Favorite healer change previewed for 5.0?

My favourite changes are probably Seraph and what she can do :D also the new crit shielding on SCH and how you have synergy with Nocturnal sect AST. Also the Lily Gauge on WHM. Misery looks like such a fun spell. I think Celestial Intersection and Neutral Sect look amazinggggg. I’m overall really excited for these 70-80 abilities. Not to mention the artifact gear for all three healers as well :)

Honestly, for me personally, there's not a whole lot to get excited about. I started off the healer disappointment with no new healer reveal, and then it continued once I found out about the AST and SCH changes (especially SCH).

If I am going out of my way to find something positive, it's the new cool looking animations for the jobs and the fact that WHM is kinda remaining mainly the same and they aren't being gutted like SCH is.

I like the jingly sound they're giving to AST's Celestial Intersection.

YES it will be SO helpful

Speaking of healing changes, why is that tiny little arrow needed? The one that shows you if someone needs to be healed? Was there a call for that I missed completely?

My favorites for each healer...

AST: New animations look amazing, Essential Dignity getting a second charge, and Neutral Sect seems crazy.
SCH: Dissipation auto-returning your fairy, another ability to use the faerie gauge (Fey Blessing), and Seraph looks sick.
WHM: Afflatus Misery looks cool and I like that they've moved to an all light/holy theme and ditched the rocks.

Apparently there are players who can't tell when a bar isn't full . . .

And you wouldn't be healing that in about 99% of all cases. I suspect there's some Savage/Ultimate mechanic that would require them being maxed (Or doom, but if you don't notice that doom is still up, no arrow will help with that), but in most cases that is *not* worth a heal.
