Healer adjustment in 4.05

[Fawkes]

Why do we keep seeing this "no shield for 65 lvls" crap, its only 16 lvls after AST gets one... Do people just forget AST doesnt unlock Noct til lvl 50?

So what? Most of the content in the game is 50-60 stuff. What do ASTs have to complain about?

Maybe you and me read the content lists differently, but 1-49 has vastly more, and by the time you have a 50 AST 50 content is outgeared simply by merit of having acquired well beyond making the content irrelevant gear before you can have a 30 AST. But theres an entire of segment of content that exists where only SCH have shields. And entire slew of content before that where theres a lack of non conj aoe heals. Between Quests, Fates, Guildleves, Company Leves, Hunt Log, Hunt Bill Marks, and Beast Tribes, most content is 1-49. Heck theres not even 59-70 adeventurer leves in the game skewing it even further in favor of lowbie.

Hey, did you know? Stoneskin was cross-classable, and availabe at what again? Early 30's? So basically exactly when needing shields becomes a thing. I got some of the old dungeons during leveling roulettes lately, and they have not been very fun without Stoneskin. But what do I even know, it's been a horrible skill anyway even in that content!

I've been leveling WHM on my alt because it is hands down my favorite healer class now, and low level dungeons feel exactly the same without SS.

WHM is way better than people give it credit for. The only thing that is off imo is DB eating all lilies and PI... and thats getting fixed.
