Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

Honestly I think it's more an issue with AST being completely OP rather then WHM being bad.

I'm recalling a certain situation.

Oh yes. 3.0 astrologian. In before that repeats, but for white mage. Then again, I'm still rolling with Yoshida's "please trust me" on white mage for Stormblood.

We still have Repose though. Is that the new WHM identity? We can sleep stuff in pre 2.1 dungeons?

They dont wanted to let WHMs Hotbar look totally empty.

[Verdan]

You guys forgetting that Assize is now extremely OP now? It's big damage and big heal, instantly, with 10% MP to boot.

Ast gets a ground-targeted one that's more powerful.

i really think just doing something about the Cure I/II proc limitation would be enough. I'll leave the raid meta balancing to others to let them figure out the perfect potency values for everyone, but the reliance on hard casted Cure I and Cure II's is so bizarre that it's going to drive people away from the job quick.

I just wish half the new stuff didn't revolve around casting basic cure spells. They seem to be under the impression that all WHMs spam cure all the time which sure, if you're bad, but a good whm's rotation will use as few as possible and it's usually Cure 2 that's used.

Even if they just added Stone IV as a spell that could gain lillies it would go a long way to making it a bit better.

The Confession/Plenary mechanic will suffer from exactly the same problem btw.

This makes sense. I posted previously due to my ignorance on this issue and said that I felt the Lily mechanic was fair. Confession being AoE but only on the target you build it on from healing seems weird...

Really unfortunate that we need dramatic threads like we've seen the past dozen days however watching WHM SB was basically watching a slow-motion train derail and crash.

The only instances where a range would be left out of the 30 yalm AOE are when the boss's diameter is 12 yalms wide and the tank is max melee range of 1 yalm in front of the boss and the range is more than 17 yalms from the boss's hitbox, directly opposite the MT. And in most CURRENT scenarios (if such raid scenarios persist into the future) that Range was fixing to die anyways or use personal CDs. )

Forget the range of the skill. It has no range cool. It has a range we'll just move. The important part of it is the stacks. No stacks = no heals. The stacks will also fall off if not refreshed. There isn't enough time to cast cure/cure2 on everyone to try and build stacks. It wastes MP and focused healing on people that do need it. So, when the time that comes to actually use the skill there will be maybe at most 4 people.

Now, ALL healing spells gave stacks that would be a game changer.

[Metsonm]

Throwing my voice into the crowd so SE might pay more attention. This was my initial reaction upon

Met> First
Met> Why is it RNG?
Met> Second, why is it based on spells a WHM wouldn't be using?
Met> Third, why is Stoneskin on a 60 second cooldown? And why does it cost our guage?
Met> Fourth, the confessional system
Met> Why is THAT rng too?
Met> Why does it get built up with single target casts, but spent on an AoE?
Met> When will I EVER cast Cure or Cure II on someone not the MT?

I didn't even think they were serious about removing SS because what reason did they have to do that? I just assumed people were overreacting and it just wasn't in the screenshot at the time.

They could bake in a buff into Confession. Give them a defense boost per stack. Have them get 'Tailwind' instead to increase speed.

Was going to main WHM going forward as I did since buying the game but now I'm really considering dropping it for AST, or even drop healing all together and just main RDM.

I am saddened.
