I think I can safely say that I rest my case.

Don't duo or solo POTD do you? Thought so. Mobs can be slept for quite a few floors. But it seems.. what would you know about that? Absolutely nothing.

The context of my comment was that the person in question quoted me in saying I thought sleep was good for PotD when it was your comment to show that the poster in question doesn't pay attention to what's going on - not as a means to insult your particular post.

I don't use sleep much but I can definitely see the merit of it in PotD. I'm so used to not using Repose that I forgot PotD actually makes quite a few exceptions for thanks for reminding me that, lol.

I'm very happy with the changes to Cure 1 and Plenary Indulgence in the latest patch. I think the last rough spot on WHM is Secret of the Lily II. A percentage of cure crits is so small as to be invisible and I don't like having another job whose mechanics push them to specifically stack crit to power a job feature.

I'd love it if Secret of the Lily II's cooldown reduction was based off HoT ticks, like an inverse of BLM's Thundercloud; like, maybe it'd be a 10% chance per Regen tick an a 3% chance per Medica II tick (the numbers could be massaged up and down to balance it, and maybe it'd only read a maximum of four MII ticks each interval in order to make sure that the feature isn't stronger in 8man duties than 4man duties).

I was surprised that they didn't do anything with Secret of the Lily II on 4.05. However, I think White Mage is on a very good spot right now, I think buffing it would make it somewhat overpowered...

Still funny that WHM gets no love this patch. Again ^

Replace stone skin for Divine Benison is fully retard decision. I can´t shield to my MT pretty times we need because I don't have lilies, that I just spent on Assize or Tetra. Not even I look lilies more, its pretty invisible for me now.

I don't think WHM needs huge buffs, but I hope they realise that no one's really jazzed about having some stupid flowers instead of something flashy and fun. I mean, CDR is powerful. But it's invisible power- we can't tell whether Assize is coming off CD early because of lilies or the trait or both, we just know if we can use it or not. And PI is still really crappy to use. Yes I've done savage, I've been to enrage on V3 a few times with my static. I still hardly use it and when I do, it's always lame. Like oh heck I don't have literally any of my other spells and I need something now, guess I'll use it. Which is rare. Either let the stacks last longer or give them more oomph if you're going to saddle us with this for the long haul, please?

WHM is fine. But I won't rest until SE acknowledges that lilies are lame from a player perspective and that PI is a mistake.
