Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

Please be respectful of webcomic artists and link to their site when you post their comics. It can be found here http://www.lifeinaggro.com/comic/2013/11/02

Note it's from 2013.

The web address is on the comic itself and what does it matter when it is from? Funny is still funny.

WHM is (...to a degree) "fine" now, but it won't be in Stormblood.

And players don't want "doable" as far as raids go, they want something at least semi-competitive instead of being greeted by communal groaning and "uhh can you switch?" whenever they try to use their main job.

While you're correct that the original Comic is from Life In Aggro, this picture is an edited version from the FFXIV subreddit (The edit is changing "Final Fantasy" to "White Mage" in the 2nd to last dialogue bubble.)

It matters because the image was linked from discord so the owner of that comic has will have no idea that their comic has been linked unless someone reaches out to them. It's a respect thing. Comic artists hate it when someone takes an image from their site and posts it somewhere else without linking back.

All the more reason to link to the original site and where the edited image came from.

Maybe the ones you know, the ones I know don't care unless someone else is trying to take credit for their work. Which Ama didn't do.

I work in this industry thank you very much. Always link to the source, you may never know what the original image or context was. Most artists care very much because posting it on 4chan, reddit, imgur, facebook earns them nothing, and private systems like discord and slack don't provide a way for the artists to know where their comics are being shared.

i feel the same, before judge a change, try it... yes whm will not have buff, but will be the best healer and we don't know how hard the new monster will hit... then maybe a focus healer will be more than welcome.
especially since they seems to want to stop the trend of the speed run, since most of the aoe are nerfed passed 3 target.

I havent and despite the look I am still going to main it. However, the press who have played it havent really been enthusiastic about it. I hope that its wrong and I am pleasantly surprised but I will happily set the bar low based on the info I currently have.

WHM is fine it has bigger stronger heals, better aoe range.

The problem is, if you actually look at the tooltips for WHM you'll see we really don't get either. We get no new AoEs, period. Plenary Indulgence, due to it's requirements for confession stacks on the players healed, means it will only actually heal the tank, and only for as much as a cure II at MOST. Other than that we have a buildup for lowering the cooldown on our oGCD heals... that automatically gets consumed when you use ANY of them, which means you're not actually going to see 3 lillies unless you avoid using your oGCD abilities (and if you're sitting on them then what's the point of a cooldown reduction?)

Not only do we only see our direct heals boosted (rather than the regens we're known for), but it's boosted in a manner that doesn't seem to actually help anyone.
