White mage a Mage first, Healer second

[RSS News]

I have been thinking of designing the white mage but in a way that how I imagined the job could look like..
Personally WHM is best healer to me because how the idea of a nature elemental mage

So I imagined WHM as a mage first.. healer second.. burst healing and burst DPS.
I was always hating the idea of pure healer and shield healer and I think all healers should have both options in their kit.. the separation is unneeded.

WHM will have 3 main DPS GCD that can trigger GCD Healing.. transforming their kit based on last GCD element they have used..

Main Kit:

Stone V (GCD) (2.5s):

Deals unaspected 350 Potency.
(Can be casted without target it will deal nothing but it will change the element of other spells)
effect: Next healing spell like Afflatus Solace, Afflatus Rapture, Cure1, Cure2, Cure3, Medica1, Medica2, Asylum, Regen will have extra effect with 16% Mitigation.

Water V (GCD) (2.5s):

Deals unaspected 350 Potency.
(Can be casted without target it will deal nothing but it will change the element of other spells)
effect: Next healing spell like Afflatus Solace, Afflatus Rapture, Cure1, Cure2, Cure3, Medica1, Medica2, Asylum, Regen will have extra effect with 400P Regen in 9 seconds.

Aero V (GCD) (2.5s):

Deals unaspected 350 Potency.
(Can be casted without target it will deal nothing but it will change the element of other spells)
effect: Next healing spell like Afflatus Solace, Afflatus Rapture, Cure1, Cure2, Cure3, Medica1, Medica2, Asylum, Regen will have extra effect with 300P Shield.

(Potencies are not accurate it is just an example)
(Numbers can be adjusted if it is AOE healing)

Afflatus Solace, Afflatus Rapture, Cure1, Cure2, Cure3, Medica1, Medica2, Asylum, Regen
will stack last 2 effects.
First effect of the element will take the full potency or percentage..
second effect of the element will take 50% potency or percentage.

for example:
If in someone rotation did this:
Water V -> Stone V -> Afflatus Solace

Afflatus Solace will have extra effect of 2 elements
Water: 400P regen in 9s, Stone: 8% mitigation.

Divine Benison, Aquaveil, Dia

Glare V (Shield) (I didn't find a good name yet) (2.5) (GCD):

Deals unaspected 400 Potency.
