White Mage is falling behind while Astro keeps getting buffs

[number473]

I am actually really happy with the changes that they have made to AST over the last few patches, including this one. For context, I am a WHM player and I pretty much never play AST, but these changes make a lot of sense to me.

The thing is, there have been numerous buffs to SCH and AST over the expansion so far, including quality of life buffs as well as straight potency buffs. At the same time the dev team does not even acknowledge that lilies are basically a useless system and most of WHM's strengths only really make a noticeable difference in the very hardest content in the game.

Where's my "quality of life" YOSHIDAAAAAAAAAAA!?

I won’t disagree that Lilies are completely worthless, but I think if they were going to overhaul that system, they’ll probably wait until 5.0 to do so. They should, because it’s a stupid system, but I don’t think it’s something you would see in a patch cycle.

...but I don’t think it’s something you would see in a patch cycle.

I also don't think they will change it before the expansion. But consider that they fixed the cooldown passives of both SCH and AST since the expansion launched and didn't do anything to WHM's which is even more useless (I'm referring to lily 2 at 68).
