I would just like for WHM to have a horse in the race, rather than being relegated to "worst healer" status. Not that I'm saying that it is! Just saying that that seems to be the general perception of the job and I don't fault people for thinking so!
To me I think this is the biggest problem for White Mage (the lack of unique niche for itself). Like, when you put aside ‘healing’, there’s nothing left for it whatsoever.

Like, Astrologian has its cards, Scholar has its utility buffs, Sage has its dps and some utility. But once the healing is done White Mage doesn’t really have anything unique or interesting to it in the way the others do besides ‘big damage after 3 heals’, which is already contingent upon you having to heal those 3 different times lol
