let's share some impression on new patch

The great:
The Item sort!! so happy!
The roulette
Crystal Tower

The good:
The new dungeons
The cute cat and dog minions
PvP (to my big surprise)

The bad:
No housing
Putting Fates in many quests (lazy and awful. wait for 40min for a pop is NOT fun)
Changes to my main job Scholar and my subjob Bard... but will get used to it

Weirdly enough I hear nobody talking about CT...anyone here ran it yet? How's it to heal, with the tools we have (or lack) now?

haha CT us just a big mess for healers, everything is so spread out, with poison in the middle.

you spend a lot of time running around trying to find someplace safe within reach of your guys, but the healing isn't bad in itself.

I think it will be hard to judge until we get more used to it.
The best part was being in one of the first groups in, and trying to figure it out.

Uh yeh had that "pleasure" for PS, but doubt I will for CT, seen how for me it's terribly hard to put 8 persons together and odds are a lot of people already did it by the time I get it.
And your words are not reassuring *_* Though what you say seems a lot like PS first boss, except that's sure much easier....not sure I wanna heal big groups with these skills <.<

Tbf they probably nerfed Medica 2 so double WHM stacking of the regen wasn't so lol worthy. I think Cure 3 has been put in a better place now and makes sense for a lot of controlled fights, hell T4 emergency override aoe just stack > cure 3, fireballs in T5 > cure 3, ADS tank swaps (will be within 6 yalms) > cure 3 top both tanks instantly. The fact that it has such a nice potency is good, people just need to get used to actually controlling a group properly to encourage using Cure 3.

The overall aoe situation is far better for WHM than SCH anyway right now, with only 1 heal on a minimal potency that causes conflicts with our other shield ability and can't be stacked with a second SCH. (This isn't to suggest SCH are weak, but I think they are both in good places right now).

I don't think anyone wouldn't agree with you in that the changes are not as bad as we thought and with good communication are quite nice. That doesn't solve the problem that we have MP issues if we are supposed to use Cure III as a go to AoE heal now. It's by far not ok to add a proc that is linked to a spell that we already mostly cast on another proc. Noone in their right mind will or can spam Cure II to force a Cure III proc. They should either increase the proc % on Cure II or put it back to what it was and instead adjust SoS accordingly.

As soon as I discovered Selene will alternate Fey Glow and Fey Light now, it became my favorite patch ever.

I canceled automatic renewal after logging in and finding out they made the pet commands even more convoluted than they were before
They've had three months to figure out a functional pet command system and this is what they come up with??

Can't we have like
Stance to attack(embrace) and use skills
Stance to attack(embrace) but not use skills
Stance to not attack(including embrace) or use skills
Sic to change pet's attack target while still obeying stance rules
Able to order the use of skills regardless of stance, without changing the stance

I'm still learning the new dungeons but I am not at all unhappy with the changes to WHM. I will just need to communicate more for my cure III usage like stated below because I was having trouble with it and still wish it was a 10y radius. I will take what I can get however. Here's a question for everyone: Is there an option that you can turn on in your character config that will show the radius of your own heals? That would help with judging distance in an emergency for many healers imo. When I get all panicked is when I make errors in judgement (as do many others). I just want to be able to utilize Cure III outside of stacking moments is all.
