Thread: Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

yea whm is pretty much screwed from lookin at this stuff

Did anyone notice weapon skills and autoattacks in Presence of Mind? Have those always been mentioned? Are we supposed to melee now? lol

You build the Lilies with Cure and Cure 2. When you use a skill the lilies effect it lowers the recast timer of the ability used depending on the amount of lilies you have built up and consumes the lilies. Pretty straight forward. A lot of the new WHM mechanics require WHM to be casting heal a lot to benefit from them.

You build up lilies. You use a skill, and then lilies are used and shortens the cooldown (recast timer) for that skill only. Tetra, for example, goes from 60s to 48s recast. So the next Tetra can be fired in 48 seconds. Get more lilies, use another skill, reduce the recast timer on that skill. It only affects the next skill you use, no other skills are affected.

That's how I understood it.

You literally need to be spamming cure and cure 2 to benefit from a lot of the new skills and mechanics. The lvl 70 heal is dependent on stacks of confession that only cure or cure 2 can put on allies.

All hope isn't lost yet; this new content may demand more healing GCD's that's NOT AT ALL A BAD THING FOR HEALERS IN GENERAL. Esp those that want to feel more like a HEALER ROLE (classical understanding). LET'S PRAY............ something like this is the case......b/c it does look a bit gloomy (from current content lenses).

I agree; if this new content doesn't require a ton of Cure spam, WHMs aren't going to get a lot of use out of their toys.

I enjoy healing-intensive content that is actually engaging, but what concerns me is that, historically speaking, Cure spam has been the hallmark of the bad WHM who doesn't know how to use their other tools correctly to save GCDs and be more efficient. There had better be something actually worth Curing if WHM is going to be actively encouraged to play like this.

BUT, the critical thing is, the RADIUS of this spell is a whooping 30 yalms.

TLDR: Everytime you cast Cure/II, you have a 20% chance of healing everybody for 400 potency.

That's hell alot of healing, but of course, if the game does not demand it, its still useless V_V.

It's 0y range though. Won't that mean it'll be centered on us, and not our current target, like all other spells with 0y range (Holy, Medica, Media II etc.)? Kind of sounds like we'll just use the Confession stacks to boost the potency.
