WHM/BLM Mini Rant

healers have always had high damage spells in FF games like holy which has been nerfed so many times now, I would rather have high damage holy which is costly instead of this current low damage low cost holy.

It just irks me why a healer would have a higher potency magic spell than a black mage. Afflatus Misery should be changed to 1 blood lily petal to cast but potency should be like 350. Xenoglossy should be atleast 800. I play both but it's just i don't understand why a healer has a higher spell potency than a DPS.

Traditionally, Final Fantasy White Mages have always had one super nuke that was on par, if not stronger, than their Black Mage counterparts. But it was just that: one. One spell. Compared to the arsenal that Black Mage has.

Furthermore, White Mages tend to have higher Magic Power than Black Mages. Case in point: FFX, Yuna was stronger than Lulu when it came to raw magic power.

Totally agreed. Holy is supposed to be the White Mage’s ultimate offensive ability. It’s something that should be built up to and not spammed on trash.
