An Integration of Former and Current Ideas for WHM

[Dearche]

Isn't that how it is now? The Afflatus spells are already GCDs.

If a job had no oGCDs, it's CPM (casts per minute) would be very low, because it would have nothing to weave. You'd just be doing one action every 2.5 seconds, which might get a bit boring. WHM already has the lowest CPM of the three healers.

Well, this was an older iteration of healer ideas I've had, but my idea for WHM is that GCD healing is the core of it's design.

To make it work though, WHM would need two things. First, instant casts so that they could keep their GCDs going during movement intensive mechanics. Say, if there was a spell 'Quick Cure' which was like a 200 potency cure, but instant cast.

Second, is to make WHM's DPS not suffer due to all the GCD healing. So maybe it's main offensive abilities are oGCDs. Of course, throwing an oGCD every GCD is painful even if the cast times are short enough to allow weaving, so maybe you can only use one oGCD attack every 3+ GCDs? To make it combo with the healing image of WHM, and the lily system already in place, maybe make it so every GCD heal will generate a lily instead of being on a timer, and when you get 3, they convert into a blood lily, which could be used for Afflatus Misery like now?

Of course, Afflatus Misery would need a higher potency so that simply doing the current DPS spam wouldn't be better. 1200 potency Misery would probably make playing WHM feel very nice indeed.

Though, this alone wouldn't entirely fix WHM, it would be a good start.
