple -na type debuffs, and again make it based on healing magic skill.

I second this, esuna is suckage because you need to have the status effect FIRST.

That or unnerf Auspice (mwa ha ha), buff Cura (because Curaga is better in every single way currently), give White Mage some better defense against AoE attacks that aren't magical while under Afflatus Misery. Curaga is pretty amazing because it gets cheaper as you hit more targets and you have enough tiers to spam it, so while I'd like to be able to cure myself as well against relentless AoEs, it is kinda hard to do that if the mob has non-magical based AoE damage. Esuna is also amazing for mobs where you can withstand their effects and still be able to cast, although so many mobs abuse Silence/Petrify/Doom/Petrify/Hypersleep or other effects that this wouldn't even be possible if they didn't also essentially AoE death.

As a White Mage I'd love to be able to stand in the middle of the battle where all my AoEs would hit the relevant targets, even if I don't get to melee while I'm at it (this is kinda impossible as long as you have to choose between being able to swap between your Arka IV/Beneficus/Yagrush or fulltiming one of Gambateinn/Yagrush/Mjollnir, and even more impossible without native or even job ability based Dual Wield).

Afflatus Misery is so worthless right now. I know there are higher priorities right now then the evil twin of Afflatus Solace, but I hope to see it someday get some attention.

Afflatus misery should probably cure hp based on total accumulated damage since last time you spent its charged up stuff, not just most recent damage.

And don't forget giving it JA haste, and let it boost Banish and Holy spells by a lot!
