Just cancelled my pre-order.

OMG this is hilarious !!
I think is good for the community lose this "kind" of people so thank you.

I'm amazed no one asked for OP's gil and stuff yet.

So... can I have it?

You could just simply not play WHM. If they notice a drastic drop in WHM players, maybe that is a good indication that something is wrong..

AST is looking great. Try out AST.

My BF won't let me cancel my pre-order. All I could do was cancel my sub that hit a couple weeks ago (for 6 months *sad panda*). So I'm here for like 160 days or something. I trying to finish up my AST relic before SB hits. WHM was the only class I actually truly enjoyed playing, but between our really bad new skills and losing 9 skills to the role skill list, I really don't think it's something I can play anymore. (Though unlike some people I do realize it would be completely viable for MSQ and dungeons in SB, 'cause POM + Thin Air = OMG Holy spam, but that's just not enough imo. I want WHM to be more than my dungeon healer.)

I dunno, maybe find a new BF if he's forcing you to play a game.

Don't get me wrong, the changes to WHM are EXTREMELY underwhelming. But don't quit the game because of them. Play a different healer or a DPS or a tank, or tough it out on your WHM. If you spent $40 on the expac, you presumably enjoy the story, the atmosphere, the music, the raids, the dungeons, or the friends you've made in the game. If you don't enjoy those things, then yeah, go ahead and find something else you do enjoy, but I find it hard to believe that so many folks have so much investment in a single job in a game where changing jobs is a button click away.

While I enjoy the story of FFXIV very much, the main thing I love about this game is my WHM. My friends from the game I could keep in touch with through Discord or whatever, since many often take breaks from the game and that's how we all stay in touch really anyway. I wouldn't really lose much by quitting imo with how things look for WHM currently. As I stated, I'm now trying to finish my AST relic before early release so I can level that up instead of WHM. I really don't enjoy the class, mostly because I find fishing for Balance annoying, but I can play it for a while instead as a stop gap. At this point in time SE basically has however many days are left on my sub to change my mind, and show me something worth staying for, because what they've shown us so far isn't worth it imo.

Asking a WHM main to play the job that killed WHM. What level of cucked is that?

[Centershock]

I feel like this thread should be in General Discussion since it's not entirely understood that OP just cancelled their pre-order because of their 'crai moar' attitude with the changes to WHM without having played it -AFTER- the SB changes hit.

Unless you do ex primals or savage, the WHM changes won't affect you that much. With the nerfs to SCHs DPS, WHM is now better than SCH in dungeons (no cleric = easy holy spam). I can see WHM changes coming fairly quickly, so its not a totally dead job.
