Thread: Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

3.) a lot of people are constantly speaking about how whm has a lack of utility. i agree with the idea of whm being a pure healer, but in this case adding a slight boost in attack speed for all players in the party would help whm have a bit more utility. This lets whm healers have a little something more to offer than just healing in end game raids.
4.) we have seen that whm is definitely lacking in the number of skill it has, adding a skill such as this^^ helps that issue.

i feel adding such a skill would be fairly easy, solve many of the issues with whm, and add some strategy/extra utility to whm. Keep in mind this skill itself doesn't take away everything that SE has done with whm so far. It keeps all the mechanics of each skill as they are, and making them more accessible. (although they can still be tweaked and adjusted as well of course)

in terms of lore, themes of growth or grace, (natural or divine) could fit with whm

thank you,

Oh and i like your sig somehow <3

Thank you so much! i'll remember that,

and nice i'm glad you like it ^.^ first person to ever comment on it, in game or out.

Of course, we're all playing for the top-end game. So, from what I've seen, don't roll a white mage since the AST is so superior as to make the WHM undesirable by other players requiring a healer.

On another note; the rule is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." All the hours gone into the "one-of-a-kind" FFXIV system that was just replaced...also figured into paid game time (real money, honey) only to be thrown over the side for some pie-in-the-sky philosophical notion of improvement. This is short-sighted beyond belief. I read all the sweeping generalities of "what we're going to do is..." Unfortunately, the application of these pipe dreams was Epic Fail.

Now, I'm supposed to learn the NEW FFXIV!! (Waytaminnit...this WAS the NEW FFXIV!!!) You've managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory....Try some enlightened self-interest uh...Yoshi is it?

I had really high hopes for the cross role system myself. I still feel like, had they approached it differently, it could have really saved WHM. Instead... it was used to strip WHM even more.

The guy who designed WHM abilities from 60 to 70 should be fired. I cant understand how Yoshi-P accepted this horrendous WHM progress to 70.
