RIP WHM? What... what if.... if..

[xbahax92]

Ofcourse many players are already raiding the Omega content and know that WHM is utterly useless right now. Lets see if utility vs pure heal is important or not. Our Max HP will increase only by few thousands. The incoming damage might be higher, maybe not for dungeons, but for raids. You cant stop people playing WHM in dungeons nor 24man raid Return to Ivalice. All these crying people are actually such a few bunch, while the majority of casuals dont give a shit about if WHM is dead or not. All this whining, as if they cant patch a buff for our murdered WHM.

No one is saying WHM is "utterly useless" they are saying that ALL healers are capable of healing ALL content (this is by design). No content can be so healing intensive that only WHM can handle it. That being the case, Why bring a WHM who can only heal and dps, when you can bring a SCH or AST who can heal, dps, and buff the dps of the whole group.

Stop being obtuse. There will be no content so healing intensive that WHM's will be desirable above and beyond SCH/AST. There CAN'T be any such content because that would mean there's content only one healing job out of three can handle and SE does not design content in such a way. I think many expect a patch to buff WHM post release, much like AST got one soon after HW release.

No one cares about dungeons or 24 man raids. White Mage mains are concerned they will be locked out of PF groups who will only list Scholar and Astro. This happened back when Heavensward first launched, gradually paving the way for the constant buffs that made Astro the powerhouse it is now. Considering the amount of people who at least attempted Creator were several times that of Gordias or Midas, you are severely underestimating how many people raid. Regardless, why should White Mage mains "settle" for being good dungeon killers? They deserve the same treatment Paladin and Monk got, i.e., buffed across the board. Even setting aside Savage. Every job received shiny new toys that seem to benefit the job overall. White Mages essentially got Spear as a mechanic and are better advised to ignore their Lilies entirely.
