Thread: Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

Getting a 10% reduction to Assize's recast would mean you get to use it more often than Aetherflow (arguably - since they have Quicken Aetherflow but even that's a low proc chance).

I have no idea how the fights will be designed but at a lark the MP kit for WHM is shaping up to the best of the three healers if current tooltips are to remain. Time will tell if that remains true or not.

Not really. I only blow Assize on cooldown now because I'm overgeared and never need it for healing anyway. With Omega prog, you will want to keep Assize for a quick aoe heal, meaning any cooldown reduction becomes meaningless if you've already planned ahead you want Assize up for a certain mechanic. That's the fundamental issue with a lot of these changes. The devs seem to think we play reactionary when we're playing preemptively.

Lot of us that are new are using Cure 2 like crazy because we don't have the spell speed and it kills our mana hardcore.

I can't tell you how infrequently I cast Cure II. It's almost nil. Regen, Medica/II, Cure (when needed), all yes. Cure II, hardly.

You know who I see spamming Cure II? New Whm's and those whose panic. That's who.

Spell speed is a non-issue. Cure II spam without cause is generally due to a lack of familiarity with the Job and/or the content.

That's not intended to be a criticism, by the way. Everyone starts out new.

Asking for people to care about anything other than damage might be asking for a tad much than is reasonable.

Oh you mean what SE is requesting we do to generate lillies? Cast Cure for a 20% proc or Cure II for 100%. Since as of right now these are the ONLY ways to generate lillies, you better bet your ass there will be tons of overhealing and hate pulling. Oh look, someone died. No more Stoneskin so you better get those lillies fast. Cure 2 x 3. Major incoming damage one the tank. Cure 2 x 3 again.

I'm not going to pull the "you're not even 60 Whm" but if you don't think this system is severely flawed, you're a fool.

Don't forget! Thin Air + Presence of Mind + I AM NOW THE HOLY BOMB!...and now Assize (both DPS and HEAL Aggro).

just going tocomment this and point out that...there will be MORE aggro than ever done by WHMs. We're going to be some of the Squishiest tanks in the world.
