Description

The purest healer with the strongest raw healing output. White Mage focuses on powerful direct heals and regen effects, with Holy providing excellent dungeon crowd control.

Playstyle

Simple and effective. Glare spam for damage, Lily heals for efficiency, and the most powerful emergency healing toolkit. The best starting healer for new players.

Strengths

  • +Strongest raw healing output of any healer
  • +Holy provides unmatched dungeon crowd control
  • +Benediction is the most powerful single-target emergency heal
  • +Simplest healer rotation -- focus on mechanics, not buttons

Weaknesses

  • -Least mobile healer due to cast times on damage spells
  • -Fewer oGCD heals than Scholar or Sage
  • -No raid buff contribution to party DPS
  • -Lily heals are a small DPS loss compared to Glare spam

Key Mechanics

  • 1Lily Gauge for free heals
  • 2Afflatus Misery burst damage
  • 3Presence of Mind haste buff
  • 4Benediction instant full heal
  • 5Holy for AoE stun

Rotation Overview

Maintain Dia DoT. Spam Glare for damage. Use Lily heals (Afflatus Solace/Rapture) to generate Blood Lily for Afflatus Misery. Use oGCD heals (Tetragrammaton, Assize, Asylum) before GCD heals.

Utility

Tips & Strategy

  • 1Holy stun-locks dungeon packs for 7 seconds -- this is your best mitigation tool.
  • 2Assize heals, damages, and restores MP -- use it on cooldown, never hold it.
  • 3Benediction on a tank at 1 HP from Holmgang or Living Dead is optimal.
  • 4Weave oGCD heals (Tetra, Asylum, Bell) before resorting to Lily GCD heals.
  • 5Presence of Mind during burst windows increases your Glare throughput.
