WHM downtime thoughts

[Saefinn]

I suspect there's a reason why they removed elemental skills from whm. So I doubt the elemental theme is coming back, ever.
If you really want some elemental skills, please look forward to the new healer in 6.0

Which I think is daft. It'd be like Thunder, Blizzard and Fire spells all being replaced with darkness-based spells. Whilst WHM going more holy is appropriate for WHM in other FF titles, they've essentially established them differently in FFXIV where BLM and WHM are polar and how "light" and "dark" have their own spectrum of elements. Meaning a mix of light/dark and elemental magic is thematic to both jobs. Dia &Glare if anything should have been additional spells not upgrades.

It'd be funny if they gave us darkness spells again as a sort of balance analogy and then we just end up being 1.0 THM. Bring me my cone heals and blood price please.
