Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

If that happens, I'll laugh with you, but there's nothing in SE's history of designing this game that should lead anyone to believe that desperately high healing requirements will be implemented across the board with 4.0.

You don't need to have played the 4.0 client to express legitimate concerns based on the information available thus far. The Lily system alone should have everyone, including SE, scratching their heads.

But that's the point of the changes they're trying to make: They're trying to shift the jobs more towards their proper roles. Healers more towards actual healing. Tanking more towards actual tanking. So they gave healers more healer tools, buffed their healing, reined in their dps capabilities. They added more tank tools for tanks, and active tools to mitigate both self and party members. The reason they do this is so they can start designing and tailoring new content towards these intended roles and how they designed them. That's what I see them doing here.

To take this one step further, we have no reason to believe that 4.0 WHM is designed such that it would be better at handling this than any other healer. I do not believe that SE would think that would be a good idea either.

You missed the point, and what I said. That content, especially raid content, is 8-man content. There's always 2 healers. It's not about designing any 1 healer to be able to handle it. But rather something that can only be handled by both healers, together. That's why I said both healers spamming.
