SCHOLARS REJOICE!
Quote:

Lustrate
HP recovered increased from 20% to 25%

Blizzard II
Potency reduced from 100 to 50, and bind effect increased from 4 to 8 seconds. Can now be used by all Disciples of Magic.

Sustain
consumes MP instead of HP

We get a new AOE with CC.
Quote:
The Away command has been added to the subcommand menu when selecting your pet.

When set to Obey and Steady, pets will only execute actions when commanded, and will remain in the Steady stance.

The faerie Eos will no longer automatically cast Whispering Dawn when set to Obey.

The faerie Selene will now use Fey Light when set to Sic.
Use Whispering Dawn at your will.

Quote:

The /macroicon (/micon) text command may now be used to display pet and companion action icons.

Add Embrace to your healing macro.

I cannot for the life of me fathom why this was deemed necessary.

But who cares! Woo!

Same, the balance between WHM and SCH was really good, I don't know why they would want to mess with that.

Yeah, hopefully thing patch won't change anything. I always loved WHM/SCH synergy.

They really giving Bliz 2 to all mages? Does it come with the MP regen? MP regen on all healers would be pretty damn stupid.

Lustrate boost helps with players with low HP to start with. Not really going to be a game breaker in terms of heals.

You only use lustrate in coil, and maybe a rare sacred soil. This equates to about another 900-1200 free heals throughout a minute. You never use lustrate on a person with lower hp unless it is to save them simply because it is more mp efficient to just heal them. Totally unnecessary change which WILL affect the near perfect balance that the WHM / SCH combo already had.

Too bad Omnilex is getting downgraded due to typos....

The Veil of Wiyu → The Veil of Wiyu Zenith
Omnilex+1 → Omnilex
Holy Shield+1 → Holy Shield Zenith

Virus is nerfed with Antibody, so it's important in the higher-level fights.

Probably because Cure III got buffed and Medica II got a longer duration.

Let's add to the fact that now pets are not affected by the poison in Aurum Vale and that one attack in Quarn \0/

Well, considering a typical top up from 10% HP to 80% of a tank requires all three aether flow, I would think that SE would make it so that we can top it off to 100% like what you with Benediction.

Right - because Benediction has the exact same CD as Lustrate (or Aetherflow in this case).
5 Mins vs 1 Min - in case you didn't know. :)

Yea, that would be a little insane, three 100% heals every minute? The one thing I'd like seeing would be a flat heal number for people with low health, cause sometimes I've used Lustrate and it heals less than Physick. But that'll never happen.

Um, WHMs got minor buffs as well. What's with the hate?

Hate? I haven't seen any hate =S It's just people happy about SCH buffs from what I've seen. As a WHM off healer I'm... interested in the WHM changes, curious to see if Cure III will be useful now. But as a SCH main I'm super excited that my fairy will actually obey me now, I have an AoE regen I can actually use! And an extra 5% per Lustrate? Sure! That's a total of 15% extra healing over three heals which is awesome.

I'm not really sure if I'll use macros for my fairy or not since I actually manually click Embrace 90% of the time while healing, and the cast time/recast time on Embrace conflicts with Physick, but I'm curious to see what people can come up with.
