This one took a really long time to get out there, partially because getting the right footage proved a pain and because I was being careful to make sure I got as much of it right as I could. White Mage is one of the most important jobs in the game for serious endgame content so it's crucial it's players know what they're doing and do it to the best of their abilities.
I'm by no means one of the best White Mages out there but I think I've done a decent job in bringing a new player up to speed on what the job entails.

Among the next videos to come out is an editorial on CP parties/camps as well as another job guide long overdue. Might take a few weeks but they're being done!

I know its been 5 years since you made this but thank you. Leveling vs actually playing content with other people is very different, it helps to see a glimpse of what it looks like.

Ah this makes me remember my WHM Days. It was always pretty cool to me that people started looking for me when Forming Parties since i had a modest grasp on the entire Job. Knowing those Sacrosanctity clutch moments and proper Sacrifice application...don't get that out of Modern games.

Man I missed healing back in the good days. I dropped it because how much whm is not appreciated. So, I solo most of my way through content on RDM and eventually joining a 2 others to take down the most difficult content back in 2009. We still play from time to time but this game has changed A LOT.

@benoitrousseau4137 5 жыл бұрын

Interesting! I was asking for a while why a lot of the FFXIV white mage spells are not named after the usual white magic names. (For example, why "Benediction" instead of "Full Cure" which is the usual name. Or why "Asylum" instead of "Regenga/Regen II"?) Turns out those names all came from FFXI's special white mage abilities.

YOU DID IT.Okay, lemme actually take notes on this one.

@RoninXDarknight 5 жыл бұрын

Loved this video. Mind you, I haven't played in many years at this point, however a quick note on how Devotion used to work (and may still). The amount of MP returned is calculated based on your current HP. This means that it's affected by HP boosting gear. As a lvl 75 Taru whm I used to be able to restore close to 500 MP with one Devotion by simply equipping HP plus gear, curing myself to max and then firing Devotion. You lose a bit of MP via the HP swap and curing yourself but the way I saw it was that it was far easier for me to get MP back than say my rdm or pld (my usual targets). And after this one pld I worked with quite often crapped his pants the first time I did this we came up with one of his favorite combo moves. I'd convert to my HP setup, he'd Cure IV me and then I'd refund his MP with Devotion. Allows the tank to help cement hate at very little cost to anyone. Do this with a full charge of Sublimation to fire off right after switching back to your normal gear set and the lost MP on your part is minimal. Conserve MP+ and Haste+ (Fast Cast+ wasn't available as much when I played but I used that instead where I could) gear were also good to macro in for spells like Raise, Haste, Erase, Regen & -na spells which don't (didn't?) really have any other modifiers (and where better stuff that directly affected them isn't available). Maybe it's not such a big issue nowadays but I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention anything about a resting set for regaining MP.

@npsmel 5 жыл бұрын

RoninXDarknight things have changed significantly. I cure 3 at 600 and I wear pants that return mp based on amount cured. A good set up does not require resting. The speed of play has also increased.

I LOVE the pressure this job brings to the table! It's so much more rewarding, for me at least, as compared to other jobs after a tough battle. Also, having the idea that everyone is at my mercy as far as who gets healed or not is sooo, ohhh soo satisfying. I jest but the first statement is true! Treat your WHMs with respect boys and girls! lol

Hella late reply for you, but for any future people you want fast cast and cure reduction in your precast sets. You only sit in precast for a second before gearswap puts you into the midcast set where you want cure potency, enmity down, etc

David the light coloured text is an /echo input on the macro line. The key filters to configure on WHM are so you can see damage dealt by you (shows cure amount), effects started/on by you (shows ailments and magic effects) and effects on/by party members

Probably a great advanced video guide. How do you become a White Mage? Just thought if this is a guide, I would think this might be covered...but as most of these guides, everyone thinks everyone has been playing FFXIV for 7 years and need no basic information.

I can understand an under equipped tank, but a retarded dps that keeps pulling threat is easy to deal with. 1st time they pull threat it's a mistake, 2nd time they pull threat you let them get low, 3rd time you make them walk back to their corpase.
