Favorite Healer animation spells

A lil fun topic to blow off our healer steams maybe I thought.

Whm = Aero 3 , Stone IV(that back breaking sound), (lb 3)(i chant spirit of aerith bless us (final fantasy 7) it is her animation when she was praying for holy before sepiroth killed her which is whm LB3. holy (the boom sound) Fluid aura(the splash sound souns like someone giving another a heck of a slap. Assize because the graceful ness of it

Ast= malefic 2(its like a satellite beam falling) celestial opposition(super nice when it use to do stuns in hw and stun) Time dilation(sounded like you cast haste) (lb 3) my lil speech when casting it was aaaaaaaaaassstttttttttttral sttttttttttttassis!!!!! (anime geek wise lol) collective uncon earth star when it explodes on the right time that the whole team needs some serious health and it hits all the party. Old storm blood aoe card spread effects (spear the most giving icy sounds)

Sage= tbh like everything of sage cept e prog that makes that wierd whoop sound when casted can be touch up abit

Sorry uh...not a fan of sch so cant say really

Assize. Both the actual cast animation and the spell animation. Amazing. Definitely top tier.

Also Blood Lily. And I like Glare 3 a lot too.

- Luminferous Aether
- Spread/Hold Card
- Tetragrammaton
- Time Dilation
- Temperance
- Aero III

I really love the animation + sound effects of these skills, but I also like the sound when succor applies to 8 targets. :D

Funny enough, I despise WHM LB3 because, to me, it's so basic and generic. I even jokingly call it "Medica III"

AST's, on the other hand, is the most majestically blinding light show. Actually, I'd even say I like every single animation/spell effect from AST since I always liked tarot and star themes (but with the gutting of cards, that dumb seal system, and removal of noct, the job is dead to me)

I love Afflatus Misery. It may just be a big pinkish red flower but I love how my screen gets a reflection blur when I chuck it. Feels meaty as heck.

WHM Assize, Stone IV

SGE pretty much anything honestly

AST Earthly Star

SCH this one seems low key in everything but I guess Deployment Tactics is always enjoyable.

WHM - Assize, Stone III, Stone IV, Aero III, Holy III, Glare, Rapture, & Misery.

AST - Earthly Star, Opposition, Intercession, Sleeve Draw, Draw, Divination, Exaltation, & Macrocosmos.

SCH - Shadowflare, Excogitation, Indomitability, Sacred Soil, Fey Blessing, Seraph/Consolation, Deployment Tactic, Emergency Tactic, & Expedient.

SGE - Kerachole, Haima (Shame Cube :p), Panhaima, & Pneuma.

Not much from SGE’s arsenal sadly. Mecha-aesthetic has never been a thing to me.

- Luminferous Aether
- Gravity II

- Expedient

Uhh...Divine Benison.

SGE - Zoe, Haima, Druochole, Ixochole, Dosis II
SCH - Deployment Tactics, Excogitation, Recitation, Sacred Soil
AST - Collective Unconscious, Macrocosmos, Horoscope Helios, Exaltation, Astrodyne
WHM - Liturgy of the Bell, Glare I, Asylum, Assize, Plenary Indulgence, Aquaveil

My favorite Healer animation is the Job change animation into another Role.

Stone 3 - Honestly the most statisfying spell
Aero 3 - Miss it :(
Broil 1 - Something about it idk
Malefic 2 - Srsly love the star bomb and the sound
Assize - GOD TIER

My friend that is a good one!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

There were three things that I loved about Astrologian. The stars, the cards, and the shields. As of now, AST has only one of those remaining. Sure, the cards are technically still "there" but they lack the identity and skill expression that they once had. I was a SCH main in ARR, so using shields with AST felt natural to me. And given that Global Cooldown healing spells are barely used these days, I don't see the point in taking away the option to use shields.

As for specific animations, Gravity always stood out as the most satisfying for me. I still prefer it over Gravity II. I also want to give an honorable mention to AoE Balance. Maybe not the most interesting visually, but the audio was impactful, contrary to Divination. Even when I am the AST of the party (for the rare cases when I decide to use it) I may find myself needing to double check to make sure Divination went off.

Aero 3 and Stoneskin.
I will never forgive SE for removing them.

Combust 3.

Malefic 3.

Astral Stasis (AST lb3).

Stone 3.

Icarus.

Assize.

Broil.
