Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

Honestly if you're using Cure III any additional healing by PI will result in overheals.

Additionally I didn't include Cure III because it's only situational based on stacks and group coordination. And when it comes to situational healing, it was take White Mage 2 medicas, an assize, and then Plenary to just match what an Astrologian can do in the space of a single GCD assuming they've already laid Earthly Star.

Do you guys ever stop complaining, this change is what we needed.

Obviously it's not your go to aoe heal, but the change is fine.

Stop picking little stuff.

WHM solo heal and let the other healer be your 5th DPS :-P

The skill is useless, its barely a regen tick at one stack and there would never be a reason to try to get two or more stacks. People would already be topped and it only last ten seconds. It's retarded.

Screw that I'm a WHM it should be MY job to nuke. Make your co-healer do the heavy lifting I got stones to throw. I guess I can afford to throw an Asylum down every once in a while for the AST/SCH peasants, but only if they ask nicely. Berserk used Esuna/Leeches in 15 please <se.4>

You're ignoring the fact that it heals EVERYONE with a stack, while regen is a single target cast. Shouldn't compare 1 apple to 8 apples.

The point is you'd never build more than 1 stack or you're doing something wrong. A regen tick is 150 potency, which is barely noticeable / moves the needle. We can relate to a regen tick as minor.

They should just remove stacks 2 and 3. Make it one stack 300 potency heal if anything.

I think with the ability to refresh the time on the stacks by adding a new one, could make the skill slightly better... It would not benefit those who choose to heal their party members to full health 24/7, but rather those who only heal what's necessary. If you send out one AoE heal to get the stacks going, leave your party members low, dish out some damage, send out another AoE heal before stacks drop off, etc, you could extend the duration of them all the way to about 25-27 seconds and possibly get some sort of further use out of them. And obviously burn them earlier if you need to. Just an idea.

The removal of the rng is fantastic and how it should have always been. Having said that, I don't think SE knows what they want to do with PI. It lost its rng mechanics, but now its a super weak aoe heal on a class that is overflowing with them. It doesn't make any sense now.

If I had the ability to change it, I would just turn it into stoneskin 2. It already has a 60sec cd and you would need to burn mana on aoe heals to use it. It would also mesh very well with Diving Benison mechanically and thematically. DB is really just Stoneskin, so getting Stoneskin 2 back would make sense. It's not like Whm hasn't already had its tools taken and given back in some form already with SB.

I'll use it now, probably, and I can plan on getting Lilies whenever I want with just a Cure I so I'm not wasting MP/overhealing as much by casting Cure II, but... well... PI is still kind of lame. More heals yay. Great. Can I get something that makes me worth taking once content is on farm and people want to kill the thing as fast as possible? No? Okay.

I won't ever be in trouble when it comes to finding groups to do things with, but I feel like I made a smart choice in having AST as my back-up job all the same.
