So, an small update from me since I know I have neglected to update the guide.
Between being completely engrossed into XIV and being unable to study a lot of XI content due to real life work kicking me in the keister, I regret to inform everyone that updating the guide is on hold indefinitely.
In my completely and utterly biased opinion, this is still one of the most comprehensive resources for new and veteran WHMs and I feel a lot of theory presented in this guide will stay relevant till time immemorial (okay, maybe not THAT long, but I imagine for quite a while!) While the gear sets will not be updated, this is still a great resource for everything else.
I will entertain any questions via PM if so desired, though my eye on this thread will probably be more lax (as already demonstrated) than before.
It's been a pleasure, and if times change and I can put my focus back on this guide, I shall do so.

On Healing Hands - A Comprehensive WHM Guide
If you find you cannot maintain this, could you not find a collaborator or two to keep the node edited? Just a thought.

If anyone is masochistic enough to go through my like, 80+ gear sets in the guide + sift through all the information, go for it xD My thought process is kinda incomprehensible at times, so I dunno if anyone wants the task of discerning my brain, honestly ^^;...

I am blessed that I was able to play alongside you in XI before we made our home in XIV. You remain a healing legend to me as we continue on with our new virtual lives in Eorzea. I believe your advice and words will serve well to any future healers for a long time to come.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the godawfullyhideous Wayfarer Robe is the new top WS body piece.

Whm can use espial, and from what I've seen it has better dd stats.
Edit: wait, what? Why was this on the front page if the last post is 36 days old o_O Odin.Calipso said: » Whm can use espial, and from what I've seen it has better dd stats. Edit: wait, what? Why was this on the front page if the last post is 36 days old o_O Espial beats Wayfarer in STR, mostly (head and hands have better alternatives than either so I'm leaving those out): (Espial - Wayfarer) body 22-20 legs 27-24 feet 10-9 But Wayfarer does much better in MND, which is mostly what you want for Realmrazer (sorry Hexa) anyway: (Wayfarer - Espial) body 28-22 legs 22-16 feet 18-10 More MND + not a huge loss of STR + MND being more useful for WHM for spells in general = Wayfarer for me (despite its hideous appearance). Espial does have accuracy, but it's not a huge amount and if you're using a ~200+ level club and sushi you probably don't need the extra accuracy. And frankly I'm overfull on WHM as is so I couldn't be bothered to buy a different set that has a negligible (IMO) difference from what I am using now. Got annoyed with my capped inventory and set out to replace my existing cure precast and generic precast sets. The set below lets me finally ditch Cure Clogs, Aceso Choker, Pahti Cape, and Genbu's Shield.
It doubles as a generic precast set for all other spells as well, swapping out Impatiens/Ogapepo Cape for Incantor Stone/Swith Cape +1. For curing the set has 60% FC in gear + 20% in merits = 80% FC cap (+11% occ. quickens spellcast for the Gearswap users). Any suggestions for improvement (besides the obvious Chelona or Ogapepo +1)? The goal is to utilize every piece for more then one set and give me some inventory -1 wherever possible. ItemSet 319260 Thanks! some new cursna data if anyone cares

Cursna's always been one of the things that's bugged me in the game and I'm glad someone got around to this very minor (albeit extremely annoying) aspect of the game. I've updated the Cursna section a little to reflect your findings just for completions sake. If I were to take a guess at it, my very rough and completely untested napkin math would guess 25 skill = 1% success with a base success rate of 5% at 0 healing magic skill. This is based upon the numbers you've given 68 skill - 15 skill = 53 skill to create a +/- 2% change, then backwards calculate a base value of that [ (424 + 15) / 25 ] = 17.56 = + / - 22% - 5% as per your first test. I imagine the decimals are floored as well. Of course, further testing would be required. I appreciate you taking the time to look at it ^^ Hello, I don't know if it already been said, but it seems that, either fastcast gear, or curespellcast - gear is not working if you macro them in at the start of the spell, then swap to potency.
I tested quickly my curaga III spellcasting time, with a "precast" macro, wait 1, potency gear. I found 4s, that's a lot. I tested with all my precast gear without swaping to potency, and it dropped to 1, or 2s max. Maybe my ISP or the server are too slow. I'm using windower scripts as macros FYI. I might be mis-understanding you but if you don't switch to potency gear and just cure in precast it procs?
That sounds to be that fastcast gear is working, it's just your macro is broken? It's working with fastcast/curespellcasting time gear indeed.
I have 69% total, missing Akvan body sadly. Here is my macro, if you find something wrong: >.> I think I just found the problem...
I should equip before casting the spell... Sorry to waste your time. anyone still do whm melee? sets {interest}
Asura.Zizek said: » anyone still do whm melee? sets {interest} The sets on the first page are still pretty good to shoot for. Is there any pieces of relic or af +2 thats worth doing for whm?

Leviathan.Fosco said: » Phoenix.Hellcatt said: » Is there any pieces of relic or af +2 thats worth doing for whm? Body if you use Regen. The 109/119 AF/relic head pieces have cure casting time on them. Are we not going to talk about the hands? Theophany mitts +1, if you are already capped cure potency are stunning healing hands. Hard to make up 17 healing magic skill (excluding body) in multiple other slots. Should get them made first. If you use and have a regen set like me, you will want to upgrade the AF legs also. So empy hands/relic body/AF reforged legs for max regens. The main reason to upgrade relic body though is on the off chance the +1 gets +3/tick refresh. Making it the only 3tick refresh body for WHM. You can add marduk's tiara+1 into that regen set ^^
