Been waiting for the daily reset so I can finally post here... So this will be a long post because I have a lot to say
Like many who are maining WHM, Im really worried SCH is making WHM completely irrelevant, and it really annoys me because SCH has never been a big job in the FF series... It first appeared in FF 3 and was a crappy version of Red Mage, then it didnt even make an appearance again until FF 11
Meanwhile, White Mage has been THE healer since FF 1 and has been in every game with job system, and even those without (such as Rosa in FF4), and now suddenly they are being thrown under the rug for no reason
For starters, Yoshida said WHM is supposed to be the job for the "big heals"... Except they dont really have any healing advantage at all over SCH
They made it so every SCH heal matches the WHM counterpart perfectly, and heres the kicker: they ALSO have a Fairy healing/buffing alongside them
If you just consider a SCH spamming Physick + Fairy spamming whatever their heal is called, thats already 700 potency per GCD... Not only does WHM not have any heal as strong as that, they would have to spam Cure II to even get close, and we all know thats not possible due to MP restraints
But wait, Im just getting started...
Look at Presence of Mind vs Fey Glow
Presence of Mind: Increases Spell speed by 10 seconds, 300 sec cooldown (and we dont even know by how much?)
Fey Glow: Increases spell speed for EVERYONE around the Fey by 30% for 30 seconds with 60 sec cooldown
You have got to be kidding meSo the PET of SCH gets a party wide buff that is on HALF of the time, but WHM gets a pathetic 10 second self buff over a 6 minute cooldown?
I could go on but Ill stop here (and trust me, things dont get any better for WHM if you compare the rest of their skills)
Im just gonna go ahead and make a prediction: If nothing is done about WHM/SCH balance, world first Bahamut and Primals Extreme whatever will be done with 2 SCH and no WHM, because there simply isnt any reason to use WHM right now![]()
