Favorite part of being a WHM!

I completely agree with you. The first time I level'd white mage I learned so much about the job there. I think that's why there are so many crappy white mages now.. They never had to go to Onzozo.

I've never partied there once :shok: You tell me whether I'm a shit WHM because of it :wacko: . I know what you mean though. I know I keep on top of status ailment removal well, and I also know many WHM's who fucking fail miserably at it. It's something that I can't help but be aware of when I'm on whm. My filters never change, even when I'm on another job. If someone has an ailment, I see it. I try and paralyna people on DRK. I shit you not. :nyam:
 
Oh yeah, forgot to post my favourite bits about whm...trying to think of something nobody has said before, other than the obvious, like Tele's and RRIII. The fact you're a highly desired job is nice, and the fact that parties are (or at least used to be) easy to come by is nice. Oh, and Noble's/Aristocrat's Coat and Blessed is sexy to look at.
 
I feel naked in the game without some form of white magic. In the other FF's, usually my most powerful attackers could cure themselves (when the specific FF allowed it, like FFV, VI etc)
OT:
I started as a whm, and while I got pld to 75 before whm, I've been called a mini-whm before. I always enjoyed the aspect of being a whm. Being able to stand there and keep ppl alive while they pound away on a mob. All the small things I suppose. Plus the fact almost always when I go out wandering the world, I find someone dead, somewhere, who gets a RIII and a /wave.

Also, teleporting people for free because I can. And porting myself around the world, as I'm a lazy ass, and don't like walking (esp at 100% movement speed).
Plus the whm hat looks adorable on a taru, and it has ear vents. EAR VENTS~! <3

Oh, and without whm, I'd of not been able to make my quote for my sig, the single unique thing I've had since I joined qcdn.
 
I also took my WHM to Onzozo, and my BLM, RDM, and SMN as main healer through there. What I really like is being able to depend on my tank *coughNyconcough*, knowing he'll keep monsters off me, and in return I'll keep him alive and status-free to the best of my ability.
 
To help people, my first character in this game was whm and I always got a sense of joy when I could raise someone or throw them a cure narrowly avoiding death. By the same token though I felt a sense of loss when I'd run across the world to raise someone and they homepointed before I got there or some random mage passing by got to them first.

I used to get a kick out of watching new raise-equipped lv 25 whm's patroling the dunes waiting for that first party member to fall so they can try out their new godlike powers, sometimes I wondered when a player was in danger would they cure or wait for them to wipe so raise can be activated. :)

Its a fun job at 75 bestowing R3's to thankful-about to delevel to 74 players, but much like Zera said in end game if you have whm you rarely get to come as anything else, I spent a lot of time as Whm in sky not because I was a great whm more because nobody else wanted to come as whm.

Whm's are very useful because they can cure outside of party unlike DD's sometimes I used to curse myself for being so useful lol.
 
I like being WHM when I can manage my MP better than RDMs.

I also like timing Cures to hit right as PT members eat a ~Ga or when I know they might take a hit from shadows being down. When you do it right the HP bar doesn't even seem to move.
 
Crazy whm world

I began leveling white mage because all the other white mages would kill my warrior so much it was a job that got more delevels than levels. I figured I could cure better than any of them. This was over 4 years ago. As I was exping I ran across some cool galka pld named Gimli~ So he would invite me to parties he had made as healer.

You forgot the tree for spamming of erase/barspells. I loved seeing a pld get slashed to near death off the spiders there. Yes I cured a lot better than those wanna be whms.<Mamook tabars is good training for newer whms>

I kept leveling white mage partly because my husband was a melee rdm. He did all his hasting/refreshing/dispel/enfeebles~ He just liked to melee if the party was killing fast enough~ It was fun telling cookie cutter parties if they kicked the rdm the whm was going too. Once I got white mage to 64 I just liked being the back one of any party. You need a healer for any party to get any exp. I would get about 10 invites while farming as whm/thf. Then I had those rock your exp world parties and just took whm all the way.

I even like whm in endgame. Endgame was more challenging as whm. You have to be fast with everything or you see a wipe. <barfira on nin mobs in dynamis, barstonra on tanks on kirin> My favorite part of whm was teleporting a dying party because we had no escape and me landing dead at the crag with everyone else still alive. Almost forgot~ Divine seal curaga 3 and 4! Who needs Benediction for hate when you have those spells.
