Concerns about WHM in Endwalker

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Not a healer main but....if that is an issue...why not simply adding an "energy drain-ish" spell that consumes one lily to get MPs back and deal some damage? (maybe with a 90s CD to prevent people from using it instead of the healing spells all the time)

Also..are WHM main never using medica/medica 2? I think Thin Air should mitigate the MP consumption on those rather than glare...And that's probably how the devs envisioned it when balancing it out.

The current Thin Air has multiple potential usage, but they're mostly used during heavy MP cost windows. One of the most recognized is free double raise, followed by brute forcing against back to back heavy raidwide with Cure IIIs (and maybe Medica II too), and finally pairing it with Lucid Dreaming to regain large amount of MP should the need arise.

WHMs has some useful toolkits to use that's just way more efficient until they have to fall back and use Medica II; it doesn't get too many uses. Regular Medica is one of the worst of all healing spell they have, perhaps close enough to Cure I in term of uselessness. The only time regular Medica get their use is when the WHM is absolutely out of lilies, abilities, MP, and/or Medica II HoT is still ticking its duration, which is fairly unusual to happen.

With the coming of Lilybell, I imagine if this is the 'answer' to their gutted Cure III brute forcing capability, considering the ability is also more powerful against back to back raidwides.

not to mention the thin air + lucid dreaming made dying in progging raids much more recoverable making whm the starting/progg healer friendly then the others which is a huge plus. with that gone ast,his direct competition,is much more friendlier and mp friendly then whm can be with the new thin air change
