I agree in that the WHMs skill is pretty solid, but I do find going onto CNJ for nuking far more substantial. The loss of Regen does hurt, but gaining Sanguine Rite, Thunder, Fire, Fira, Resonance etc. makes it, in my opinion, more viable for nuking rather than White Mage. Especially considering the 30 and 20 second recast timer Stonera and Aerora have.

Oh, calling me a noob? Someone who actively plays as a WHM and knows how to operate it? Dear oh dear, you're just asking for a real PvP now.

How about researching exactly how a WHM performs with the armoury and job system? About how the abilities actually work? About the elements of each attack spell we have? About how stats affect the abilities we have? About abilities we can get from OTHER DISCIPLINES? About the exact role a WHM has in a party in FFXIV?

You comment on Holy consuming all MP, leaving us as dog meat. Well, honey-buns, if you know that they inflict BIND, you have a decent chance of survival by running away. Oh, unless you're dumb enough to stay still and go "OMG I'M GONNA DIE WAHWAHWAH" instead of trying to loss agro.

Regen is almost about instant as can get. 2 second cast timer, darling? If you can't handle even two seconds of casting, I don't see you liking the rest of White Mage, because aside from Benediction and Holy, all other abilities have longer or equal cast times.

You want fancy WS? Sorry, I don't want fancy, I want USEFUL. Which the WHM skill set is. And unless I'm very very mistaken, we get access to Shield Bash. TP skill? Tick. Stun? Oh yea, tick.

Primal weapons are not crap for DD WHM style. You wanted more playability on WHM, yet you ignore the fact that the weapons themselves give WHM an additional flavour of attacks? If you are on about every WHM being the same, then every PLD is the same, every DRG is the same, every BLM is the same, every BRD is the same, every MNK is the same...there's only one set of gear that is the best for a 'specialised' job.

No comment on the 'unable to cast while moving' issue. Beaten to death throughout the whole forums, with even a very very length explanation from our dear Yoshi-P. And if your tank is stupid enough to run ahead while in red HP, no buffs, no regen, and without the WHM ready, your tank deserves to die.

I don't even understand your issue with PvP. PvP interrupt spells? My dear, tell that to BLM, which has 0 defending skills aside from Sanguine Rite. White Mage get their own Protect and Stoneskin (30 second recast, compared to Sanguine Rite, 60 second recast). White Mage have access to Rampart, Featherfoot and Sentinel. White Mage have access to Repose with NO RECAST TIMER. White Mage have access to Stonera for HEAVY TO SLOW YOUR OPPONENTS. White Mage have access to AERO WHICH IS A DoT EFFECT. White Mage have effect to HOLY WHICH CAN BIND YOUR OPPONENT. White Mage have SECOND WIND FOR INSTANT HP REGAIN. Totally useless in PvP? Think again. Also, you are an idiot if you don't switch to classes for PvP, what with the locked traits of jobs compared to the more-expansive armoury system.

Maces? Leave my traditional WHMs alone with their rods, staves, canes and 'short sticks' as you so accurately typed in your topic name.

Oh, and judging by the rest of your posts, you really have no sense of balance between classes, jobs and their abilities do you? You just want to breeze through everything and have everything OPed. Nice. Go back to whatever kindergarten-game you play that lets you do that.

Now excuse my manners, which apparently you have no problem in discarding when you choose to verbally abuse others.
