3 decent garduda weps

I see! We I guess SE has other plans for cnj. From what I can tell they have decided that primal weapons will be dd weapons. That is a great dd backup heal weapon though, if you're not main healing you get wind dmg buffs + spell pwn. Heal pot can be ehhh cuz you're not main healing anyways lol. I see your point though, it just seems SE is putting heal pot hax weapon in other places outside of primals.

ill direct this to my reply to chardizard.

Well like I said I feel your pain, so to speak, but I think SE just decided to split it as

DD for primals
Heal pot for other stuff (dungeons?)

From what I can tell that seems to be the rationale. Now if and when we get a primal thats more conducive to healing/support..we might see what you're looking for. Just as it stands, primals are offensive beasts. From a lore point of view, it makes no sense for any of them to carry something like heal potency...unless that primal was something like carbuncle. In FFXIV, though, the primals are elementals, thus offensive, thus heal pot on a primal weapon just doesn't make any sense due to that. Primals dont heal they, they fight it out and destroy.

Thats the only theory I have as to the separation.

Ya i can grasp that. but in lore through ff history hasnt garuda had the ability to heal herself? even if not in this game im hoping since healing is considered to be the "water" element in ffxiv; that if leviathan primal comes out ill finaly see a good whm wep that looks hawt and has healing based effects to booost healing maybe mp regen and some - enmity. hp/mp something of that nature.

Actually... 'White wind' 'Healing wind' 'Whispering Wind' in the case of FFXI Garuda was most famous for her Aerial Armor (Blink/shadow buff) and her Hastega...

I think a reason why a few of us Whm's are up in arms is because we had an expectation that we would finally have a primal WHM (not cnj) weapon. But it seems that's not the plan ^^
