...nonsense...

Talk about a troll....

Anyways. the probability is of 20% chance of getting a confession is like 1 of 5 cures. And the more cures over 5 you output the more chances of at least getting 1 and potentially more. so lets just be funny and say RNG shits on us every pull each pull always and we only get 1 confession every 10 cures (half of the listed probability). That would mean an effect recast time of 10 gcds (20sec- 25 sec recast). that's still a 400 minimum potency with a 20-25 sec recast, ogcd, centered off the target for 30 yalms.... it will reach everybody..... (even if the tank is 6 yalms directly in front of the party that's still 24 yalms effective aoe around the party.. basically the same as medica ii 25 yalm radius).

So yea that is a very reliable skill IFF PI is the only utility that consumes confessions. ( And the confession stack last 30 sec so u can most definitely prep it pre pull the way we stack buff now b4 a pull.)

Mind you this is all on top of the cures we still have and asylum and medica and assize and tetragram and Benny.....so hardly (just on the basis of ability in a vaccum) is SE telling us to go play AST/SCH


EDIT
FOR YOU NERD OUT THERE!!! the probability of landing AT LEAST 1 confession out of 5 attempts given a 20% success rate is 67% chance; getting at least 1 out of 10 attempts jumps your chances up to 89%; and finally getting at least 1 out of 12 attempts is 93% chance!! 67% is a bit meh... but anything upward of 80% is dependable. And the gcd cost for 80%+ reliability is 20-30 sec [effective recast of the ability].

Yes anything less than 100% is not SCRIPT rotation reliable and min/max'ers will complain about SE adding more RNG to the game (but RNG is good in the form of dynamic play. Rather than a static test of how well you can memorize a sequence then execute).

Wrong things.

Do you know how it works the ability?

The ability works that when you use it. It heals for the amounts of Confession stacks a person has. If the tank is the only one that has Confession stacks, it will be the only one that gets healed. It's not an AoE heal. The AoE is for triggering the ability. 30 yards means that if the tank that has Confession stacks is 31 yards far from you, it won't get healed.

That's how bad it is the ability. It's not an AoE heal. It's only a heal that you will use on the tank because the rest of the party will get healed with Medica and Medica II.

LOL THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE DEAD SET ON BEING RIGHT SO YOU CAN BASH SOMEONE ELSE...... I'll be nice....re read the tool tip please..... it CLEARLY states "Restores HP of ALL NEARBY PARTY MEMBERS..."

There is no potency for 0 Confession stacks. 0 stacks = 0 healing.

He's arguing it's not going to see use as an AoE because the only person you are likely to be building (and maintaining) stacks on is the main tank (at best). He certainly isn't wrong, based on how encounters are healed right now.

[Iepuras]

The only instances where a range would be left out of the 30 yalm AOE are when the boss's diameter is 12 yalms wide and the tank is max melee range of 1 yalm in front of the boss and the range is more than 17 yalms from the boss's hitbox, directly opposite the MT. And in most CURRENT scenarios (if such raid scenarios persist into the future) that Range was fixing to die anyways or use personal CDs. )

Forget the range of the skill. It has no range cool. It has a range we'll just move. The important part of it is the stacks. No stacks = no heals. The stacks will also fall off if not refreshed. There isn't enough time to cast cure/cure2 on everyone to try and build stacks. It wastes MP and focused healing on people that do need it. So, when the time that comes to actually use the skill there will be maybe at most 4 people.

Now, ALL healing spells gave stacks that would be a game changer.

I'm glad you know how to use the CAPS. Next step is learning to read tooltips. Let me teach you.

Tooltip: Restores HP of all nearby party members. Potency varies with current Confession stack.

1 Confession: 400 Potency
2 Confessions: 500 Potency
3 Confessions: 600 Potency


If a target doesn't have any confession stacks they won't get healed. Gasp.

Snip

Stop. You are embarrasing yourself. I'm going to explain it to you how it works because you haven't understood anything at all.

Imagine a 30 yard medica.
Imagine that medica only healed targets that had at least 1 Confession Stack

That's how it works the ability. I've nothing else to discuss. Check on other sources, it is what it is.
