Revisiting the physick question

[Llugen]

I think the bigger issue is that SMN has physick and it's useless. Their goal was to remove button bloat, so instead of removing physick from SMN, they removed sustain, the healing skill that ACTUALLY worked.


When they reimplemented it, I was grateful (as were many), but what they should have done is have it be a SMN trait that upgrades Physick to Sustain. Boom, done. SMN doesn't need the ability to heal like RDM, but it DOES need the ability to maintain its own pet (particularly Titan-Egi). Which thankfully it has, but this is just my insight.


When I saw that they removed Sustain but KEPT Physick in the preliminary 4.0 patch notes, I thought to myself "there's just no way... they must have increased Physick's healing on the SMN's own Egi... or something", but sure enough, SE never fails to disappoint.
