I should probably enjoy this game while I still can....

Who's really moaning about WHM though? Of the 3 jobs it's clearly come out the best at least as far as early progression goes.

Don't get me wrong, I miss Aero III but and if I had a genuine gripe, taking DS/Largesse from us and repackaging it as our 80 ability is a bit tightfisted.

I'll agree that it should be the best iteration of WHM yet, however there's definite room for improvement which hopefully will come down the line.

I mean, I'm moaning about it. The only reason WHM came off relatively better than the other two is because WHM had the least to lose - it was already braindead boring outside of its one niche (i.e., early progression). After we got screwed at SB launch with an utterly worthless Job gauge / mechanic, we waited two years for imitation Aetherflow, discount Indom, and zombified Divine Seal. In exchange we lost a quarter (lol) of our damaging abilities. As it is, White Mage has just 4 oGCDs with a cooldown of 60s or less - Scholar has 10. There's nothing left of White Mage for them to ruin. They should have addressed that, instead of completely destroying the defining characteristics of AST and SCH.

Alas, it seems everyone here has developed learned helplessness, so we'll probably see some things to patch up SCH and AST, and WHM will spend another expac being the queen of leveling dungeons.
