RIP WHM

[mp-please]

HP mitigated is HP that doesn't need to be healed. Just because it's not necessary doesn't mean it doesn't have value.

I didn't said it had no value, i said that it works both ways around. As long damage doesn't go over hp values and there is no incoming damage in the next 2 gcds, any healer can outheal any buster.


Lets assume every no-tank party member has 20k hp and no crits (lets leave rng out of this, values slightly bloated to take fairy in consideration).

Aoe buster drops in and deals 18k dmg.
SCH uses deployment and shields everyone for 4k hp. +Adlo +Deployment tactics
That's 14k that still needs to be healed. +Emergency tactics +Succor +Indomitability +1 aether stack
Roughly 9k hp got healed in 2 gcds, lets have the co-healer/fairy/hots handle the rest.

Adlo+deployment precast for 4k mitigated + 9k healed in 2 gcds for 2386 mp + 1 aether stack and 5 skills used. (energy drain has a rough 900 mp return so we can consider 3286 mp was used)

Again the same buster drops in and deals 18k dmg.
WHM uses divine seal + cure III.
8k damage healed. 10k to go. +Divine seal +Cure III
8k damage healed. 2k to go. +Cure III
Hots/cohealer/fairy can handle the rest

16k damage healed with 3 skills, 1 precast, 3358 mp used.

Literally the same thing, mitigation can only be considered superior if we have a party with 20k hp and buster deals 22k damage for example. Also not doing for AST cause id have to do for diurnal and nocturnal. Should be pretty similar to both above anyways.

This is also what kills WHM, SCH shouldn't be able to heal a buster in 2 gcds even though it uses more ogcd skills and then we have the fights that give you 3 more more gcds to top everyone off even making the heal check more lax to non whm healers.
This was actually balanced on 2.x since succor wasn't able to heal everyone off (no ET), indo didn't exist and you couldn't shield everyone off in 2 buttons.
