Bottom line is, Regen is a huge part of WHM. If it wasn't, there wouldn't be Regen Effect merits, there wouldn't be multiple pieces of equipment that enhance Regen. Cleric's Briault +2, Enhances potency of "Regen" II. Where's that at for RDM or SCH? Don't get in my face talking about the job when you clearly have no idea.

I cast Regen IV a lot and find it to be pretty useful for the things I do in game every day, so yeah, it's a blow not getting Regen V. Considering SCH isn't even getting Regen IV until this next update, it's just kind of funny. You'd think they'd give Regen V to SCH at Lv.95 and WHM at Lv.99, but no, they clearly have other plans even though they've been pushing that Regen be more useful all along.

In the end, I don't really care for Regen V that much. I can still use Regen IV, and it'll be usable with Accession come the update so that's great. My one reserve was that I was hoping the Regen buff with Light Arts would be for SCH sub as well, but it's not.
Given how basically all of whms gear and abilities are centered around the "Cure" line of spells, with the next largest focus probably being the "barelement" spells, I think you, and everyone else trying to claim the same thing, are pulling "Regen is a huge part of WHM" out of your ass. At this point in the game, regen isn't a huge, big, or even medium sized part of whm. Regen is a small part of whm's immensely powerful healing repertoire that most whms don't even bother making use of due to its lack of efficiency relative to other healing methods, primarily cures. Whm easily caps cure potency, something that is far more difficult for all the other jobs with cure spells, and even takes it a step further by totally bypassing the cure soft and hard caps via cureskin. Whm is also far, far, far more efficient with group heals than the other jobs with the ability, especially sch, due to how accession doubles mp cost and casting time. Whm loses absolutely nothing on any front by sch getting regen V.

Oh, and since you guys all want to complain about sch stealing something from whm (regens), I'd like to call your attention to how whm completely stole something from sch. Both are even present in merits! I'm talking about how whm's "Boost-" line of spells pretty much copied and then totally dwarf sch's Cat2 Merit Stormsurge. Sch's can give +7 to a stat at best, with 5 merits. Whms can give +15 to a stat by sneezing, and with the available enhancing gear, will be able to pass +20~25 at 99. Do I really care about this? No; however the comparison stands.

Seriously people, enough whining. You're starting to sound like a bunch of angsty melee rdms bitching about how they're not recognized for the fact that they want to pretend to be a melee class.
