It seems like we can consume those flowers to put up a shield. But really that seems minor.

That doesn't really help the class much when every other healer can dish out shields much more freely and are able to buff etc. on top of that, though... it just closes the gap a tiny little bit.
And know what? The first SCH/AST player already told me "I hope the shield is for all healers!"
Cannot have anything nice for ourselves as WHM no matter how tiny, right...

WHM won't get much use out of utility everyone else has as well, sadly, because if someone else can do the same, it still won't incite anyone to pick WHM over them.

If the flowers will act like a reverse-Aetherflow, and if SE gives us some cool actions that generate and consume them, it could be pretty interesting. I'm cautiously optimistic that the flowers will be more than just a shield.

Now that Stone IV animation though, am I going to be twirling and spinning all expansion?

Maybe holy-based attacks considering we're white mages who use white magic? I'd even take water-based attacks at this point. Just no more thunking rocks, please.

I'm pretty disappointed that the other classes are getting revamps, overhauls, increased utility and stylish new abilities and it looks like we're getting... Stone IV and more of the same overhealing no one needs past initial patch releases.

I just hope we don't end up the new 3.0 PLD.

One holy attack, and it's AOE. I'd like something single target that's more in line with the white magic part of WHM that doesn't hurt my ears.
