Healer PVP Actions are Amazing

We barely actually heal in PvE so I don't know why they don't just give us a fun experience like this too. If you're playing with any tanks that are average skill level or higher, they can heal themselves. Savage content is all scripted and just a oGCD or two as well not actual healing. I guess Yoshi wants the jobs to stay this way though because we actually have to press a few more buttons in ultimates.

GAH, I'm torn. AST was my main healer from SCH (thanks Stormblood) , then Endwalker had me switch to SGE.

At least PVP had me consistently use my WHM.

now they've blown that away, they all look fun in their own way!

I will give credit where credit is due and give SE props for making healers in PvP enticing to play. Now they just need to bring this creativity over to PvE.

Funny how a content that's often being seen as an 'afterthought' has more depth in its Healer roles than in PvE.

I think everyone needs to look through the changes thoroughly. They are *completely* removing spammable heals, making each one a cooldown effect and eliminating infinite stalling.

In short, Healers are now DPS in PvP and thus, get access to all of the design perks.

That's basically what I noticed as well. I mentioned earlier that they seem more like "Support" than "Healers" having more utility than other jobs and focusing on battle manipulation.

I read through the skills in the wiki and all I could say was: "Where the hell is this in PvE?"

As controversial and lorebreaking as it may sound, I think Limit Break should be an individual meter for each player in PvE so it isn't hogged by the melee DPS 99% of the time.

The sheer lack of a basic heal is what gets me.

AST has a 2 charge Aspected Benefic that has a 15s recharge time. Sure there's double cast but that's not good enough. I've had moments where I needed to heal someone and couldn't because my "heal" as a healer was on CD.

Seraph strike comboing into Cure 3 is such a simple yet satisfying combo.
The limit break on WHM feels incredible too
This PVP ob redesign is like, what 7 unique buttons per class? But they feel so good to use!

Agree 100%. It was so nice to think, "I need a big heal, let me do big damage first."

I switch between AST and WHM right now because I can't choose between them. WHM has a big fun factor, and AST has some cool strategy options with its double-cast charges and macrocosmos.

I maxed out my tomestones for the week without realizing it while healing in PvP. I can't remember the last time I lost track of time in game because healing was so fun.
