Thread: 5.0 White Mage changes

For me yes the wings seems cool but kinda not detailed bland looking. The lilies I'm curious how long for lilies charges if too long might as well been still using spells and prey there up certain situations. The pure healer for all job I'm curious on this statement alone are they going to add more heal check more damage if not we'll umm sorry to say my regens will still cover most situations >.>

Remove DPS? What? Did no one pay attention to when they mentioned the Black Lilies? That they give access to strong offensive spells? Holy II or something, if I remember correctly.
Can't comment on the change of aesthetic to a more divine/light look. I kind of dig it, but hope that the other elements aren't just...gone.

Its just dresses and frills now... My problem is that these wings only play to that one aesthetic.

Lastly, white mage never really had any damage identity outside of holy, until FF14 where we got stone and aero, now that they seem to be taking it away what's going to be left of the conjurer aesthetic? To me that's the equivalent of taking away Black Mage's fire and blizzard.

Sorry if this seems a bit ranty, I needed a place to dump my stress. I don't want to lose my favorite class

Indeed! The wings look tacky and out of place. Why do we need to associate them with "angels" in the first place? Also, I hope they don't remove our firepower because pure healing sounds so boring and repetitive.

Pure healing is a snoozefest. I can get that experience in other MMOs. Having the option to DPS is what makes it fun. If they truly are removing offensive spells from our toolset, I can't see myself enjoying this class anymore. Unless they close the huge discrepancy in difficulty between MSQ and Savage, we are always going to have downtime.

I'm sure the healers will still have offensive spells.
The LL said they want to emphasize on healing, this doesn't mean solely focusing on healing.

Honestly, I think the wings are kinda cute? For me they were a selling point to play my WHM again but I can understand why some people would dislike them.

After reading all the whining on here, I've got to agree.
Let's wait until the media embargo is lifted as see the actual picture.
