Yoshi-P says WHM is getting a buff

I had a thought as to why. You have to consider other mechanics as well and tie them all together. In this case, the LB adjustment (to limit class stacking) and the introduction to Alliance content.

Here is what I figure: there will be an encounter in CT that does 300-500 damage to the entire alliance that needs to be offset by 2-3 Medica II hots. In another encounter, there will be a AoE knockback that deals significant damage to melee dps in an Alliance encounter and/or a mechanic that keeps casters away from melee, out of range of Medica, requiring the casting of Cure III to get their HP up after that damage.

Kinda makes you feel pigeonholed into specific ways to get through encounters.

An interesting scenario I thought of: (Phase 5 Titan, Tumult followed by WOTL)

(me) run in swiftcast Medica 2, other healer SCH or WHM does the same bam almost full HP's and then topped off by regen effects or if x2WHM then almost insta full HP's. Now this is nice because you can get in get out and cure all and not get hit by that WOTL.

Situation now is that you can still do the above but you will do less initial cure and be RELIANT on regen effect to mop up (seems risky but I have to play in Titan post patch to see for myself). So now it seems likely you will have to take an extra step to top players off. Some are talking about Cure III as the option but with its range and the raid on the move in preparation for WOTL its probably not gonna work. SO the obvious option is to follow with Medica 1 in most cases.

The thing to take away from this is that Medica 2 will be missed in high AoE damage situations and WHM's will have have to adapt to taking an extra step in healing.

I will top you up the whole group as solo healing SCH. Also your regen isn't completely removed, it just takes longer.
I don't see a problem in spam medica 2 now too, u guys totally forget that both tanks getting a increase in Emnity with this patch.

who still uses 2 healers in titan is my question

30s low potency HoT is useless with current fight mechanics. You can't just leave your party members with chunks of HP missing because 1 screw up or unexpected burst damage will kill them. Most boss mechanics rely on burst damage that requires you to be at full hp before the mechanic comes around again (like tumults).


What is going to happen: WHM mana management will be even worse than it already is due to needing to cast Medica I after Medica II every time. Or WHMs won't use Med II at all, and will instead use two Medica I's.



Don't tell me a 6y Cure III is supposed to make up for this. That's pretty much strictly for healing melee. Which is fine....but now Medica II might lose it's niche.


Also...why is Eos' regen stronger than Med II now? But whenever I ask for WHM to get some single target heal or mana management buffs people ridicule me.

The only saving grace is that it won't take too long to get SCH to level 50...

Because, titan stomps are every 30 secs.

Right so I'm gonna leave everyone at 80% hp so one of them can lag and die to plumes. Or wait around after Earthen fury so he can kill everyone with tumults which come quicker than 30s...

A lot of people I imagine..... also JP server player base generally don't do preformed primal groups we rock DF 90% so always 2 healers.

If a SCH can solo heal up the group, a WHM can do it even better. But yea, the Regen is the problem...
Pls don't even think about re-rolling SCH before you played your whm a little bit more. Your Achievement tell me, that you just done the class quest on 24.11.2013. So you aren't even playing a month a WHM.
So i'm 100% sure, you don't know how to heal trough harder content.
