Thread: Consolidated White Mage 4.0 Feedback Thread

Party members will no longer be granted a Confession when HP is restored via Cure and Cure II. They will instead be granted a Confession when HP is restored via Medica, Medica II, or Cure III.
The chance of granting party members a Confession has been increased from 20% to 100%.
Confession stacks will now also be granted to the player casting Medica, Medica II, or Cure III.

Sounds about right, definitely an improvement over what we have now.

The duration of the Confession has been reduced from 30 to 10 seconds.
Healing potency based on the number of stacks of Confession has been reduced from 400 for one stack, 500 for two stacks, and 600 for three stacks to 150 for one stack, 300 for two stacks, and 450 for three stacks.
Recast time increased from 15 to 60 seconds.

It's pretty obvious they now intend Plenary to be like a combo-follow-up to your AoE heals. It's just bonus (free) healing on top of your Medica and Medica II casts. You're not meant to spam Medicas to use it.

I'm seriously starting to think with these changes that either:

- No one at SE plays WHM so they have no clue how it plays and no clue what to do with it.
- They outright just want to kill WHM and want all WHM's to go AST and that's why they keep giving us these shitty "fixes".

I know PI is coming off my bar lol what a joke.

I mean like "ok" but what about 4 person content?? You're supposed to spam aoe skills for a single target? Like this seems useful for healing a 8 man group through heavy party hits. And 10 secs isn't the whole point to use it strategically as timed heals? Now it's just ok let's spam aoe heals upon aoe heals. Granted this is quick reaction but this seems way worse. I'm just like what??????? Why was this a solution? And like that's a huge nerf to potency. Seriously why can't it just be upped from 20% to like 70% or higher for cure 1 and 2? 60 secs?? Ugh....

Like bring back single target plz. We don't need healers spamming aoe heals when not necessary isn't this encouraging that?

I'll try it out tomorrow. But this sounds really disappointing...

It's countered by the desire to spam single target heals (Cure1) for Lillies, of course.

One Cure2 cast gets target full HP, so that's 1 Lilly. One Cure1 won't top HP off, so you cast Cure1 again...that's 2 Lillies.

Amidoingitright?

But why do you need more than 10 seconds? They clearly want you to use PI immediately after one or multiple Medicas now, not save them.

But it's not "free whenever"

Confessions only last 10 seconds so it will always require a Medica cast first.


SE, remove the damn timer from confessions.
