Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

[Mahkii]

So, since we're on the topic of AST, what are its downsides? We already know from current discussion one of those is being erased due to Minor Arcana(Lord/Lady), so AST has a use for every card. One thing I want to think is that with the buffs given over the 3.x series, is that AST's healing potencies shouldn't outdo WHM in that category and it's generally what got WHM taken off Raid Meta in general after World 1sts. As far as I know, WHM is used for progression of content, but I wish it could be a job that can at least contest just as easily against its opposing healer(AST) for a spot. In 3.2, when AST was buffed again, I felt like there was an even balance between AST and WHM to the point that you could take either into Midas Savage and still meet checks.

We progged Creator Savage with diurnal AST and cleared a12s in the i250-i260 range. The only situation where WHM would be picked over AST is in the world first race (and that usually only takes a few days to be finished). In a world first race, your only performance measurement is the time of kill on each raid. WHM gets used to make it easier to push (brute force?) through content quickly. Afterwards, AST has everything you want.

Oh i personally right click it. Its the part that were getting a built in one that some people macro, in part to make it easier to ditch on controller. Maybe just keep em both on the bars and flip em when we get to Minor Arcana lefel.

Try this macro:
/statusoff "Bole Drawn"
/statusoff "Balance Drawn"
/statusoff "Arrow Drawn"
/statusoff "Spear Drawn"
/statusoff "Spire Drawn"
/statusoff "Ewer Drawn"

Real question, or rhetorical towards your point?

If it's a real question, personal DPS. From the data we have, WHM will have the highest personal DPS (both AoE and single target) of all three healers. All three healers are also being brought into line of what WHM DPS is currently: Focus on nukes, weakening of DoTs (which means DPS will drop significantly for every GCD not spent DPSing, on any healer).

Having a lower ceiling on personal DPS means didly squat when you have The Balance. (I cleaned it up for clarity on my intent)
