WHM Divine Benison

WHM don't have issue with mana...

doesn't mean I think it's good design.

I agree with this. It doesn't feel good to be rewarded for playing inefficiently; there are plenty of situations now where I know I don't need to use a Cure 2, but I'll throw it out there anyway just to pad my gauge for an upcoming CD or because I want to throw out a Benison.

Sure, we have the MP generation to support this, but deliberately overhealing like this runs counter to every WHM (and general healer) instinct instilled by the past few years of gameplay. If you aim for maximum efficiency, you'll see many fewer Lilies than someone who leverages Cure 2 to work the new system.

Bingo.

We've spent years playing as efficiently as possible due to WHM's atrocious resource management before, so while it may not affect us as much now, it pains me to do so.
