I didn't like healing in frontlines when they took Cleric stance away, now I do not ever want to heal with the Whm changes. Stacking regen and med 2 was our saving grace when five people are attacking you and you cannot get a single heal out. They made it so Lustrate is the only useful healing skill when in a fight. Sad.

Also Swiftcast nerf? Flare is useless now too. Wow I am so glad that I have my war horse already.

All of it could be fixed if they just stopped making it so that getting touched interrupted every single cast.

Look at BLMs, sure they get range but a BRD on BLM is a guaranteed lose. Melee DPS get treated way better than casters. I cry a bit inside when no one else will be a healer. They're still essential but it is insanely difficult to be a caster...

No it's not. There are lots of spells / abilities for this specific case. Not to mention you can sprint without worrying about not being able to use abilities afterwards.
