Return of the White MageFollow

Something for us to rejoice about!

With the "safe" exp camps all clogged up, exp parties are having to explore a bit more and take a stab at more dangerous areas of Vana'diel. This is good news for WHMs, because nothing helps out a dangerous place like a WHM.

I was exping with a group on RDM in Xarcabard (S), but they asked me to run to change to WHM because of 1. R3 2. Banish bonuses and 3. Better buffs in general.

Then I was with a group in Caederva Mire, and it was in an old school party with a PLD, two strong DDs, a RDM, a WHM, and a bard.

Areas with undead infestations and difficult mobs lend themselves to a WHM primary healer. I suspect we'll be used a lot more frequently in the coming months, as people explore more dangerous areas and need a solid backline again.

In before debate on whether or not simply having Paralyna/Silena macros and knowing how to press them makes you skillful.

But yeah, I'd really like some higher level coeurls. I mean, nowadays, you've got people EXPing on just about anything just to be able to get some EXP; my first meripo after the patch was in Riverne A against Darners (damselfly mobs). I'm sure that some people would be willing to fight coeurls if there were any.

I think coeurls are pretty easy for a standard, average mage. I think it's harder to fight mobs that -don't- have their debuffs listed in the log like coeurls do. Like voiceless storm, for example. Or water bomb. Or Turbofan. Or Brain Crush. Or Auroral Wind. I never have issues but many mages just don't know that they have to silena after those moves because it doesn't say it in the log
