White Mage - Skill Acquisition Changes

[Cheremia]

I didn't read much but i do feel sad when i don't have Tetra but have Bene.

But i usually don't need either in those types of dungeons either even if i heavily prefer using Tetra over Cures but what can you do.

For Ast on the other hand, they heavily suffer from "i have no aoe" syndrome for a WHILE and that is what really gets to me.

SCH isn’t much better.
With SCH you technically have AoE, but it requires you to apply two DoTs and Bane, that’s 3 GCD’s to set up an AoE DoT. By that point, everything is half dead and a DoT isn’t the most efficient method you could use.
But at least it has Shadowflare by 50.

You're not wrong but at least they CAN aoe in SOME way. They learn Bane by 30 and even if stuff is half dead when you do both dots and then bane them, it's something. And they learn Miasma II at 50 too... it does damage and dot. So they can aoe pretty early and it feels like something.
Ast on the other hand.... Being in level 50 dungeons and not being able to aoe sucks a lot

And they learn Miasma II at 50 too...

Miasma II is level 46, which means both SCH and WHM (with Holy) get an aoe before level 50 unlike AST which has to wait a bit longer for that Gravity.
