On Healing Hands - A Comprehensive WHM Guide (V2)

speaking of partybuff anybody know if we can make it only show WHM related buff/ailments ?

A lot of plugins can have some configuration done to it. The common trend is people grab things off github and never open them up to see what is all possible.

First, we would like to thank everyone for all the discussions related to the white mage adjustments. We’ve looked over the feedback we’ve received from across the globe and have decided to make further adjustments to white mage in the next version update scheduled for July.

The main goal here is to make Afflatus Misery a stance that specializes in recovering status effects. We’d like for Afflatus Misery to have priority in situations where players are affected heavily from status effects and make it possible to select their stance based on the enemies they face.

By merging this goal with the adjustments made in the May version update we believe it will cover most of the feedback we have received. As such, we’d like to explain how we’ll address the two major points that were pointed out to us.

■ Ways to recover area-wide status effects have decreased
Previously Esuna was used to recover area-wide status effects; however, we have changed the specifics of the spell so that it only affects a single target which created an inconvenience amongst our players. In order to address this, we’ll make spells other than Esuna and Erase have an area-wide effect while Afflatus Misery status is in effect. However, this still lacks in the number of ways to recover multiple status effects; therefore, while under the effect of Afflatus Misery we’ll also reduce the recast times for several white magic spells, which includes Esuna.

■ Sacrifice can no longer absorb multiple status effects
While under the effects of Afflatus Solace player would use Sacrifice to absorb multiple status effects from the tanks, which is no longer possible. By using Esuna, players can now recover even more than absorbing. Due to this, we have no plans to make any further adjustments. Even while under the effects of Afflatus Solace, players can recover many status effects, and if you require recovering any negative status effects that require Erase, we’d like players to switch their stance and make use of Afflatus Misery. Also, we’ve decided that the white mage who cast Sacrifice gains the resistance, considering that they can also gain the effects of Divine Caress as well. As such, we have no plans to make any further changes.

Regarding Esuna while under the effect of Afflatus Misery, we did look into lowering the MP cost, as well as making it area-wide. However, in order to avoid situations where Esuna becomes too powerful, and to avoid needing to make adjustments to monsters that usually requires Esuna, we have decided to make the above balancing adjustments.

Either way, it's still unfair for Yagrush.

I'd rather they delete it at this point and just added Barlightra/Bardarkra.

The issue is more with Divine Veil than Yagrush itself. The proposed changes diminish the usefulness of the trait as a whole. Still good for Erase, of course, or for not leaving Solace, but it gets more niche.

Rather than look to buffing Yagrush specifically, if necessary, I'd think the logical route would be to improve Divine Veil. Have it do something on top of "just" making status cures AoE. Maybe also apply the status immunity that Sacrifice can now, something like that.

Thank you for all your latest feedback.

We have seen many comments that were against the new proposed changes and the reasoning behind the opposition. As such, we have decided to withdraw on making any further adjustments scheduled in July and will be reverting Esuna and Sacrifice’s effect to those from April 2019.

We assumed Sacrifice acted as a substitute for Esuna; however, we’ve seen many comments that supported the previous effect. Because Esuna was used in conjunction with the previous version of Sacrifice, we have determined that both spells need to be reverted. Furthermore, another factor that led to this decision was that the previous version of Esuna was an effective method for our players to recover area-wide status ailments when Yagrush was not utilized.

Yagrush benefits enough from Afflatus Solace while making it possible to make status ailment recovery spells an area-wide effect. With the changes we were planning, while there were pros and cons, we thought that there would be more positive effects when looked at as a whole. However, our understanding about that turned out to be naïve.

We apologize for the frustration we caused to our adventurers.

I have no more to say.
The differences between the manufacturer's opinion and the user's opinion strongly reflect the manufacturer's opinion,
I think the opinion of users who are vulnerable is almost like being killed.
I'm sorry.

So, now the only changes WHM received from the update are Solace/Misery merits and all get full potency Pro/Shell, correct?

Hopefully, they will also change the SU5s back... but, this is SE so I'm assuming the usual fail.

Is it still believed that the Cure Potency + 23 that you get from Gifts is Cure Potency I?

don't think that was ever believed
