Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

SCH is hurting too, at this point.

Not much more to talk about with 25 minutes to early access. I'm still bullish on WHM due to dps, mp, ogcd, and the drastic changes to everyones combat skills. Time to see how it feels, and get some parse data.

Yep. Feels like the only Healer that's happy right now is AST. Let's hope everything works out for the best, otherwise WHM/SCH will be sitting around staring at AST until SE does something.

WHM/SCH will be sitting around staring at AST until SE overbuffs them.

To be honest, with the direction we're going now they'd probably just buff AST again and act confused when people got upset...

Sadly that would not surprise me

Agreed but I dunno....i feel like if I can manage to get at least one confession stack on someone id be good to go essentially. Pray to the 12 RNG gods.

And Divine Benison will be less than 30 seconds due to lillies (not much lesser)

I think I can make WHM work, just need to not use regen as often and cure 2 forever. lol

It will take some getting used to -- changing the way we heal and spending more time casting cure/cure2 but somehow i feel with the death of cleric stance I feel more free to use cure/cure2 compared to before.

To be honest, this expansion has made me feel kind of dirty/guilty playing AST. I feel like people are going to look down more harshly on AST players because of how screwed their jobs were with this expansion. People were already asking for the job to be beheaded in 3.0 for the large discrepancies between healer viability it had back then. AST has been my favorite healer since release, even back when it was garbage...

I was really hoping that WHM/SCH would get more love this time around. 1: So everyone could enjoy their jobs and 2: So that the idea of a new healer job wouldn't be some distant, far off dream...
Sadly, the new changes do not make me very optimistic that the jobs are going to be balanced in a healthy way. I fear they're going to have to reinvent WHM/SCH again and put new healer jobs on the back burner...again.
/sigh

Agreed but I dunno....I think I can make WHM work.

I hope for you WHM's that's true! I just hope this done in a healthy way that ( WHM Mains ) can actually enjoy the job and have fun.
I'd hate for people to feel stuck and play the job just because of previous time invested.

We won't know for sure until people have a chance to test it out, but man...on paper it sure looks bad.

You just gotta buff The Balance to achieve better balance, no?

4.1 Patch Notes. "The Balance now has a unique passive that prevents it from losing efficiency when used as an AoE. Increases target's damage dealt by 20% --> 50% to single targets and to group targets. Duration: 30s --> 60s

With these great ideas, one would think I'd be on the development team!

Am I the only one surprised they didn't change Plenary Indulgence at all? Like I'm kind of surprised it functions the same way it did in the media tour...
