my rework idea for WHM

[CrimsonGunner]

seeing videra posting reworks ideas made me want to make a post about a whm full rework idea.
it wont take into account other healers current kit (cause tbh i want all healers to be changed to better designs) and is meant to mostly present the overall feelings i would expect going forward with the lily gauge.

before i will post the overall idea and vision i had for whm in my mind for fun, i would like to say sorry to any if my recent posts offended you.


REWORK IDEA:

my theme for whm: a conjurer starting to learn white magic, using the umbral elements (water, wind and earth) he uses them to mimic white magic and heal the world.
he loves peace and tranquility and wish only to save and heal people from pain.
using white magic to heal require to use static aether, by using heals, whm will disperse his static aether leaving him to accumulate active aether.
holding that active aether inside him gave them access to strong devastating magic spells that nearly brought forth calamity.

who this rework address to: whm has always been the first healer to be obtain in final fantasy series, it always been the general healer and defensive buffer while in later levels he gain access to one of the strongest spells in the game.
this idea of rework is to make whm be the starting healer and allow easy introduction to healing while giving him depth aka blm(easy to learn ,hard to master) type feeling.

this idea is for all the new players who never main healers and find healing complex. those who find juggling buffs and debuffs while dps and healing too hard or those who just prefer to use heal then use offensive ogcds or be more dps oriented healer and lastly as you like to call them all the healbots and "sylphies" of the world but without compromising on depth of a kit.

the design is to juggle only heals ogcd and to cater those who dont care much about overheals or wish to not manage so much their healing output to be less then minimal and try to be a bit more forgiving in that regard when learning to heal and playing whm.

kit design

blood lily

by using spells and abilities that use the lily will nourish one blood lily.
