Thread: WHM 4.0

Give me the following (all referenced from FFXI's version of WHM):

Devotion:
Basically, it sacrifices your HP to restore a target's MP.

Haste:
Increasing speed of actions.

Martyr:
Sacrifice your HP to heal a party member for double the amount.

And I'll snowball that.

Give WHM two stances that can't be swapped in combat (unless they decide to allow AST to change sects, that is):

Afflatus Solace

Increases the potency of your Cure spells and Regen, while lowering enmity generation. Every time you use a spell from the Medica family while under Afflatus Solace, you get a stack of Solace. Maximum of one stack.

Afflatus Misery

Increases the potency of your Stone spells and Holy, and allows the use of Stoneskin II in combat with half of the potency (5% of the target's max HP). Every time you lose HP while under Afflatus Misery, you get a stack of Misery. Maximum of one stack.
This would have synergy with devotion and martyr.

Then we could have a third skill that would burn the stacks to do special things, with a name like Prayer:

- Burning Solace would transform Regen into Regen II, which is an AoE version of Regen. Regen II can stack with Regen and Medica II's HoTs;
- Burning Misery would transform Stoneskin and Stoneskin II into Graniteskin and Graniteskin II, which will put a shield equivalent to 18%/9% of the target's HP.

Anyway, this is an idea to either strength the healing toolkit of the WHM as a main healer or give them shielding options as an off-healer.

Astra: For those who don't know what this is, it provides protection from 1 debuff. This would obviously only work on debuffs that could be esuna'd. Whm needs some utility outside of juicy heals. I would make this aoe and give it the range of cure III.

Are things I don’t expect they will give to WHM. They seem more like something AST would get, because of the whole time manipulation thing in ASTs lore.

What would I want? Better job specific cosmetics for male character. I'm tired of seeing nun outfits and fluffy thy boots. lol I want a little bit of variety. Like in FFX11, I'd occasionally put on carapace armor just to look like a badass melee. Something like that would be good. I wouldn't even care if it gave me -100mind per piece. <3 glamour.

Oh and fire whomever was in charge of the clothing theme. I get it SoE, you like cloaks/dresses. Give us more variety please. :3

Real talk, what we'll get:
-Stone 4: Higher potency stone that makes your previous stone irrelevant
-Holy 2: Original unnerfed Holy with slightly higher potency and no stun
-Faster raise: Raise is now 0.5 sec quicker

Since AST came out, I wish WHM could have some support skill. Their Healing kit is ok, now I wanna be more useful in a raid...
