A summary of healer issues

[RayThrust]

White mage's magic is all pure light based and has moved away from its stone/wind/water effects

the fact that white mages draw magic from the land and themselves in order to cast things.

To be fair that kind of makes sense. Light is basically all the magic that’s left in the First.
And while many complained about WHM mainly just spamming the same spell in SB too, it honestly seemed like they just hated to “throw rocks”.

Unpopular opinion; outside of duty roulettes, but in higher tiered content I actually prefer the new AST cards. Bole might have made healing that one tank in levelling roulette easier, but didn’t do squat anywhere else. Balance and the occasional Ewer was all I really wanted tbh.
I do think SCH “deserved” to be pegged down a notch, but not by the cost of removing so much of their identity and play style that separated them from the other healers.

Great post!
I agree with most of your points, if not all of them, but I think WHM is actually a healer they somehow managed to push in a positive direction.

In regards to light, with respect to the elements, it should only have affected the casting of either wind or stone, not both due to their positions on the elemental wheel

Thank you!
With whm, there's 3 main reasons i can think why everyone plays it.
1. Blood lily, its quite popular for being unique and super strong.
2. The lily mechanic actually functions compared to sb. Its not hard to improve on useless
3. Its the healer kit that plays the smoothest. Sch abilities don't synergise and ast is a nightmare on controller especially with the play button or minor arcana and horoscope is cited as needing qol a lot
