Thread: Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

I really like all three of those ideas. The only other ideas I like in the way of "utility" are more combined healing and damage abilities like Assize.

It was a pleasant surprise to hear of Yoshi-san's comments regarding White Mage. Cure II having a 100% chance to proc a lily is interesting as is the comment that the job is still under development. Square Enix is listening to our concerns. Being that it's the 5th, I hope we get some more information on what has changed since the last build in April.

Is anyone going to accept that CDR makes WHMs OGCD more reliably available at any point here? Where SCHs and ASTs get all that mitigation and offense utilities WHMs get emergency healing options. The simplicity of WHM comes from its lack of required multitasks, its pretty heal or dps. PLD is the same way, I need more defense for this, I have a button for it, and this button can pretty much be used whenever I need it. I'm pretty sure every AST has sat on AOE Balance for 45-90s or more just to be sure its up for that burst phase in some fights, or went phishing during all the trash to make sure it was up. Pretty soon SCHs will get to enjoy sitting on that juicy CD for the same reason.

Lilies vs Spear for the god knows how manyth time... A lily procs, you need to use a CD you get to use it, a Spear is drawn, you need to use a CD but oh know, Royal Road AOE is up, Redraw hope for something I wont be shamed for using, op got Spire, click off over reapply over royal road for 0 gain, wait 30s to try again. When you get a button to throw away lilies for 100% no gain aside from starting the CD again for potentially no gain again, well talk. For all that is righteous and decent stop making it seem like we always have the card we want and can use it on the spot. Hell we got a new button to LITERALLY throw away the current card, wouldve killed to get Royal Road to lose its overwrite ability and gain an opt to use 2nd click. After that, yep you could almost argue the reliability of cards. Also lilies doesn't have a 31-62s internal CD to really put it on the same field ad AST cards, or the 1/6-1/3 type you can actually use atm.

Also, I think you'll be hard pressed to find an AST here whos countering your attacks that believes we'll ever play with Earthly Star as it was shown in the Media Event. Its potency will probably go down, its cooldown will almost definitely start AFTER it blows up, and that just the obvious stuff. I also read the pure range on it was rediculous, heard something like 30y somewhere if that was true, that size likely getting halved. But still I think were excited for star bombing things, just smaller bombs, but still pretty explosions.

They removed Stoneskin because they wanted to regurgitate it back to us as a new post-60 skill that costs Lilies, evidently.
