    I mean White Mage likely won't change, because it really hasn't ever drastically changed over the years. It plays exactly the same as it did in 2.0; expecting serious changes for White Mage is just not something that is going to happen, and added complexity will never come for White Mage.

    The reason is twofold really:

    1. White Mage is the entry healer, and it has remained thus since its release in ARR. As it is the only Healer that you can start the experience with, it is exceptionally doubtful they will overhaul the job in its entirety.

    2. White Mage has always been FF14's excuse for changing Healers, and is usually followed by some entirely outlandish statements coming from God knows where. It connects back into point 1, they will not change it.

    Potentially unpopular, or at the least controversial opinion: just because WHM is the "beginner friendly" healer doesn't mean it should stay childproof easy all the way to lv 80. It is because it's so braindead easy that 90% of the bad/lazy healers are WHMs.

    so apparently the only option that doesn't "stress the newbies" is either pressing 1211111111, or do nothing at all.
