[@BlakeAustin2011]

Works for me…it’s in a good place overall. WHM isn’t meant to be a barrier healer, so having it be low frequency makes sense.

[@TheAzarak]

Except all 3 other healers have really good pure healing options AND good shielding and DR. White Mage is the only healer locked to the pure vs. shield healer thing, while the other 3 have all kinds of healing

[@Damien-oc6yc]

Then let those people play those other 3 healers.

[@GameGod77]

I do wish they added something for the level 15 class quest to replace the removed fluid aura. Feels super weird to have Conjurer be the only class that doesn't get a skill for completing their level 15 quest anymore. Heck, they could've brought back fluid aura and just made it a weaker version of aqua veil.

[@OutlanderShaelyn]

We have a gap-closer- we will be UNSTOPPABLE NOW! *Mad Laughter*

[@SkiaSymphonia]

I'm so relieved that the dash is not 90+ or locked behind wings. I was worried that would be the case. All in all, I'm thrilled. This looks great!

[@yeolliepop9017]

As a Whm main I’m happy with this, not too much change I love the job as it is ❤

[@HakureiIllusion]

I like the new skill being tied to Temperance. Most people see Temperance as a panic button so they don't use it as often as they should; locking something else behind it will make them more likely to use it whenever it might be useful.

[@Samblix]

I really enjoyed WHM during Endwalker and I'm happy no massive changes have come. The job appeals to me because it's easy to remember so I am happy with the new stuff coming in Dawntrail!

[@Shizukanexen]

I love that was get the dash at level 40. Gonna keep all these tanks on their toes. Ya'll better move boys. Thanks for the videos Happs. They're great as always.

[@HeroGuy3]

Here's to another expansion with Cure 1 on my bar just in case I have to do one of the 14 pre-level 30 duties or god forbid MINE coils

[@HyouVizer]

Yep, idk why freecure isn't removed and a trait for Cure upgrades to Cure 2 still smh

[@HeroGuy3]

@@HyouVizer freecure/cure 1 is still in the game post 30 exclusively because of coils WHM simply does not have the mana efficiency to heal some fights MINE without using cure 1 If assize, thin air or lilies were available at 50, or if cure 2 just cost less mana then it might be fine But they seem unwilling to make that compromise

[@HyouVizer]

@HeroGuy3 but that gives a bad habit to whms later who at LV52+ don't need freecure with Solace being free instant Cure 2 equivalent still cast Cure 1 fishing for freecure. Also to alleviate that that for coils, make Cure 2 be 700 MP and shorten cast time to be exactly like AST Benefic 2 own version.

[@silvergrove8517]

​@@HyouVizerwould that not be part of the skill issue thing? If by level 52, after receiving Solace, you still go towards Cure because of a 15% chance to have your next Cure II be free instead of the instacast Cure II equivalent, that is a problem with the player.

[@HyouVizer]

@silvergrove8517 yep absolutely but it is also the poor design of early whm too. "Freecure" trait is a relic passive, back when ARR was current, whm mp economy was terrible, its MP regen ability was CD of 2 mins for 15s unlike 1 min CD for 21s is now. So even at the then level LV50 cap, some whms would still rely on it, even tho two Regen ticks add up to Cure lol. I'm just a veteran White Mage of almost 10 years, sad of seeing beginner WHMs still use Cure 1 for freecure proc into expansion content when better options are available 🥲

[@jeremycardines992]

I love that they didn’t do much for WHM. It’s in a good spot and you can see a lot of people struggling with the pure healing aspect of it. I’d say keep it that way, keeps it separate. And I love its new mobility skill. I do hope they add maybe a few skills that give it mp when used? Maybe the sacred sight stacks like give 500mp or something

[@LeonBlade]

I'm pretty happy with this as someone who has mained WHM on and off with MNK. The dash and instant Glare IVs were needed and I'm glad to see them.

[@HyouVizer]

no removal of "freecure" newbie trap trait. no trait to upgrade Cure into Cure 2 and reduce its MP from 1000 to 700 like AST Benefic 2 MP cost.

