White Mage's 6.1 changes fail to address a core issue I have with the job.

[Semirhage]

White Mage heals seem to be a majority GCD because that's the flavor of the job, it's heavily reliant on GCD but has higher potencies to compensate. Honestly, I wouldn't want them to be OGCD, it just feels nice the way it is.

They're not stronger to compensate; the other three healers can fluidly cast damage and healing spells at the same time, while WHM has to halt dealing damage to heal, and sooner than they do, for spells that are the same potency and cost more MP.

AND whm doesnt get neat secondary effects on their heals while the other healers do.

The ONLY thing whm has is 20 yalm range on Medica 2, otherwise, everything is way more expensive on whm than on other healers.
That is exactly the reason whm sucks at mp.
Because it HAS to heal with GCD, which cost mp. And these cost more MP than others for same effect or less of an effect than the others do.

Right there is where a lot of misconception comes from. Whm is "fine" because it has THE BIG HEALS and NOTHING else but BIG heals.
But in reality, whm doesnt have THE big heals. Cure 3? Okay.... it's still garbage even with more range. Still costs way too much and whm can do it in other way without using mp.
Whm cant do what other healers can't. Except maybe panic heal, which Sage and Sch struggle with "a bit". Just a tiny bit tho.
