I stand corrected on the "from day one" comment but really, I think it's clear exactly what I was trying to say there. Regen has been White Mage's speciality since that level 70 cap update, reinforced with merit and gear choices along the way and by the lack of powerful regen magic for other jobs. It's very well established now.

This isn't a matter of White Mage becoming more powerful, it's about SCH's sticky fingers and the fact that White Mage should continue to be the best at one of its speciality lines of spells. If SCH was suddenly given all the tier II enfeebles and a new set of tier III ones, a trait to vastly increase sticking rate, and then have the audacity to claim that it was the new best enfeebler - there'd be outrage. This is no different.

Regardless of how people feel about White Mage, this is a shining example of a job not getting a spell or capability because SCH has got it first for whatever reason, and that is wrong. There's also the much bigger picture - Regen has been enhanced for SCH, and now it won't be properly fixed for White Mage and Red Mage because, hilariously and ironically, that would be copying SCH. Regen is nearly useless for those two jobs (who you've demonstrated have had them for nearly a decade) for various reasons, but now SCH has abruptly claimed mastery over them - and there was so much potential. People really cannot suggest that this makes sense.

I know that I'm whining and I appreciate that there is a small irony in that I'm arguing for White Mage to have new spells when it is already a strong job, but this is about the principle of the thing, and the aftermath for regen as a whole, rather than just about White Mage. I strongly feel that this goes deeper than that.
