Thread: 2.1 and us

I feel as a WHM, it is only fair that I get access to Quelling Strikes, Raging Strikes, and most importantly, Blizzard.

No worries, Tylo. I wasn't trying to be aggressive, just honestly curious if you had a different opinion on what healers were missing that made you think we were being ignored.

Menae, I don't know about you, but I'd take Internal Release as SCH or WHM long before I take Raging/Quelling Strikes. :P

Nobody mentioned Presence of Mind? That could be so much better but its not.. First job skill you get as a WHM and it's useless. I think it should do something like no cast time on cure spells for 10 seconds, or cure spells while under PoM cost no MP. Something along those lines if it's only going to last 10 seconds with a 5 min cooldown.

PoM is probably the best throughput cooldown we have. I agree that I wish it lasted a little longer, but it's nowhere near useless.

Haha.. It has been for my entire WHM journey. Maybe I just don't realize it because it didn't have much effect at lv30. It doesn't seem worth giving up one of my precious hotbar slots. (PS3 player so very limited slots)

White Mage should get blizzard? What the?
So you want to get instant MP refresh with no side effects? We can just ask SE to give us all ilvl90 gear for all classes by moogle mail at next login.
I play on PS3 and I never used seriously Presence of Mind or Cure III.
PoM would be worth a hotbar slot if it granted double the spell speed, considering it's just for a few seconds, and Cure III is just useless, and increasing its radius would make it just overpower. And we already have Holy, enough OP for WHM.

Exactly, already have Medica I & II taking up slots, why use Cure 3 when nobody pays attention to my little { Gather for Group Heal } macro anyways.

There are really few times you CAN heal the party with Cure III, but you CAN, it's never necessary:
- During second phase in Ifrit HM, when people stack on the boss's ass and you can heal the shit out of your cane;
- Chimera/Dhorme Chimera, when people stack on the boss's flank, you heal everyone but the tank;
- At Geocrush, I actually use Cure III when solo healing in order not to need 2 Medica casts, but it's not really needed.

Well, three things.

1) Blizzard isn't instant. It has a cast time;
2) It has side effects. You lose a GCD to get it going and have to find a safe place to refresh or your tank will splat; And finally...
3) I WAS BEING SARCASTIC. I must have wandered into the Zelda forums what with all the Poe's law in here.
