Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.4 brings party buffs to everyone
Every time a new batch of Final Fantasy XIV patch notes is released, players are curious if there have been any significant changes to their favorite job that could affect the way they perform. The patch 6.4 update is no exception, and there aren’t any major changes to the jobs.
The range of most jobs has been altered or their potency increased. These abilities have been given a range increase under “party buffs.” This was done to reduce the need for players to stay close to each other to get buffs.
‘s official patch 6.4 notes contain a complete list of all the changes to jobs. The following is a list of the changes made to each job and an explanation of how they were changed.

Healer jobs changed in Final Fantasy XIV patch 6.4
To the dismay of every healer, these changes to the role do not affect their range of healing skills.

The buffs have been increased, but the changes to the White and Sage DoTs, while minor, are still welcome.
