After holding out hope that some adjustments would be made to bring the White Mage job more in-line with its fellow “Pure Healer” counterpart Astrologian and seeing barely any changes made with the release of the Savage fights, and hearing that there was an announcement that changes will be made to add more job individuality starting with patch 7.2, I’d like to type out my thoughts on the current state of the White Mage (WHM) job and more specifically:

The new additions to its kit in Dawntrail
Where WHM stands compared to its counterparts
A wish list of potential changes and fixes

Overall, with the addition of new tools gained in Dawntrail, the White Mage job feels comfortable to play; however, when comparing the job to its healer counterparts the current iteration of the WHM kit feels uninspired and a little sparse. As someone who has mained WHM, I can’t help but feel that White Mage in its current form could do with some serious love.

As there are a lot of ideas put to paper, I've compiled my thoughts on a published doc, which is linked here
