Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

They haven't gone in depth about WHM's abilities yet, so I'm going to hold my judgement on it until then.
I do hope they gave it more utility though... >w>

If the flowers will act like a reverse-Aetherflow, and if SE gives us some cool actions that generate and consume them, it could be pretty interesting. I'm cautiously optimistic that the flowers will be more than just a shield.

Now that Stone IV animation though, am I going to be twirling and spinning all expansion?

I actually would prefer if Cleric Stance stood as is, and that they made it like AST sects, only changeable out of combat.

So you get locked into DPS stance from someone being overzealous about pulling the boss before you can change stances after helping out on the trash? No offense, but that is infinitely worse than what we have now (or will have).

Maybe holy-based attacks considering we're white mages who use white magic? I'd even take water-based attacks at this point. Just no more thunking rocks, please.

I'm pretty disappointed that the other classes are getting revamps, overhauls, increased utility and stylish new abilities and it looks like we're getting... Stone IV and more of the same overhealing no one needs past initial patch releases.

I just hope we don't end up the new 3.0 PLD.

I hope they're giving us utility to replace the abilities we're losing to role skills.

The problem is they made Ast just as powerful as Whm in healing + everything else. It should be weaker at healing and made the SCH adjust to healing more, but SCHs that would mean SCH would have to adjust what it does with their Ast partner. meaning personal DPS would go down, but overall DPS would be where it should be because of cards. Couple that with the content not needed that much healing, it's just stupid. It's like they have a fundamental disconnect to meta.

Fortunately, we spin for holy. And assize. And aero III. And soon stone 4, perhaps. I think we're OK.

They're not. Btw we lost Divine Seal as well lmfao. This is funny how. It's hilarious how bad they're treating WHM.

Seriously everyone else got new great unique job skills, we got more heals. This is amazing, it's like they hate WHM.
