    Please let that Indom change make it 1s cooldown like Lustrate! That would fix a lot of the AoE healing problems we have while not making us too broken on that front. As for Miasma II...please let it be AoE we throw at a group of enemies this time, not centered around us.

    Yes, because we can use it 12 times in a row without any resources...remember, it takes Aetherflow stacks to use. Like with Lustrate, we can't spam it. If you use it 3 times in a row right after using Aetherflow you've screwed yourself and your party. It would come in handy for a few terrifying moments though...such as jumprope failure into Ukehi during Susan EX.

    The bread-and-butter of healing economy are oGCDs and instant heals, and White Mage excels at that. White Mage came from the worst MP economy in HW to now first. With the amount of tools now at your disposal, you really need a train wreck to occur to run out of MP. The job is in a way better position than it was during Creator Savage, when it wasn't even desired.

    For love of God stop saying whm has more dps like searsouly. A whm dps can not even come close to a aoe balance.

    Don't bother saying
    "But balance is hard to get and is rng"
    Cuz I can have a aoe balance up almost a entire primal fight

    I killed lakshimi in a pug CLEAR group for a friend and we killed lakshimi before we got lb3. I had aoe balance up the entire fight but adds cuz I was like meh i don't think you need buffs for this.

    Now yes aoe balance dose have SOME down time but not much

    You had what we Astros like to call "luck." There are 6 cards in the deck. (all calculations account for Redraw)

    Probability of Drawing Balance: 11/30
    Probability of Drawing RR Effect: 11/15

    Probability of getting both a Balance AND RR Effect each minute: 121/450

    This isn't including Sleeve Draw.

    With Sleeve Draw: 8/15 every 2 minutes JUST to get a Balance (includes Redraw). This isn't including getting the AoE RR effect at the same time, or perhaps by RR the new Draw card. While it's completely possible to have Balance up for any large portion of the fight, it's highly improbable. I usually get lucky with three, maybe 4.

    Getting Balance is random... in some dungeons I can draw three back-to-back, while others, I get Spear/Spire back-to-back. I won't argue the advantages and disadvantages of bringing an Astro, or those of bringing a White Mage because they'll fall on deaf ears. However, the cards drawn are COMPLETELY random, regardless of which method we use to obtain the cards. We have roughly a 27% chance each minute to acquire the cards we need to provide this "insanely OP" buff to the group each minute.

    The HPS White Mages bring to the table, combined with their MP reservoir makes them a formidable healer.

    She didn't say White Mage's dps outclass The Balance.

    But if you take raw dps potency per healer without any buff, yes, WHM has the higher dps among healers. Checks the numbers of each potencies.

    People figure Balance into AST's DPS numbers, when that's not the case. We are talking about personal DPS and, yes, WHM has the highest. The samurai's damage didn't suddenly become the AST's because they got balance on them. It's a little frustrating.

    I just want my shields as a Scholar to feel like shields. They cost a lot, let them do something other than me holding my breath for crit. Dissipation change at some point would be nice. However, the others do look like a step in the right direction.
