Getting WHM on Par

[Ghishlain]

Can whm have Sublimation back pls?

Except Sublimation was a SCH ability in XI ^^;........ I don't think SCH needs even MORE MP regeneration xD

With that being said, I do agree that I'm also hoping that the more mandatory cross classes will be put into said role pool and give WHMs a few more tools to play with afterwards.

True, but it was a whm one in 1.2X. It also was a bit different than in XI, it did not consume HP just built a stored pool of MP equal to a percentage of your HP. Really I'd just like whm to get something to set is apart from the other healers besides its current gimmick of spell potency vs mana cost. Actually giving them a full range of enfeebles that work on bosses for mitigation could be another route although I have no idea how that would work out balance-wise.

Well, that's fascinating @_@ Can't find anything about that when Googling for Sublimation with the FFXIV tag so maybe it was called something else?

It would be neat if they took Afflatus Solace and Afflatus Misery from XI and gave it to the current WHM. For Afflatus Solace there would definitely need to be some modifications because Cureskin would be ridiculously broken if you consider the values and the way XIV is - I would be thinking more of the more you heal, the more your next Holy would damage for. It would probably be something different than Holy though since it's an AoE in this game. Could just be the next damage spell cast gets a damage bonus based on healing done.

Misery could just make the WHM sac some HP to get a potency bonus on their damage spells.

... man everything I think up for WHM eventually revolves around "MORE DEEEEEEEPS" >>; *Goes back to the drawing board*

Yeah looking back over it I'd misremembered a bit, it was "Blissful Mind" and it worked exactly like XI's Sublimation. Giving whm more MP recovery would be a quick fix for the job, although I would love something like Solace/Misery or enfeebling magic instead to give a different dynamic. In FFXIV for me whm kinda peeked in 1.2X, and has been getting progressively more dull since 2.0. The new 3.0 actions were a step in the right direction but playing whm atm is still less fun for me than SCH or AST. Which is sad because I have a lot of love for White Mage in Final Fantasy as a whole, and I really want to enjoy it in XIV.
