A WHM being forced to hang up the cane.

If SE fails to address the AST issue (And lets be real here they most likely will). It won't be just White Mages getting tossed out, There's a good chance Scholars will be joining them as well. The optimal raid setup for healers right now is double AST. Get ready to see it in the Omega raids. If it does happen, I'll quit healing. I'll pick Samurai up in the mean time.

Balance needs to be completely removed from this game and no healer should EVER be allowed to give a straight up damage buff ever again. In my opinion, White Mage needs a rework. The big heals identity just doesn't work. All healers need to be able to clear content and any healer worth their salt will be able to meet that healing requirement on the other jobs. Just healing in this game is very easy to be completely honest.

I have been politely shown the door for Savage raiding, I can go SCH or AST but not WHM. The reason? WHMs have "poor utility" compared to the other healers and the raids don't require the burst healing of WHM offers. I can keep everybody alive on my WHM just fine but its not about healing anymore, its all about how much deepz you can do.

Sincerly,
A WHM being forced to hang up the cane.

So... The DPS are not doing a good enough job and are punishing the WHM for it is what I'm hearing. It's either that or they are so selfish that they want to finish the raid 45 seconds earlier and are willing to stop a person playing a job they like just for that. Or perhaps they saw 1 elite group (likely with people happy to swap jobs) use a combination and they are blindly following so they can have the illusion they are just like them.

Sorry. It just makes me upset that anyone thinks its ok to force someone to play another healing job for something so silly.
It's awful. You can still skip soar with 2x WHM!

That being said. I do think there is some small balancing issues, and I look forward to seeing changes in 4.0.

White Mage needs a rework. The big heals identity just doesn't work.

Maybe we will get lucky and WHM will gain Haste.

This makes me curious, because I thought they changed how the limit bar went up to specifically counter stacking jobs. Does it not actually do all that much to prevent it?

It does make quite a significant change, but not if you're good enough that you don't need LB in the first place. I kinda doubt it's the optimal setup for raid progression right now, but it certainly is the optimal set-up for parser runs, since the key to top percentiles is feeding people non-stop balances.

Ah. I was still thinking progression. Explains a little.
