Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

[Mogana]

I now choose to ignore the Lily mechanic that I placed the gauge far off to the side I don't focus on. I am not seeing the point in wanting to fish for lillies to lower cooldowns. It feels unnecessary to blow through MP to use Cure IIs or overheal intentionally when I could be throwing rocks at stuff. I gave it a shot and it's not something I am going to make a habit of right now. If I cure people then I cure people and I will get lillies, but I find no need to keep an eye on the gauge. With that said, my gameplay didn't change much, if at all. Who knows, my opinion might change depending on how the Stormblood instances go once the congestion eases a bit. I've run a few sub-60 dungeons and level 60 dungeons (but I wasn't able to finish any due to DC'ing) and I've come out of them feeling this way about the update.

No more Stoneskin, no more Eye for an Eye, no more SureCast (which now seems more useful). I kept SwiftCast and I had to take back the original, useful WHM abilities I lost to the Role feature. These are abilities that I want to stick with at all times because I'm a forgetful person and remembering to switch my role actions before every instance is not practical for me. I'm not going to look up every instance I forgot about just to see if they have cleansable debuffs or not so that I can swap out my Esuna. WHM should have kept it. Scholar should have kept their Leeches and Astrologians should have kept their Exalted Detriment. What's a healer who can't cleanse?

Well now I have no room to try out the other actions without giving up the ones I generally find useful. The reduced cooldown to Benediction and Assize is nice but the update in general is underwhelming.

I also don't think it should take getting to level 70 for SE to care to hear us out when the lily mechanic and most abilities come well before then, but whatever.