[@floradochi559]

whm doesn't need the mp reduction

[@HyouVizer]

​@floradochi559 I agree, but a lot of the reason why newbie whms mistakely don't use Cure 2 over cure 1 is not just weened to trying freecure proc but also the 1000 MP cost of Cure 2 puts them off using it regularly too.

[@floradochi559]

@@HyouVizer having whm be entirely fool proof would be detrimental on the long run in my opinion

[@OilFreeFeathers]

@@HyouVizer You say that as if "newbie whms" aren't already spamming Cure 2 instead of Holy in dungeons.

[@HyouVizer]

@@OilFreeFeathers they aren't, from what I've seen most of them just spam Cure 1 one endlessly, that's it lol.

[@cceider]

Yeah divine caress definitely feels like something that should be separate from temperance. Maybe a 90s cooldown

[@Evilman_520]

It was And then they gave it to WAR and called it "Shake it Off"

[@Reruro]

WHM was already in a fantastic place and literally all I wanted was a gap closer, but man we got so much more.

[@Cindertear]

Omg!! This looks so good!!! I’m super excited! WHM just keeps getting better!!! 🙌❤️

[@ellermentary]

Finally! Movement!

[@jereXIX]

Very happy with these additions! 😊

[@lawrencebarber8583]

Thanks for the video! I feel good about my main Job in Dawntrail. Go go White Mages!

[@RixsEmporium]

Absolute powerhouse! Whm are always eating well

[@aceface3333]

A plus with the new capstone being tied to Temperance is that it's available every 2 minutes.

[@holyja_]

I’m so happy for this

[@PureRandumosity]

Assize lives and the gap closer isn't tied to a target, I'm happy. Healers eating good this time around, every healer looks great

[@apathy2454]

That dash is soooo good for white mage makes it even easier I love white mage

[@Evilman_520]

War: "Hey WHM, you Want Thrill of Battle? WHM: "Sure! Want Regen?" WAR: "Sold!" BLM: "Hey WHM, you want Aetherial Manip?" WHM: "Sure! You want Rescue but specifically for your Leylines?" BLM: "Sign me up!"

[@Rynn21]

Still wanting my spread dot back

[@youngimperialistmkii]

I changed my main to Whm in EW. So this will feel fine to me.

[@DarkFlare07]

I wish they would leave shield abilities to scholar. I love that whm is heal heavy and I figured sch would be more shield focus.

[@SubduedRadical]

I have said for a while Plenary should get a mitigation effect (Pro-Shell?), as it already has that party buff that they could just tack the mitigation onto. The AOE barrer is...nice, though what if I need to do a mitigation and then another mitigation 51 seconds later? But yeah...otherwise, love it. Love WHM now, and this is WHM now with an extra dash and Inner Release. I'm cool with this.

[@skymagi4095]

Gap closer!! :D

[@MazzieMay]

I main WHM and secondary PLD, I am gonna be so comfy in DT, hahaaa

[@cosmosofinfinity]

The white mage gap closer works how I wanted the sage gap closer to work... and learned at the same level. I would've reversed their effects, actually, with sage's target-based one being on white mage as a parallel to black mage's Aetherial Manipulation, and change the name to Aetherial Winds. This way, it calls back to how they use elements (harmony with it, rather than exploiting it to the fullest like black mage) and makes them a reverse-Rescue mage/paramedic, while sage is more focused on general mobility like dancer. Though I guess they are sort of like paramedics themselves... I just wonder what happens when a black mage uses Aetherial Manipulation on them at the same time. And Glare IV is exactly the sort of attack spell I would have wanted in the white mage rotation (sort of like a scholar Ruin II combo), other than it being confined to only being usable within Presence of Mind. White mage has always been my least favorite healer, but Glare IV and their new level 100 ability Divine Caress looks like it's gonna make healing with them way funner

[@toodleselnoodos6738]

This absolutely confirmed what I was assuming: AST gaining another AoE damage reduction following Neutral Sect and WHM gaining an AoE shield with Temperance might help adjust the issue with AST/WHM during mitigation. Hopefully this means AST/WHM might be more viable if a combination.

