So I was once upon a time a WHM main, then switched to tanking (I had gotten dismayed by utility like others, but this isn't about that) - and after watching the ability video, WHM has me positively intreagued; so much so that I'm prepping it's gear for stormblood.

While it's easy to panic and focus on the potential disappearance of Stoneskin, and the underwhelming translation of "still pure healing", we did see something almost ENTIRELY unique when it came to WHM - the Lily Battle Guage (BG).

Most of the BGs we saw were fancy depictions of things classes already have, but the lilies are an entirely new battle mechanic for WHM.

They mentioned they affect cast speed and allow for certain skills to be cast. What if it's like Greased Lightning for WHM? Can I now pound out Stone casts like a bullet train?
