Thread: Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

There needs to be better DPS options for WHM, Stone spam, and Aero resetting looks to be the plan for 5.0. White Mage's #1 priority should NOT be damage but it's completely unfair to relegate us to this place where we can't even come close to the DPS of SCH and AST. There's no way that there is enough development time to address all the concerns the community is having, but we've been discussing the problems with the job for more than 2 years. These changes will make White Mage players at 70 a downright detriment to the raid.

Stone = Malefic = Boil
Aero = Combust = Boil
Aero 3 = X = X (i think SCHs lost their comparable, not 100% sure whats up with Miasma 2)
Holy = Gravity = X

Everything else is OGCD not spammable, you guys probably overtook SCH as the best DPS healer, hell AST might have pulled ahead of them as well, and thats sad cause our personal DPS was bad. Also I think SCH got the short end of the stick on OGCD DMG as well now. Tho you are no longer the only one who can heal and damage in one click (technically still true Star bombing may req 2 clicks but not the point). But you are definitely the best equipped to spam DPS given you have the only decidedly native personal DPS buff out of the healers, as Thin Air can be used solely on DPS if one wishes.

the AST one? that's "Lord of Crowns" The Minor Arcana Direct DMG Card.

I thought of a concept that could have been cool, and given the White mage a little more identity.

What if when activated the lilys could be placed on the field underneath you and in turn could be either picked up by party members for self healing or activated (while on the field) to do something else? I just feel like we should visually see more from the white mage, plus this would make them the only mage that could potentially heal after death, that sound pretty pure to me. Of course I know something like this wouldn't be implemented anytime soon considering the time. but I think the concept would have been pretty cool, imagine how detailed you could get with that. Timing when to place them, where to place them, could they aoe? how long do they last, what else could they do?

I mean if we wanna use lilies, then lets show em off!

Interesting start, put some more time into it and come back with it.

That looks like Pulse of Life to me, complete with the kneel we do when we set it off

4:17 is the new "draw all" ability that they get.

But I assume you're talking about WHM, which is at 4:21, and that's their limit break.