[@PKcrash]

You say this as if ast doesnt already have multiple aoe dmg reduction skills.

[@breadmaster-lee]

so happy the white mage yeet is at level 40 8)

[@kitsunehanyou09]

I like the new additions and I'm ha--glad that they're getting an en avant move as early as 40, but I really had hoped they would have merged cure and medica with afflatus solace and rapture by now.

[@silvergrove8517]

Hm, I do not agree with merging the hard casts with the lilly skills but I do think it is odd that we do not have an Afflatus equivalent for Medica II

[@Ozumakuma]

as WHM main im content with this. I was hoping the lvl100 ability did dmg too, but thats okay.

[@GekidoXIII]

Man watching sage get aoe dot after they killed aero 3 is painful

[@xLiloScaries]

Yes, a dash skill for slow-ass WHM!

[@matthewpelletier6900]

The level 100 seems kind of underwhelming. I've never played WHM before so I could be wrong about how strong it'll be, but it just seems less impressive than a level 100 capstone ability should be.

[@catfood4142]

dont like they add WHM the quote on quote beefy but less mobile kinda heavy output on both dps and healing class a dash, on top of that a shield...too much utility and mobility.. but I understand its original stance and current state may feel very plane and bit too simple and pale, so they added that...wish they can enhance job unique abilities though..

[@Levi_Skardsen]

Disappointing that freecure is still in the game. It's a newbie trap and helps no one.

[@lushdontu4015]

Who cares? Just don't use it. They deserve the trap for being dumb. When I started, I never used freecure

[@silvergrove8517]

Isn't a noob trap good though? Helps to filter players who cannot be bothered to read their tool tips and understand the issue, or at least research the countless resources on the job that will let them know that fishing for Freecure is insanely inefficient compared to just casting Cure II.

[@AnMoron]

@@silvergrove8517 No, because this is a game with no difficulty curve in which any lobotomite with a pulse could clear all normal content comfortably. There is no such thing as a 'filter' in FF14.

[@iPlayOnSpica]

@@silvergrove8517 You would punish all of us on duty finder for it just to allow this Great Filter of WHMs to happen?

[@princessviolet4217]

Glare 4 should have been the new single target upgrade damage ability and glare 5 should have been the aoe tied to pom. Also why was holy 3 named in the game and never got corrected when we never even got a holy 2 vers ? That was always weird to me.. Smh 😒🙄 I guess I’ll be playing new Astro in this expansion as well. Anyways Good video tho ty. ^.^*

[@silvergrove8517]

Given the naming convention of spells in this game, the II spells seem to always be AoE (think about Thunder II and Verthunder II for example). Granted it is not strictly consistent but it is meant to convey the jump in power

[@Lurki-]

I am ready to accidentally dash off the edge.

[@kennys6288]

Lvl 100 healing ability only usable after using temperance. Terrible.

[@wizirbyman]

is the dash on the GCD or OGCD? I think it'd be unfair if the WHM dash was OGCD while sage is still on GCD

[@OilFreeFeathers]

Sage dash is an ability.

[@wizirbyman]

@@OilFreeFeathers i know, but i wish it was OGCD

[@MarcusMaybenot]

@@wizirbyman It is a ogcd.... Abilities are all ogcd's

[@silvergrove8517]

All the movement skills in the game are OGCD (also known as "abilities") the only things that differentiate them is whether it is targeted or not and if targeted, if you can target both enemies and allies or not.

[@iPlayOnSpica]

I don't know what you are smoking, but Icarus is and always has been ogcd. If you're fully aware of what is an ogcd and you play SGE, you'd know about Icarus.

[@Sorata77]

Bit disappointing really.

[@Oizys0miseria]

Kinda wish they made PoM 60s
