That as long as they have mana and are alive, your party is nigh invincible.

Let's see how long your team survives without a reliable source of healing, asshole.

Those two aren't as versatile when it comes to healing.

>> No.8363447

I remember back in the days I always thought how healing was for plebs and white mages where a waste of a perfectly fine party slot.
I always wanted to crush everything before having to be healed.
And then I came to wonder why RPGs were always such a grindfest.

Good times.

Traditional FFT white mages?
Nothing much, they're a subclass for a reason.
FFTA white mages are pretty good though

Your childhood probably means RBY and there's nothing wrong with all-attack teams on RBY. In fact, Thunder Wave, Softboiled, Recover and Rest were just about the only good non-offensive moves.

That, and matches were exclusively determined by whose Tauros/Persian dies first. RBY, so good.

Nidoking lvl 100 with Blizzard, Fire Blast, Thunder and Earthquake could take pretty much anything

I see you're talking about competitive fighting but for me, even the most useless pokemon I used had still only offensive attacks, like butterfree

They resurrect dead party members. You can win boss fights with severely underleveled characters by just reviving every character he insta-kills. With their protective magic you can protect your party from party annihilation attacks, too.
I'm not much of a grinding fan, so I tend to finish RPGs at a way lower level than is recommended. Healing, reviving and protecting are essential for that.

>> No.8363638

They're good for all the reasons mentioned, but they're also the only class that can equip masamune, which makes them broken -- suddenly they're good at dealing damage on top of everything that made them good before.

>> No.8365546

Heals, Esuna, Protect, Shield, etc. for support and finally Holy for damage.

Because holy is like a giant beam from the sky.

They can cast ruse on themselves and solo Chaos without even promoting.

Also, they use hammers. What's not to like about hammers?

Butterfree wasn't useless. I would put Psychic on it and have it use its sleep spore thing to put stuff to sleep and then psychic them to death.

I miss the RBY days of ember/flame thrower/fire spin/fire blast
