Favorite healer change previewed for 5.0?

AST. I really like all of the new actions despite the changes to the card's effects

Summon Seraph sounds like it’ll be cool. I just hope it’s actually worth using and that I won’t just be throwing Excogitation up and spamming Broil III.
Art of War seems cool, I do like having a new aoe because Miasma II got a bit boring lol, I’m excited to see the animations .
Also Sacred Soil actually being viable sounds amazing, it’s always been one of my favourite abilities but it’s never really been able to stand up to Indomitability/Energy Drain
Honestly I hope we maybe get to use Physick now, I’ve always thought it was the best looking of the healing spells but it’s not even worth having on your hotbar at the moment lol. Maybe with MP and Fairy changes it’ll at least be worth considering

They just re-used the Aura Blast animation and effect from PvP. Frame for frame. Go to Wolves Den Pier right now and try it out. You'll get to see what you will be spamming in dungeons for the next 2 years.

If you say so. I think it looks like your character is picking up a quarter they found on the ground.

Glad Energy Drain has been removed from SCH entirely. Less glad SMN has to use it now. In general though I like the SMN/SCH split they did this expansion. And SE went ahead and fixed a few holes in the levelling curve so all healers are capable for old content too, which is really nice.

I agree, while its value as an excess stack dumper might need to be reassessed (Personally, I'd do a Recharge/Sublimation skill that gives you a chunk of mp and extra fae guage) having that ability effectively put a cost on your healing ogcds.

Bleh

Not that Aura Blast isn’t cool, but reusing animations is never good lol

For SCH - I like anything that improves interaction with the fairy and the fairy gauge. But what stands out the most is the Embrace nerf, which is a healthy change that needed to happen.

I'm excited for the insta-q's we'll be getting for the foreseeable future.
