Healer Adrenaline Rush should be changed

After playing a number of games in Frontlines Slaughter, I realized that the healer Adrenaline Rush isn't very good. While party-wide ailment removal is useful, it will not prevent any further ailments for the suceeding seconds especially when the opposing team is spamming sleep/freeze. When it comes to the healing part or the spell, it's not useful at all. Due to the casting delay, by the time the spell is finished casting, it's either most of the people in your party already have a full hp or they are dead. In comparison, a tank's AR mitigates some damage for a few seconds, melee's AR is 1 hit kill most of the time, while a caster's is an AoE that deals 50% of your max hp.

My suggestion is either of the following:
1. Change the 50% instant healing to X healing over time - this would make the healing part a lot less of a waste.
2. Change the ailment removal to ailment immunity over a period of time - this would make the spell more useful especially when being spammed by crowd control.

The instant healing factor is a critical recovery tool to large AoE Damage currently in Frontlines, take that away and Cometeor spam loses one of its hard counters. Rather, we could reduce the healing effectiveness to 30% instantly and have an additional 20% returned over time.

And instead of flat out removing the Esuna-all effect to the Limit break in turn for immunity, have it provide a heightened resistance to status effects over time. I would say a 30-50% chance to outright resist a debuff while the regen effect is active should be sufficient.

Thanks! Sorry I didn't know.

This would make a huge impact on the game still and make healer LBs very prominent, enabling healers to effectively command Melee charges on the enemy team after a volley of attacks that weakened the party. It's effects can still be countered by a well timed Melee Limit break against a chosen target, but it will help alleviate some o the tension to the chain CC locking actively rather than passively.

However this now gives the healer the choice to use the skill pro-actively or re-actively, as per the two styles of healers we generally have in game. It's good to that those sorts of options.

Your suggestion are much better than mine!

Or we could make it like succor. To prevent wasted healing. I actually curious to how it fills. I have had matches where it takes forever to fill and then other times have it fill in less then 30 seconds.

Also could consider AOE raise. In slaughter its not the same as secure. Where infact having the bodies up means you can score more points.

Healing lb is already annoy for smn cause all dots get removed and most of our damage came from the dots.

I think that the current limit break is adequate as is.
The esuna-all effect is exceedingly useful.

It is a Cometeor counter, and Summoner counter. No other limit break really has that much impact!

The only limitation and issue I have with it is that; the recharge time is unfair. As is the entire Slaughter mode meta for healers. We don't benefit from battle high, buffs or anything.
A buffed Caster can spam Cometeor with the adrenaline boosts, but the healer LB charges at least 25% slower.

I can see why though, it'd be boring if everyone was able to survive all the time!

As for "Heightened Resistances" way to make tank obsolete :P

Until I read this I had no idea that the healer limit break was a global Esuna and heal.
