RNG does not belong on WHM.

Can we make the dev team write this out a 100 times?

RNG could work if it wasn't designed like this. Say a certain proc would reset the duration for Regen or something, that would work fine as a mechanic.

Making your AoE heal, mitigation, and MP management depend on RNG is quite frankly stupid. It's like they don't even know how WHM is played. Even Cure-spamming WHM count their GCD to land the heals at the right time, nobody just spams it to get procs.

WHM as a job will probably survive for dungeons since they nerfed SCH AoE into the ground, but two wrongs don't make a right.

Is whm the new monk for this expansion?

I was under the impression, that one of the main reasons we only got two new jobs, none of which were tanks or healers, was that more resources could be directed towards the balancing of our current roles.

I feel rather than rectify, the issues have just been exacerbated. SE why

then give them feed back after you've actually played the new changes on the 16th instead of bitching over speculation

Yoshi-P "We tied the lily system to Cure and Cure II, the core WHM mechanic"
English Forum "but we don't use those, we spam regen and medica II so we can DPS more"

I spam regen and medica II because they are far more effective spells to heal with than Cure I and II by FAR.
The new lily system relies on spells that just aren't good to use.... in anything? Except as a backup anyway.

play a better healer my dude

WHM preview looked fine to me. For me I think the lilly system is really interesting. You do use cure 1 and 2 a lot on the tank so you can make use of it for sure.

I am sure Medica 2 and regen will still be enough for most of the healing in 4.0 content and that's just what I am going to do. =p

It's little better then RNG procs we have already, they don't add much besides a small bonus for spam. Honestly looks like an excuse to give WHM a UI element.

DPS getting hit by aoe's is kinda rng too so idk what people are complaining about. This isn't going to prevent white mage from keeping a tank alive, or dps alive when they take unavoidable damage.

Oh if that was the goal they could have removed all Stormblood/Heavensward skills from all healers and gave us 2-3 more Maim and Mend traits, but if we want to be really fancy we can remove a lot of the other spells from ARR and we'll still function.

At least DRK's will have plenty of salt now for Salted Earth.
