You joke but we all know it's coming :/

Here's to hoping it's a form of barrier or shield... any utility at this point.

Given the animation "jumps" between targets (it first appears on the PLD, then one DD, then another DD), i'd say it's a simple iteration of chainheal, in place of either Medica/Cure III

Personally I'm hoping for something to synergise with other casters (and healers) more. Might bring double caster back in the meta

What about esunaga?

Possibly. Though those casted on didn't appear to have any detrimental effects present, and I would assume if it was an AoE Esuna, it would clearly show a status effect being removed. I'm also not sure how much useful utility AoE Esuna would bring to a raid. I do know that I would love it in 4-man content.

When I look closer, the effect looks like an AoE Tetragrammation. Perhaps a way to give WHM a version of Indom? All the speculation is KILLING me.

This is exactly what I thought when I saw it.

I think whm might get Reflect and it's possible that was what was shown in the benchmark. It's perfect imo cause it's a traditional whm spell and could be a huge raid dps increase when used at ideal points in a fight.

I won't lie - I don't care what they get, I'm still going to main the WHM-train. As a PLD player as well, however, it may be too much to hope that if we are getting an AoE ability, it isn't something with a ridonkulous cast time.
