White mage ideas to make them unique (using lillies)

[Vhailor]

Instead of complaints, let's find solutions. What would you do with lillies that doesn't make them a sch/ast?

I know some have given ideas but they get buried in the "I want things for savage raiding (even when barely 2% of the population even clears savage raids)" comments which don't even go into the detail. Give them real ideas, not just "raid utility"

Lilies should tie into elementally-themed buffs that provide utility and damage mitigation. Something along the lines of a wind-themed spell that significantly weakens a monster's defense, a water-themed spell that provides a potent buff of some sort on the party, and an earth-themed spell that provides damage mitigation. It would fit the theme of White Mage, and would provide realistic options for how to spend the Lilies that do get accumulated (the mechanic for how Lily stacks are acquired also must be changed; at a bare minimum, HoT ticks need to have a significant chance to proc a Lily, and Cure I / Cure II should be well over 50% chances, if not guaranteed).

That being said, I must confess, I take issue with your post. It's not the job of the player community to come up with specifics - that's on SE. They're the development team. We're supposed to let them know when something isn't working and why, which generally is being done quite effectively right now.

I'd also point out that this isn't just a Savage Raid issue. To be sure, the pending problems facing WHM will be most visible in Savage / Extreme content, but the effects trickle down even to the point of impacting run-of-the-mill dungeons. People choosing to play WHM shouldn't have to enter a dungeon feeling as if they're significantly gimping their party relative to its performance with an AST or a SCH. Whether or not the content can be cleared is too simple an analysis.
