The '''White Mage''' {{J|ē™½é­”道士|Shiromadōshi}} Job in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]]'' is available to [[Human|humes]], [[viera]], and [[Nu Mou|nu mou]]. The White Mage job in this game is no different from those of other games, being able to learn the general [[White Magic]] skills such as [[Cure (Ability)|Cure]] and [[Raise|Life]]. They wield staves in combat. It should also be noted that the White Magic they use to aid allies is also effective in dealing damage to [[Zombie (Tactics Advance)|Zombies]] and [[Vampire (Tactics Advance)|Vampires]]. The best race to use the White Mage is the nu mou, due to their superior magic growth. Viera should only use the White Mage when necessary (i.e. to unlock more powerful Job classes). White Mages, as always, provide fantastic support.

White Mage provides healing and support for allies. Accessible from the start, it is an ideal class for units who specialize in support rather than combat. White Mage can heal groups of allies from a distance and has access to Life, Full Life, and Auto Life, which help to prevent potential disasters in areas like the [[Jagd]]s. Life, in particular, is one of the earliest reviving abilities obtainable. Shell and Protect bestow allies higher survivability, while Esuna cleanses the most common status effects. With decently high Magic Resistance and the right robes, White Mages can resist enemy magic. Since their healing abilities are holy-elemental, they can damage the scarce undead enemies in the game. Even after a character can move on from the class, White Mage abilities are great for any would-be healer to have.
  +
  +
However, the White Mage's stat growth is unremarkable, bar decently high Magic Resistance. The more advanced mage classes offer superior stat growth in all areas. The stat growths between the three variations are not significantly different, but the hume White Mage has the lowest Magic Attack, while the nu mou White Mage is the slowest. This class is incapable of physical combat, and no staff has particularly high attack power. Becoming a White Mage is outside the realm of possibility for units like [[Fighter (Tactics Advance)|Fighters]].
  +
  +
Overall, the White Mage is a capable healer throughout the entire game. Its stats are easily outclassed, but its abilities are worthy to have on any mage.
  +
  +
Enemy White Mages are easily defeated by physical combat. Offensive units can outspeed and take out White Mages before they get to move. Silence disables them for a while. Any enemy units near a White Mage will likely survive longer than usual, so it is better to attack the White Mage than potentially waste damage on another unit. Physical ranged units, like [[Hunter (Tactics Advance)|Hunters]] and [[Gunner (Tactics Advance)|Gunners]], can heavily damage White Mages while staying away from danger.

Uses white magic to heal and aid allies.

Description

The White Mage job in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance to humes, viera, and nu mou. The White Mage learns the general White Magic abilities, such as Cure and Life. They wield staves. The White Magic they use to aid allies is also effective in dealing damage to Zombies and Vampires. The best race to use the White Mage is the nu mou due to their superior magic growth. Viera should only use the White Mage when necessary (i.e. to unlock more powerful jobs). White Mages, as always, provide fantastic support.

Growth[]

Hume[]

Hume White Mages are mediocre when compared to both other White Mage types and other hume magic classes. Their Speed, Defense, HP and MP are slightly higher than the hume Black Mage, but the Black Mage has higher Magic Power and Resistance growths. Compared to the other White Mages, there is nothing a hume White Mage can do that a different race cannot do better. It is best to avoid leveling up as a hume White Mage, since there are better stat growths available elsewhere.

Overview[]

FFTA Life

Life.

White Mage provides healing and support for allies. Accessible from the start, it is an ideal class for units who specialize in support rather than combat. White Mage can heal groups of allies from a distance and has access to Life, Full Life, and Auto Life, which help to prevent potential disasters in areas like the Jagds. Life, in particular, is one of the earliest reviving abilities obtainable. Shell and Protect bestow allies higher survivability, while Esuna cleanses the most common status effects. With decently high Magic Resistance and the right robes, White Mages can resist enemy magic. Since their healing abilities are holy-elemental, they can damage the scarce undead enemies in the game. Even after a character can move on from the class, White Mage abilities are great for any would-be healer to have.

However, the White Mage's stat growth is unremarkable, bar decently high Magic Resistance. The more advanced mage classes offer superior stat growth in all areas. The stat growths between the three variations are not significantly different, but the hume White Mage has the lowest Magic Attack, while the nu mou White Mage is the slowest. This class is incapable of physical combat, and no staff has particularly high attack power. Becoming a White Mage is outside the realm of possibility for units like Fighters.

Overall, the White Mage is a capable healer throughout the entire game. Its stats are easily outclassed, but its abilities are worthy to have on any mage.

Enemy White Mages are easily defeated by physical combat. Offensive units can outspeed and take out White Mages before they get to move. Silence disables them for a while. Any enemy units near a White Mage will likely survive longer than usual, so it is better to attack the White Mage than potentially waste damage on another unit. Physical ranged units, like Hunters and Gunners, can heavily damage White Mages while staying away from danger.
