Thread: Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

I don't know, becoming competitive with second place because they got kneecapped doesn't really fill me with pride for my job. I'd much rather everything was equal rather than WHM and SCH fighting over who's least bad.

Stone (1-2-3-4)

Fluid Aura

Presence of Mind
Regen
Cure III
Holy
Medica II
Benediction
Asylum
Assize
Tetragrammaton
Thin Air
Divine Benison
Plenary Indulgence

Only 20 freaking abilities only 20!!!

Now compare to AST

Malefic (1-2-3)
Benefic
Combust (1-2)
Lightspeed
Helios
Ascend
Essential Dignity
Benefic II
Draw (Undraw)
Diurnal Aspect
Aspected Benefic/Nocturnal Sect
Royal Road
Spread
Aspected Helios
Redraw
Synastry
Gravity
Time Dilation
Collective Unconscious
Celestial Opposition
Earthly Star
Minor Arcana
Sleeve Draw

AST - 23 (without counting the effects of each card)
WHM - 20 (with no buffs to your allies)

They'd be even if SE didn't just get rid of the Stoneskins and Divine Seal from us. *coughcough* Despite all of that you may as well subtract another two because no one uses Fluid Aura and Repose in PvE. >_>

Agreed. The thought is tempting me as well. Love Thin Air but not crazy about everything else and I've been a WHM since 2.3. All 3 healers are still in the same position as 3.5 now. WHM is still an inferior AST, SCH has had their fairy heals and DPS nerfed but they still have more utility and mitigation, and AST is still overpowered even more so now. Their way of balancing everything is hilarious.

I mean if the only redeeming balance against AST vs WHM is that WHM has 20% more DPS and better MP consumption than AST I'm still taking AST.

Better mp consumption than AST is debatable, since AST can stash Ewer card and even get more Ewer cards while having one stashed. Not to mention extend duration of all MP regens + different potencies and durations. Id say they almost even.

What the hell is SE thinking?

It is like they are trying to flop.
