Whm needs more party wide mit

[Minarisweet]

I know this will sound like a skill issue post but pfing these fights as whm has been really harsh since the only time you can ever save your party from a raidwide/mechanic that hits hard as whm is every 2 minutes with temperance especially since divine caress is gated behind it so its barely flexible (you can hold divine caress for 30 seconds but its honestly not enough when deathly raid wides happen as often as they do).

Either make divine caress a different button entirely to at the very least have SOMETHING or give us something similar to ast's collective unconscious if we're gonna go through so many deathly raidwides/mechanics.

And before anyone says its just lazyness tax for playing an easy job, you might be right but whm is inferior to ast in too many ways already it should just have something nice to not have to depend so much on extremely coordinated parties/shield healers gcd shielding.

Given that SE has started reworking several jobs to include long removed skills and reintroduce them into the modern era of the game, would it really kill them to reintroduce Protect as a Lily Ability at this point? It expands the lily system, while addressing WHM's poor mitigation toolkit so that it isn't always shafted in that department. Speaking of reintroducing old removed skills, return Divine Seal as a low level Temperance and make it a 1min CD again, Temperance didn't need to be a 2min CD to start with since it was just an upgraded Divine Seal in the 1st place.

That would at least fix their lack of mitigation because it's sad that DPS jobs have more frequent mitigation than WHM does.

Upgraded?

Divine Seal - 30% heal buff, 60 seconds CD

turned into:

Largese - 20% heal buff, 90 seconds CD

turned into:

Temperance - 20% heal buff + 10% mitigation, 120 seconds CD

Upgraded?

Visual Upgrade lol. Everyone already knows that WHM is the red headed stepchild of healers to SE, so any "upgrade" on WHM should be taken with a grain of salt, and Temperance is just one of many grains we've had to shallow over the years.

OGCD Stoneskin II, I summon you.

Like no for real, no point for limiting WHM's mitigation to just Temperance + follow-up action when AST is out there flexing Neutral Sect and Collective, both individually strong cooldowns for their purpose. Especially in a world when even the supposed shield healers are also gigaflexing on WHM with ridiculous amounts of AOE regen or even burst healing (hi Pneuma).

Just cut the cool down of Temperance in half down to 60 seconds. Let WHM pop out the wings more often.

I'm 100% behind this change

Came here with this exact suggestion in my head lol.

For Divine Caress if they think that’s too OP for 60s cool-down couldnt they make Temperance 60 but keep Divine Caress 120? Though, it’d be weird popping Temperance at 60s, Caress appears, but it’s still on cd lol

Maybe Plenary Indulgence can also give a mit?

WHM 100% needs more mitigation but if they did it that way then their mitigation profile would be exactly the same as AST which is boring

A one minute mitigation with some form of heal attached and a 2 minute mitigation that also allows for AOE shields

Like the shield healers share their bubbles but otherwise their mitigation profiles aren’t very similar considering expedience and holos function near nothing alike, SCH has illumination and seraph and panhaima are pretty noticeably different

I feel like WHM should get stoneskin 2 back as a lily spender with a rather long CD (like say 90 seconds) and like divine caress if it cracks you get a regen. That would at least make it distinct from CU
