I struggle to think of a single job mechanic that was ever DESPISED (hated?) as much as the white mage’s lily system in stormblood. When white mages were struggling (at times, not all the time) during that expansion people would often cite “it’s because white mages weren’t given anything good this expansion”.
It wasn’t until shadowbringers when the lily system was revamped that people finally calmed down about this system.

Ya'll knew this was coming from me sometime. The white mage lilies in stormblood was in my, and many other players opinion, the worst battle system EVER implemented in FFXIV's history. 🍕🍕🍕

I heard about the horrible Lilly system so thus interesting
Something to keep in mind cure 1 and benefic 1 were cast in heavensward to fish for procs. Which leads me to believe they didnt anticipate they effect removing cleric stance and adding more ogcds would have
I only joined after SHB and I had no idea omg. That sounds awful!
Hot opinion but I still think the lillies are kind of lame. They should up the potency of misery to make it equal to glarespam at the very least. I always disliked how white mage is punished for actually healing while the other healers have more "free" ways to heal. Afflatus Misery is a step in the right direction but it's still a dps loss compared to just spamming glare, so I usually see white mages just relegate most of the heals to the other healer.
Jeez, I can't imagine that system and having even less to do. WHM is like simultaneously really boring and stressful for me, because you're supposed to DPS, but you're also the one responsible for keeping everyone else alive. So I'm just thinking how much I'd hate not even having extra off-GCD heals. (Side note, but I just like to think WHM is all about the booty with a-flat-ass and ass-size spells)
This makes me think/hope that Sage is going to have a ton of off-GCD heals and a steady stream of DPS abilities, but that's really just me fantasizing about how I'd make a Sage healer that has the same kind of core idea as the Sage in FF3.
I can actually see how a cooldown reduction system would be amazing for those skills especially assize or tetra. But reliance on the cure series of spells is underhanding the potency of the white mage.
i starteds in ShB myself, had no idea this system ever existed like this
I named my character Lily because I knew she’d be a whm main 😅. I started to play her after ShB came out so I never seen what was before… however I absolutely love them as they are now. They are part of my identity as a whm 😅.
Also Regen is just a must for me it allows me to Holy/Glare so much more 😁👍. And then after a bit I have my first Lily available and can use it for insta heal reapply Regen and go Holy/Glare over and over again xD.
Storm blood sounds like a completely different game than shadowbringers. Crazy to see these old changes.
I feel like cure 2 should REPLACE cure 1, my white mage used to use cure 1 and when we all made him stop, he started getting about 10ish more casts of glare per fight
Even today WHM (Which is my new main) I use the blue lilies for another heal type so I use them as needed but the blood lily (which I have used) doesn't seem to do any damage that I have noticed so its useless
Confession Stacks ugh…they'd have a chance to work on a healed target. Then you'd use planetary to eat all those stacks for extra heals…problem was besides being RNG, the confession stack proc duration didn't last long so they'd often fall off prior smh.
Cure 1 tho, idk why it doesn't just get a trait to evolve into Cure 2 but with MP cost 800 from 1k MP
The worst system in the game is the burger king hat people🤪 and tp is gone now
Actually, the lily system still sucks. It's better than in SB that's for sure, but it is still a heavily flawed system. Both WHM and SCH have arguably the worst job gauges in the entire game.
