Korean fan fest translation says ast changes balanced healers, do you agree?

Uh. I tried to quote Kyeria, but apparently some posts got deleted by Mods, so I will just try to do it like this...


I both agree and disagree with you. I disagree in that I still think Balance is too strong. Yes, WHM definitely needs something of its own. However, as said before, I feel Balance is much to strong a buff anyway and should be adjusted at least a little.

However, I agree that there are other factors as well. For one, fights are designed in a way that makes skills like Cure III superfluous. There is simply no need for it anywhere and as long as that stays this way, WHM will be undesirable. There are several ways to fix this. First, by giving WHM some buffs of its own, like stated above. Second, by designing fights in a way that makes damage buffs less desirable, e.g. by designing fights similar to Ifrit Ex or Leviathan Ex where overdamaging actually kills you. Also, phase skipping needs to go, imho. There is also the possibilty to design fights in a way that makes Cure III necessary, but that's the least desirable alternative for obvious reasons.

But I think this alone is still not enough. As I said above, it might be an unpopular opinion, but I really think the entire group-uitility system needs to be overworked, for all classes. There are, in my eyes, too many DPS-group buffs around, I think they should tone that back even though they probably won't do it. Or give everyone one, but I don't know...

Also, I agree with Semirhage on every point they made.

I don't know if I agree that Balance is too strong or if it's just that raw damage bonuses are too desirable on their own. I do however agree with you on everything else, but at this point, I guess we'll have to wait and see what they do with the expansion pack. Hopefully, some changes will be brought in to satisfy everyone and make positive changes with the jobs/abilities so no one is left out.

Kind of off topic; I do have to say, I'm a little disappointed my previous post was deleted as it had nothing offensive in it as well as a few other peoples with no explanation.

It most likely occurred because you quoted someone's post (or part of the offending chain) which was offensive and the mods decided to prune all the posts associated with it, unfortunately. And the post in question that was removed was certainly aggressive so don't take offense since it most likely wasn't you~
