It's sad to see one of the most iconic jobs in final fantasy not have anything from it's past games that made them unique or anything in FFXIV that is unique.
exactly ,like every final fantasy game had the healer jobs be a must in parties with a variety of spells and skills.
whm iconic defensive spells : shell, protect, reflect actually were life saving spells even when he was not healing he actually tribute the party by casting his defensive buffs to help survive and even save from death his party.
he had over abundant selection of healing spells such as auto-life, cure, cura, curaga, esuna, dispel, regen and only near the end of the game at the higher level would he unlock one of the most destructive spells in existence : "holy" but until that even without said spell white mage was actually a vital member in a party and that is only 1 of the healers examples.

however white mage in ff14 is basically a shell of an iconic job, made to only be mocked by the dev team really and its not just him its the entire healer role in general.
you have an amazing lore for each healer and you expect the job would have a kit to reflect said lore and show its major theme while paying tribute to the franchise but how can you think those healer kits are actually expressing said stuff and keep the talk about "healers are fine, healers are ok" when they are clearly not and to make matters worse only keep getting worse and worse from negligence from the devs.

nothing in the spells in EW actually has a solid thought given to them that say: "hmmm, i can see the job casting that spell". examine each spell individually and you will see that they are basically been thrown, just to say "here ,you exist so we gave u scrap ,enjoy" and the devs actually expect us to buy that pathetic excuse.
sorry but i don't buy it and if they actually played one of the healers job they would actually know how transparent their lack of caring is shown by actually saying those are your changes.
