Endwalker White Mage has Issues

[LuciaMirain]

Called it in another thread.

They really do think it’s working as intended.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…. /cry

It is working though. Just not fun to play for anyone who wants to optimize. WHM has lost its "we have big deeps and infinite mp and can spam big heals for days". But for casual players WHM is completely fine and SE always goes for the casual players. It is why the game has been dumbed down with every expansion.

I had a WHM that died to the last boss of the Dead Ends that got revived by the SMN and they pretty much struggled to heal from that point on because they had no MP. No lilies, most of their oGCDs were probably on CD, with only Lilybell being seen immediately following the death and that was fundamentally useless for 15 seconds. It was just a bad time really and this was just a dungeon run.

I think WHM is just god awful this expansion even from a casual perspective.

It is true. But then again who dies in dungeons. :P All I have seen from casual healers is basically that WHM is FINE as it is. Even comments about how thin air is BETTER NOW because I GET TWO FREE RAISES. Oh , sweet summer child. You didn't NEED two free raises when thin air was as it was before. You could chainraise and be fit for glarespam anyway. Oh....and you wouldnt have the clunkyness that comes with having to press an extra button to raise for "free".
I think WHM is really bad and in dire need of love. But I am not holding my breath for the devs to realise it, since they didnt even lower the costs of heals in this tiny patch where they decided that WAR needed more dps.....They couldve easily lowered WHM mp costs. They didn't so they think it is working as intended because the casual majority keeps shouting it is "fine as it is" and "I never run out of mp" "I just use thin air for my medica 2s".
