I think, looking at what we know about the current skills released, the end line of "which healer composition will be preferred" will come down to raid design. If raid busting damage is light and tank busters are all physical (like most tank busters in FCoB), Supervirus will mean very little in the grand scheme of things. Likewise, if we get a few attacks similar to Gigaflare / Auto-Crit Nerve Gas coming up, Supervirus will be very useful for that. I wouldn't be surprised if S-E designed all the Alex floors to be more beneficial to certain healing pairs versus other (but still clearable by any pair required).

We'll also have to see where the synergies are and how all the new skills mesh with each other. Will AST + SCH shield stacks? Will Disable + Supervirus stack? Will Disable provide an immunity after use to prevent double AST shenanigans? Will Antibody prevent Disable from working? Sacred Soil + AST version of Sacred Soil stack? Etc etc.

Notice how a lot of points above are questions about SCH + AST synergies. WHM is very bread and butter in the grand scheme of things and has an overall lower skill ceiling versus a SCH (and thus a lower potential). However, if SCH + AST don't synergize well, the go pair may just very well be WHM + ???.

Time will tell, and I'm sure we'll all figure out the strengths and weaknesses of each job once level 60 hits the table this week.

Still waiting for any proof from your other threads / posts BTW~ When you can articulate your arguments like Sleigh and Velox can, then we might take you more seriously. Until then, good bye/

Yes.
