Extend Waltz Potency Cap ?

[Alhanelem]

I don't know why the devs think this would be broken. You're still limited by TP and the individual recasts, so even if you had enough TP to do every waltz as often as possible, it still wouldn't match a mage's healing speed.

Well, mages aren't (generally) uninterruptable, unkillable, unstoppable curetanks that can refill a third of their MP bar on demand every 30 seconds, either. I mean, I'm not saying split waltz cooldowns would be apocalyptic or something and I'd love them as much as the next DNC, but of all the issues on which SE is perhaps inappropriately conservative for fear of making something overpowered and trivializing the entire game, this is far from the most unwarranted.

That said, somebody floated the idea of a 2-FM Group 1 flourish that reset your waltz cooldown and I think that's a great solution to a very real problem that on the one hand critically limits a popular job but is conceivably dangerous to address carelessly.

I don't know why the devs think this would be broken. You're still limited by TP 1* and the individual recasts, so even if you had enough TP to do every waltz as often as possible, it still wouldn't match a mage's healing speed. 2*

1* And i don't see how im limited by TP at all. The limit are Recasts.

2* Exactly this. You would be Limited by recasts. So while being limited by recasts the Dnc Cures need to recover more HP so with unchanged recasts the only possibility to get more out of what you have is simpy extending the cap on Potency.

Diffrent Issue. Diffrent Answer.

If they removed recasts altogether, we'd be TP limited. I'd argue that even in that case we'd barely begin to approach WHM's healing power.

True, but that's just another ring around the mulberry bush of "White Mage is the most overpowered healer in the history of MMORPGs, both relative to content and other healers, and it is ruining this game".

It's basically impossible to have a worthwhile discussion of what DNC (or RDM, or SCH) needs and doesn't need if we're going to use WHM as the point of reference.
