Please note: as with any job's opener or rotation, the actions you use dependon skill potencies and interactions with other players' buffs.You may see notable changes to the Opener or Rotation as we get closer to the expansion's release date.In addition, the potencies of each skill is always subject to change.
Use the information listed below as a basic guideline for how White Mage may play in Dawntrail:

• With the addition of Aetherial Shift, White Mages will have more freedom of movement while they cast in fights.
  Because this is acquired at Lv. 40, low-level White Mages can also use this skill.
• Presence of Mind did not receive a duration change, and remains at 15s. However, it does grant a new buff called Sacred Sight, which enables you to use the new action, Glare IV.
  Glare III does not directly upgrade to Glare IV. Glare IV can replace Presence of Mind on your hotbar.
  Sacred Sight gives 3 stacks of Glare IV, which the player can execute within a 30s duration.
  Based on this information, we can assume that Glare IV stacks do not necessarily need to be used while under Presence of Mind.
  However, because Glare IV has a stronger damage potency output than Glare III (single-target) or Holy III (AoE), players are advised to take advantage of Glare IV within damage buffs as much as possible.
• Based on preliminary potency changes, White Mages should still prioritise Afflatus Misery as their strongest damage spell in both single-target and AoE situations, as well as maximizing under damage buffs.
• Both Glare IV and Afflatus Misery are instant cast spells.
  As such, players may opt to hold the actions for movement during burst windows.
  For the best damage output, these actions should be used before raid buffs or Sacred Sight stacks expire.
• Many of White Mage's job actions received a potency increase. This is not expected to change the general rotation much.
  However, since Medica II received a direct upgrade to Medica III, players will get to enjoy a new animation, on top of the cure potency increases, upon using the spell.
• Temperance received a new additional effect called Divine Grace, which enables players to use the new ability Divine Caress.
  This new ability provides a barrier to all players within range for a short period of time. Afterwards, when the barrier fades, players will receive a regen effect, healing their HP.
  This is an excellent addition to White Mage's mitigation kit, as players only had a few previous options like Temperance, Divine Benison, Aquaveil, or Asylum.
  Notably, White Mage's previous options did not provide both a shield and a heal upon use. However, Divine Caress does.
• In addition, Divine Caress is an ability, which enables players to use other spells (such as Dia, Glare III, or Glare IV) and weave Divine Caress before they can recast their GCD.
  As the Divine Grace buff is 30s long, you will only be able to cast Divine Caress either:
  • Within the first 20s of Divine Grace, while Temperance is active, or
  • Within the last 10s, after Temperance expires.
  
  This allows players to stack both mitigations for heavy-hitting raidwides, or save Divine Caress for mitigating subsequent damage in the remaining time available for Divine Grace.

This section showcases some of the new actions and changes previewed in the DawntrailJob Action Trailer for White Mage in 7.0. The actual job changes inDawntrail may be different from what is shown below.

Additional details about job changes were revealed in the Letter from theProducer Live, Part 81:

• For all healers, the recast timer for Swiftcast will be reducedfrom 60 to 40 seconds when your job level is in the 90s Level range.
• For White Mage, as the level cap is raised, the job will see new additionsto their repertoire of healing and damage actions.
• There will also be a new trait that will allow for Tetragrammaton to have multiple charges, in addition toother minor changes not mentioned.

White Mage received several changes throughout the Endwalker patch cycles.Overall, most of White Mage's actions had a quality of life improvement,or had their potencies balanced with other jobs. However, the most notableadjustment for the White Mage rotation was reducing the recast time on Secret of the Lily, as this enabled players to cast an Afflatus Misery every minute. As well, since Patch 6.2, allhealers also have lower enmity generation overall. This is because the HPrestoration over time effect no longer generates enmity with each tick ofhealing. However, the initial execution of these actions will still generateenmity.
