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

I have some thoughts on addressing the overhealing issue as well as the downtime issue. What if we did something along the lines of this:

- Afflatus Propagation: 60 Potency offensive GCD spell with a radius of 6 yalms that applies Dia to all targets. 60 Second cooldown. Consumes 1 Lily & Nourishes the Blood Lily. Has 2 Charges
- Afflatus Purgation: 465 Potency Line AoE offensive GCD spell that deals 50% less damage to targets after the first. 120 Second cooldown. Consumes 1 Lily & Nourishes the Blood Lily.
- Efflorescence: OGCD Buff that generates 1 Lily and causes your next GCD heal to apply Regen to any/all allies. 90 Second cooldown.
- Germinate: GCD Spell that Nourishes the Blood Lily. Does not consume a Lily. Has a 3 second recast time, delaying the GCD slightly.

Afflatus Propagation does not stack with Dia as it applies Dia, therefore it can be used instead of Dia when you want to consume a Lily or can be used for AoE Dia.

Afflatus Purgation acts as an enhancement to burst damage during buff windows since you also nourish a blood lily from it.

Efflorescence gives you a way to ensure you have lilies when you need them for healing.

Germinate is a DPS loss, but can be used to get your Misery ready during downtime.

Thoughts on something like that?

The DPS Neutral Misery looks like it was to address an issue where it was a DPS loss to use their lilies for healing. Adding in lily spenders that do damage but do no healing seems like it would bring us right back to the same spot. If you can do damage and get a blood lily, a section of the players would take that option every time even if it's detrimental to the team and forces the other healer to pick up the slack.
