Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

Yes we saw the buffs, we saw that GCDs Cures got buffed (probably because of Divine Seal nerf). And about AST we're completly unsure since lots of tooltips have different translations.

Can I just call BS on this now? The original English tooltips are from Mid-may and the ones from Famitsu are from the last stop on the media tour in Germany. No matter what the tooltips from San Francisco may have said, the tooltips from Germany are the most current version. Have they changed since then? Maybe. We won't know until the patch notes come out. But they're the most current information we have to go on at the moment.

This is why I wish Square released forum posts about changes rather than lifting embargos on events from earlier in the year. "duh ofcourse this is going to change in development between now and embargo lift." It'd be one thing if everyone had the same info to share, but apparently thats not the case.

Now that we have regens flowing, and gaining lilies, the next problem is what the lillies do. 3 lilies give a 20% Cooldown reduction? No. That is not the WHM thing, that belongs to the Astralogian, please leave it there. Instead, think about what WHM's need, or want.


Now that we have lilies, what to do with them? Well, using them to power our spells to do more useful stuff than power our cooldowns, how about if they enhanced the skill being used, or other skills. For example: What if using 3 lillies on benediction made Cure II an insta-free cast (kinda like firestarter proc on BLM). This is insanely useful as you can heal double tank buster leaving your co-healer able to do other things. Instead of cooldowns, which isn't very useful for a WHM at all, boost the abilities that we use off lilies. This way, using the lilies will power spells, but also hinder the MP reduction we worked so hard to achieve, and have to rebuild, so it makes gaining and using a trade-off.

What if lilies reduced the MP cost of our skills instead? 1 lily = 5% MP reduction, 2 lilies = 10% and 3 lilies = 15% (or 20% dealers choice). This makes gaining lillies desirable, because WHMs already suffer MP problems, even with Largeese, we will still be wanting for MP. With MP reduction, we won't be killing ourselves for playing our class to the fullest.

Sorry, I could not post this all in one chunk
