Thread: Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

I was mistaken on the Cure 3. I've never raided on or have been WHM main. Updated my post, sorry about that.

Thanks for clarifying that for me, I'll admit I never really paid attention to the animation when the dots wear off. The effects aligned so well with the cure spells, oh well here goes my wishful thinking. Thanks again.

That's not even considering the other abilities that can utilize the lilies. Lily is actually quite easy to coordinate. The fact is people just can't stand the though they will have to cast a cure. Never mind they have no clue what kind of healing demands will be present.

I repeatedly edited my post, so sorry if you caught it early after I initially posted it.

Anyway, you could arguably use it to spam Assize as much as possible, but building Lilies would still require you avoid using all of your other oGCD skills unless you're spamming Cure consistently between them. If skills used up one Lily it might be more manageable, but as it is right now all Lilies disappear the moment you use anything, and Lilies 1-2 give negligible (4-10%) CD reductions so that you may not even get to use the skill one more time than usual in an entire fight. If the entire mechanic in a fight results in one extra Assize, is it really a good/worthwhile system?

If you recall I specially pointed out that it was a look at the two effects, not a judgement on if I thought the system was worthwhile. But since you asked, with how it was based on the San Fran media tour I didn't like it , but could see potential with some changes. Now we know some whm changes have occurred just not what they all are so I'm reserving judgment.

It can already, timer resets every time they get a stack, so theoretically you can have up to 90 seconds to build stacks before using plenary indulgence. And that's not to say you can't refresh it again once it's at 3 stacks.

Why would they remove stoneskin? There are so many situations during downtime that you can cast stoneskin to save someone with rez sickness. Pre SB content, how are WHMs going to save people with rez sickness from dying to Ultimates? What if there were only 2 whm in the group?

Again, just remove Confession and let PI use lilies instead.

True, but I'm suggesting that the confession stacks last at least a minute.. so they could be refreshed up to 3 minutes before using plenary indulgence. I'd even go so far as to say that the confession stacks last indefinitely, until PI is used. Why should WHM need to worry about confession stacks falling off when AST gets a 900 potency AOE heal and Synastry on demand? Let the confession stacks stay on until a time of the WHM's choosing..
