    WHM Skills. 2.0 vs. 4.0

    Hey all,

    I was recently motivated to look at how WHM skills have evolved and changed over the years. Its been a long time since 2.0 and memories fade and we forget, or never knew, what used to be.

    The only real point of this post is to just have a nice chat while looking at the info; though I'm sure it will turn into an argument about something or other by page 4. Regardless, it's interesting to see how much the job has lost since its inception.

    It was actually a real struggle to find information about WHM's original set of skills/traits, but I did manage to find them.

    I was tempted to put together a Graphic for all of it, but I don't have that kind of time. (Someone else is definitely free to take a crack at it though, I'll include my sources.)

    Without further ado:

    2.0 - WHM 1-50 skill/trait progression

    Level 1 - Stone
    Level 2 - Cure
    Level 4 - Aero
    Level 6 - Cleric Stance
    Level 8 - Protect & Trait: Enhanced Mind
    Level 10 - Medica
    Level 12 - Raise
    Level 14 - Trait: Enhanced Mind II
    Level 15 - Fluid Aura
    Level 16 - Trait: Proshell
    Level 18 - Esuna
    Level 20 - Trait: Maim and Mend
    Level 22 - Stone II
    Level 24 - Trait: Enhanced Mind III
    Level 26 - Repose
    Level 28 - Trait: Enhanced Raise
    Level 30 - Cure II & Presence of Mind
    Level 32 - Trait: Freecure
    Level 34 - Stoneskin
    Level 35 - Regen
    Level 36 - Trait: Enhanced Stoneskin
    Level 38 - Shroud of Saints
    Level 40 - Divine Seal & Trait: Maim and Mend II
    Level 42 - Cure III
    Level 44 - Trait: Overcure
    Level 45 - Holy
    Level 46 - Aero II
    Level 48 - Trait: Enhanced Shroud of Saints
    Level 50 - Benediction, Medica II

    4.0 - WHM 1-50 skill/trait progression

    Level 1 - Stone
    Level 2 - Cure
    Level 4 - Aero
    Level 10 - Medica
    Level 12 - Raise
    Level 15 - Fluid Aura
    Level 18 - STONE II (through Trait)
    Level 20 - Trait: Maim and Mend & Enhanced Mind
    Level 26 - Repose
    Level 30 - Cure II & Presence of Mind
    Level 32 - Trait: Freecure
    Level 35 - Regen
    Level 40 - Cure III & Trait: Maim and Mend II & Enhanced Mind II
    Level 44 - Trait: Overcure
    Level 45 - Holy
    Level 46 - Aero II (through Trait)
    Level 50 - Benediction, Medica II

    Pretty "Big Oof" when you see the comparison... I personally never realized how big the gaps were for the class these days. It's no wonder I run into people who find early WHM to be such a slog.
