Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

It seems weird that they would pretty much rework sam and nin when they are doing fine, and then do nothing to whm when it's bleeding out on the floor.

-Expedience's sprint effect has been reduced from 20 seconds to 10 seconds.

...That's all? :/

They slide does state that it's not an exhaustive list of the adjustments to these or other jobs. They mentioned healers are also getting MP changes (not mentioned in slide). We are currently unsure whether they know the full extent of issues that doesn't only relate to Ultimate or the full extent of the incoming changes. Whether they actually understand the full problem is a different story.

I think WHM got a new PVP skill in the 6.1 trailer, so there's hope.
...Though we're unsure whether that is going to be part of PvE. So I'm very doubtful.

Only DPS classes get the privilege of being reworked during expansions. Healers and Tanks get minimal adjustments at best.

Nah that’s just par for the course. You can’t have happy healers!

They at least did something to Living Dead finally. =w=

Now Living Dead's Walking Dead effect will heal the user whenever they attack.

As I said in the healer group: The theme for Endwalker is despair…

I really worry if we will have jobs in 7.0 at this rate, almost every DPS and Tank job are getting self heals to the point where if you make no mistakes, you can leave healers behind.

They are worried about player burnout and then dump more despair fuel on the healers…

I would imagine that if they did address any of the actual problems WHM has, they would present it on the slides during the letter. While MP cost is a big issue for WHM, their whole kit needs to be reexamined; Its mission statement (being the healer with the biggest GCD heals) runs counter to both how it and healers in XIV are actually played and its kit doesn't even seem to be designed around it.

Not to mention, PVP and PvE are designed separate from each other, so you are very much in the right to be doubtful anything from PvP will be reflected in PvE.
*EDIT* They just said Jobs are getting their own Limit Break actions in PvP, so that's probably what the new WHM PvP action in the trailer was.

Yoshida's Regen was 100 MP cheaper in Live Letter. That's it. Just Regen.

I just saw the LL getting Limit Break actions for PvP and thought the same thing. R.I.P. PVE Healers.

Now it all depends on what their definition of "substantial" healing during walking dead is because you only get 4 GCD's worth of it. 3 to be safe.
