As the name of the topic implies I am in need of help with my WHM. Currently I have just hit 57 with my white mage and I will say right off the bat it has been a helluva good time playing as a white mage. Never did a healer in any game before, decided to give it a spin and never looked back, most fun I have had on the game in a while.

Now that being said I will digress into my issue which is trying to understand what I have been reading in different forums regarding the end game WHM rotations. From what I have been able to gather it seems like WHM are no longer needed for heals and rather dps. Read roughly 5 different forum posts from reddit and other sites and all basically summed up my experience soon to be, put up HoTs, and spam cast Holy till everything is dead while throwing out the occasional assize or asylum...is that true?

I read in the posts that I should never touch cure I or II, ignore the lily counters or go as far as removing off my screen and I will be honest as I read that and more I have become suddenly discouraged about reaching end game with my white mage. Several responses in the different forums made it sound like WHM heals are almost never needed and we are secondary healers whom is kept around for dps purposes only.

I will admit almost all posts I found dated back to august of 2018 being the oldest but they were the most recent I could find. With current content brought in recently between 4.0 and 4.5, has the environment improved for WHM or is it as bad as everyone has made it out to be?
