So how is whm doing?

[DJLovely]

Haven't seen anyone talked about whm at all, so What are your thoughts on White Mage so far?

[Truen]

It's basically the same, not much different. The biggest difference I've seen so far is I'm 1-button spamming MORE

[Risvertasashi]

Not much has changed. Just a few fine details - Misery is a bigger DPS loss, thin air is worse... but much is otherwise the same.

Over all I'd say it feels like a nerf that we would get during say 5.3 rather than an expansion with new skills.

Still getting used to the 1.5s cast time of Glare. Keep missing it since I'm so used to it aligning with the GCD.

So far, I haven't felt the change of Thin Air negatively. Actually like that one, since you can use it more targeted than before. Need to res someone? TA + rez, boom mana saved and you still have another charge left. With the old version, you felt compelled to "make use" of the time it was active, and it was annoying if you couldn't use it optimally.

And while I'm kind of disappointed that Glare and Holy got only so little potency upgrades, I must say the new holy is really pretty.

Overall, feeling pretty comfortable. The WHM was working well for me before, and continues to do so (lvl 85 now).

I feel like i'm the only one who is fine with the Thin Air change. it being on a 60s cooldown now mean that practically every Rez will cost no mana. Plus MP cost on some of the more expensive GCD heals got reduced & Lucid Dreaming buffed. Everything got improved to accommodate for Thin Air being "weaker"

[Charganium]

I like 1.5 cast times more than I thought I would.

[Sindal]

-Glare 3 and holy 3 are pretty
-having some movement wiggle room for casting and dodging is nice.
-plays more or less the same. Still able to heal dat tank.
-getting a replacement skill for fluid aura would have been neat.

Otherwise, it's same old straightforward whm. Functional as always.

It's WHM. Nothing new.

1.5s Glare does actually feel great, but WHM still feels neglected. Why does AST have a massive Star but Asylum is the same and Cure III is still a ridiculously small radius. Why is Holy the only healer aoe you can't weave with? Why did WHM's GCD heals only get 0.5 sec less cast time but AST got 1 sec? Why did Benefic get 100 potency and Cure get 50? Why is Thin Air nerfed? Why does Assize not have charges? Why is Aquaveil so bad compared to Exaltation? Why are lilies an even bigger potency loss? Why does WHM still have so few oGCDs to weave even after the 1.5s Glare change?

...And so on. It functions, but it could have been so much better. It's a shame, I don't dislike WHM, it's a comfy, straightforward healer, but that doesn't mean it has to be clunky and inferior. All the comfy dps classes have far better depth and flow.

WHM feels like WHM. Having gotten to 85 the only real difference I've noticed are the fancy spell effects of Holy III and Glare III.
