    Coming from EQ1, I am often baffled and shocked by the very very short recovery time from a wipe.

    In EQ if a raid wipes, it takes 15-30 minute to get back to where you were and to regain mana and rebuff. In FFXIV its 15-30 seconds. I know they are different games completely, but the easier you make it to recovery from a death the more people will be ok with dying.

    Its not exactly just whm but all jobs that alwas pre buff before going into combat. Its only really whm & sch would be most effected by this. This would fix having to wait for buffs. Making whm & sch only having to reapply buffs in mid combat if they need to.

    Thankfully crass mechanics like that were consigned to history.

    In a game with so much insta wipes and one-shots you really *should* be okay with dying imo.
