Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

Oh, really now. Then please, tell me why, for example, I barely ever found a duty finder group for stuff like Zurvan willing to take a WHM with them. And I don't mean I joined them and got kicked for underperforming, I literally only found groups searching for SCH/AST teams or only one or the other. Tell me why 90% of all raid statics search AST/SCH instead of WHM. Tell me why I had two groups normally running with AST complain that they are slower than usual in their Alexander Savage kills, even though I gave it my all, pushed out not too shabby DPS, while solo-healing and nobody dying. If WHM isn't a liability, then why does nobody want to take the class for anything but casual or farm content. Before 3.4 WHM was suboptimal? Aren't you confusing something here? Balance and how ridiculous AST buffs were destroyed the class, because why take it when AST is simply better in everything it does. Can WHM clear everything? YES. Is WHM prefered for anything, or has significant advantages over AST or SCH? NO.

And that's exactly what this here is about, and what you apparently don't want to get into your head. WHM complain because we don't get what we need to stay competitive and what literally everyone else in our role has. We instead, once again, loose something were we should win instead. You played PLD? Shouldn't you know best why we are so scared right now, then? As things look like right now, they are screwing WHM over, again, and nothing they showed or said so far implied the opposite. We shouldn't be too worked up because we need to take up Shroud from the job action list? Because now others can manage our MP for us? Do you even know how ridiculous this statement actually is???
Ever since 2.0, bards complained with no end about having to play MP song for healers, because it lowers their dps. Why exactly should this be any different in the future, huh? Give only one good reason why this should change. ONE. I dare you.

And yes, we actually can, because if I count all nerfes and all buffs WHM ever got, nerfs beat buffs at least 6:1. Holy? Got nerfed three times if you count 1.0, too. Stoneskin? Nerfed. Now most likely removed. Protect? Everyone can have it. Cure III? I count that as a nerf since I actually prefered the old trait; which, btw, AST ended up getting. I also preferred the old Medica II, btw, even if that change was more neutral in the end. Oh, right, they also nerfed, and now likely removed, Presence of Mind. I honestly cannot remember all nerfs WHM got because there are simply too many of them for me to keep track.

Also, didn't you want to stay away from this topics?
