White Mage Guide!

[Lovemonster]

I have some minor issues with your rotations.
You seem to very much understand the class, and the guide is pretty fantastic.

However!
Your use of weaving off-GCD skills with GCD skills is poor.
Especially Swiftcast. See page 4.

[SwiftCast] -> [Med II] - 2.5 second gap doing nothing > [Cure]
You're wasting 1 off-gcd.

I wouldn't advise using PoM & DS together unless you're a particularly undergeared character facing specific mechanics like; T4 Dreadnaught, T9 Favour.

And finally your DPS rotation isn't optimal nor decent. (Sorry)
Page 4 - you have a good concept for your rotation, but you're wasting a lot of resources if DPS is the goal.

Try this:

[DS] [Regen] off-gcd [Cleric Stance] + [Swiftcast] + [Holy] Off-gcd [PoM] [Holy]*9,000

It's okay I like criticism. Here's what I think:

For swiftcast, I only use it during DS if I need Medica II up and want to clip regen before DS falls off. Although using medica II will leave a large gap, the 3 seconds cast prevents you from fitting in a extra Regen so you actually lose 1 GCD using medica II. If swiftcast is worth more than 1 GCD during Divine Seal than definitely save it. I actually never use Cure after Medica II, the diagram is just to show GCD fillers. Normally Cleric Stance after Medica II, but even if I don't I still think 1 swiftcast is worth the extra GCD you get during DS. I don't really use SC for anything else. If you think about it SC really only increases your cast on 2.5 GCD spells by 1.5 seconds which really isn't that big of a difference. The fact that you can move-cast with swiftcast is nice but like BLMs our job likes to stay stationary as much as possible.

I like how you use swiftcast and then PoM I have to try that out. In really big pulls where would you fit your healing (I don't think 1 Regen + Holy spam works for that)? I try to do this by using 2 Regens/Medica II during Divine Seal so I don't have to heal as much since 2 Regens (1050x2) + Medica II (700) is at least 4 Cure IIs during Divine Seal. If clipping that 2nd regen isn't important then yes SC then PoM seems to be much better. I would really like to know how you would maximize Holy use if the tank was taking much more damage than 1 Regen could deal with. (and no Bene please, Bene makes speedruns too easy)

PoM and DS I don't really use together either except during speed runs. I only mention it to show that PoM lets you use 1 more GCD during DS (even 2 with some more spellspeed) and so it's good to know when healing gets really intense.
