I cannot for the life of me fathom why this was deemed necessary.

But who cares! Woo!

Same, the balance between WHM and SCH was really good, I don't know why they would want to mess with that.

lol that Lustrate buff was so random.

Yeah, hopefully thing patch won't change anything. I always loved WHM/SCH synergy.

They really giving Bliz 2 to all mages? Does it come with the MP regen? MP regen on all healers would be pretty damn stupid.

Lustrate boost helps with players with low HP to start with. Not really going to be a game breaker in terms of heals.

You only use lustrate in coil, and maybe a rare sacred soil. This equates to about another 900-1200 free heals throughout a minute. You never use lustrate on a person with lower hp unless it is to save them simply because it is more mp efficient to just heal them. Totally unnecessary change which WILL affect the near perfect balance that the WHM / SCH combo already had.

Too bad Omnilex is getting downgraded due to typos....

The Veil of Wiyu → The Veil of Wiyu Zenith
Omnilex+1 → Omnilex
Holy Shield+1 → Holy Shield Zenith

Virus is nerfed with Antibody, so it's important in the higher-level fights.

Probably because Cure III got buffed and Medica II got a longer duration.
