Large shell apparently does healing or increases healing?

Holy 2 heals allies and damages enemies.

Stone 3 and Aero 3 confirmed. AoE + DoTs

Magic protection from Protect being added to other classes, apparently.

RIP in peace White Mage

RIP protshell.

We better get something GOOD outta this
We also get an ability that transmutes some damage we do into healing. Guys I think they want us to do damage? I donno? Maybe doing damage is also part of the healing role?

Well, WHM is also getting lustrate. Although it remains to be seen how the WHM version will work exactly.

Healers are so god damn dramatic. "Here's all these cool new things!" THEY'VE KILLED THE HEALER GAME, RIP WHM AND SCH

RIP in peace White Mage

I'm leaning towards RIP Scholar myself, with the barrier stance with potential buffing ability astrologian gets. I think they mentioned haste?

Based on what they've presented so far, it looks like White Mages's forte will still be the main healer and Scholar's as supportive healers. Whatever is missing astrologian can fit in either role, apparently. A lot of information is still not out there, though.

Well, Asylum does sound cool, but I do hope it won't end up being a stationary Medica II. I feel that White Mages are kind of hard to add new healing spells to, considering how well we cover most situations with our current toolkit. :/

Really sad how much they glossed over stuff for time Was hoping for more clarification on AST, most of what they said was stuff we already knew but with a slight bit more clarification on it :/

I really don't know how I feel about sacking my fairy.... Though the regen field for WHM seems darned awesome. Mad about Proshell trait too..... IMO that was one of the reasons WHM was awesome. WHM brought the more passive mitigation in protect and sch brought more active mitigation in buffs.

The buffs for AST being random is what will keep them from being ridiculously OP, unreliable to pull out the buff you need at the right time probably.

It sounded like this was done in consideration of AST, who will also be getting proshell. So, AST+SCH won't miss out.

But on the positive side, I'm really happy about the Lustrate-equivalent WHM will be getting. It will really help the job emergency heal better, or combine with a GCD heal for even more awesome burst potential.

We gotta get another trait, so maybe it'll be dope as hell.
