WHM wishlist for 5.0

[Sebazy]

Go back a few years and I'd have considered the above as little more than a disenfranchised troll post made in anger. It's depressing that now I'm resigned to agreeing 100%. Yoshida's quote from Tokyo suggesting that WHM will be made much easy to play seals it for me.

What I wish for:
- Lily rework
- some buffing utility. Direct Hit buff was just named in a Discord I'm on, and I must say, I really like the idea. It would be something new and unique.

What I fear we will get:
- WHM being shit again.

My base for thinking that:
"WHM will be made much easy"
Yeah. Because it was super-duper hard to play so far, right?/s

My hope for that is this: get mobility and less enmity generation than current state. Job gauge isn't clunky in any way.... which I guess we have in its current state when with a slow pull tank you can clear dungeons without even a single lily being generated.

I can do that with a fast pulling tank as well tbh xD
Lilies are currently about as needed as an appendix tbh. Which is why I really want to see them overhauled to become something nice.

I have too with well geared fast pulling tanks that use their CD's, but those I find to be rare in dungeons. I simply meant lillies isn't in the way as it is for white mages, more that I don't want a job mechanic that is in the way like say the heat gauge is for mch to focus on as well as healing.

As a person who has NEVER played WHM, it seems kind of weird that the elemental attributes associated with WHM were Air/Earth/ and for a single skill Water. Wouldn't it be better if they doubled down on a solid damage rotation that played off those elements? If WHM is going to be the pure healer (ugh) they should at least have an interesting and high output DMG rotation. The 2c of a person who's never played a healer!

Our entire healing kit seems to be water-based; just look at the icons for the Cure-series of spells as well as Regen.
Also, that's more or less what they tried to do; it's just that the damage output is by far not tuned high enough, and we also don't have the mobility SCH and AST have, which leaves our damage lacking in almost all raid encounters compared to the other two...
