WHat new healer spell you want to see in the expansion?

[BLaCKnBLu3B3RRY]

well, something else i wouldn't mind seeing is more healing capability for fairies. i don't personally play content like Coil. and haven't played a 24man with SCH. but i can tell you that a SCH can get by without their fairy in some 8man, many lv50 4mans and almost all low-level instances. with that being said i think fairies need some improvement.

Embrace.
one of the most terrible healing spells i have ever seen. its re-cast is too long, its range too short, its potency too small. and NO additional effects. absolutely zero balance between this healing spell and a SCH's own Aldoquium, aside from it being automated. the range should be slightly further then the standard healing spell. as it is you actually have to get a step or two closer then your default range, which IMO is disadvantageous. and if it's going to have a crap re-cast, then it needs something else too. more potency or an additional effect.



off-topic : it would also be nice to see fairies move in range of the player on their own. WITHOUT having using the Place command. obviously there should be some limitations, though. we wouldn't want the thing running completely to the other side of the encounter zone.

well, something...

This is a meaningless point. It doesn't matter if they can do runs without their fairies or don't need them.

They make low level runs cake, and take burden off of you and the other healer in the party.

I main SCH (account is mainly used by my brother who mains WHM) and I would never think about doing something without my Fairies, or think about the fact that I don't need them.

Embrace

Embrace is actually incredibly powerful. But you seem to have a tendency of not understanding the game or what the fairies are actually there for so I'll help you understand.

1. Free healing. Has no MP cost. This alone makes it powerful.

2. Isn't connected to GCD. This along with number one makes potency irrelevant.

3. Isn't cast by the player. You stating players have to move because of the range makes no sense, the fairy moves not the player.

4. Doesn't tie-up the player. While it is being cast/on cooldown the player can still do things because they aren't the one who cast it.

5. Its automated (as you've stated). In low level dungeons and other content you can rely on your fairy to heal so you can DPS.

Giving Embrace an additional effect would almost break SCH. A free healing, that doesn't activate GCD, isn't cast by the player and is automated with a bonus effect? Right.

"absolutely zero balance between this healing spell and a SCH's own Aldoquium" I don't understand this line at all.
