Any word on SCH healing potency?

[Fernosaur]

I think part of the problem is that SCH are spamming physick all the way up to 50, when we get lustrate. And even then without quickened AF trait SCH's will get used to the habit of holding onto their stacks since the CD is so long for it pre-68.

The lower levels are meant to train you and get you ready for the higher levels but for SCH hitting 50 and then 68 means you have to change up your playstyle completely at each point. Meanwhile WHM's are getting useful training from lvl 1, and AST start at 30 and can already use their main features.

I'm sorry, but no.

I agree with Lustrate only coming until lvl 50, so our reliance on oGCD healing takes a while to arrive, but SCH has Eos and Selene literally from lvl 4. Any SCH can let their fairy do the healing job alone up until Stone Vigil, which requires more attention on the tank compared to other levelling dungeons even if the tank is going slow. Whispering Dawn comes early enough that you can use it in Sastasha, and you get Rouse just in time for Stone Vigil too.

The problem is, I think, that a lot of people start healing on WHM, and once they make the switch to SCH they try to play in the same fashion. There's also nothing in the game that really teaches you the possibilities of SCH's toolkit, so people who don't even read their tool tips have no idea how much of a healing powerhouse Eos is.

There's also the problem that, in order to really come to understand how powerful SCH's toolkit is, you gotta do a lot of mental math. New players won't realize Whispering Dawn can heal for so much under Rouse because there aren't that many hints in the game that would lead you to this end. It is usually through word of mouth that people learn these things, but Mentors offering advice is difficult because there's so many mentors who would rather flame newbies, and those of us who do want to help people learn are usually met with defensiveness.

It IS true that SCH is the least newbie-friendly healer, but that doesn't mean it needs potency buffs.

I guess a 100 potency buff to Physick wouldn't really make or break the game, but SCH's healing potencies are fine as they currently are.
