Whm receives multiple nerfs , Sch gets buffed

[Euphe]

Med II isn't a nerf it's to help us with aggro control; Cure III needed the radius increase and it's nice they added in the halved mana cost proc. It complements Cure I and Cure II almost perfectly. Although it's still going to be highly situational it will most likely heal melee now instead of having us guess at it and miss... The old Holy will be missed but it will still have its uses in dungeons. As for Virus nerf; that sucks pretty badly and I'm guessing the Lustrate boost is to help compensate for that. All in all; us healers (as a whole) made out pretty well in this patch IMO. Just keep in mind that it could have gone WAY worse; just look at some of the other changes to the other classes.

Can you provide a source link? I want to read the whole thing.

costs around cure 2 mana cost with the proc effect ,but heals 500 potency compared to cure 2 650 potency. So i wouldn't call it perfect complementing.

Yep i get hate just from using medica and regen only.

Looks like I'll be removing Holy from my hotbar and replacing it with Cure III. Thanks for putting me in an even smaller box, Yoshi. I mean if you're going to make Holy suck, at least reduce the MP cost accordingly.

Let the reign of the Scholar begin. *bow*

What the hell are you smoking to think a Holy nerf means Scholars are better? 5% on a Lustrate is nowhere near the buff you just got on the Medica II and Cure III. Quit whining. WHM will still be the overall power healer.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the hate that a WHM has when a party member has regen on and gets aggro from a mob. Is now going to be worse with it lasting 30 sec.

Lustrate will be healing a full ilvl 90 warrior (around 9k hp) for about 2250 . That is a cure 2 crit. Why are you undervaluing lustrate?

Cure3 is still completely useless in most fights even with this buff and medica 2 has been changed into a use once every 30 second spell(compared to precast before aoe for higher overall hps for less mana)

That's a real shame. I just finished getting my White Mage to 50 (despite what the forum says, it seems to be a little behind) and now it looks like, rightly or wrongly, no one will want to play with me when I get to endgame content (even if they're wrong just look at how people are saying that WHM is so much worse off now).

I'm not sure why WHM needed a nerf anyway, they're still the only caster class without unlimited MP.

Nooo just because we got nerfed doesn't mean we are suddenly useless lolwhm. We are very capable to heal every encounter. Healing is easy. Its just getting nerfed sucks! especially when the other healer is getting buffs xD.

Also SE are punishing class stacking with penalty to limit break generation . So 1sch 1 whm generally will be the pt setups. Maybe if you didn't have a bard double sch would be better but still manageable with good play.

If you are good at playing a healer then you will be invited. So far no content in this game is so hard that people are losing spots because they aren't optimal class(except maybe warrior tanks ahaha).

They have the choice to remove regen before they pull agro.

You guys are nuts if you think this hurts WHM significantly in endgame.
You weren't using cure 3 before anyway. Holy is still strong, not that you were every using it much in coil/HM primals anyway. The medica 2 change won't end up doing much either.
