A(nother) Secret of the Lily Rework Thread

[Sylvain]

Just because the proposed lili would proc of dps skill, this (or anything remotely close) won't happen.

As much as I don't agree entirely with Kisai, the first thing she says is true regarding SE view of what a healer should do.

I don't think it's that they don't want us to dps, but they don't want to force us to dps. In other words, they won't include a mechanic that enhance your healing if you dps.

What you propose is that, if you want more heals, you better spam those rocks. And this definitely goes against healer's design in this game.
There isn't a single mechanic among the 3 healers that rewards dps with more healing. In fact it's usually the contrary, dpsing might reduce your healing output, but never the opposite.

Any lilie proposition involving dps skill is, imo, useless and a waste of time.

I mean they're not dumb, they know that if they'd do something rewarding healer dps (with something else than the dps itself) people would consider this gameplay as mandatory. (even tho it's somewhat already the case)
If you could consume lilies to shoot a dps skill, no one would use lilies on anything else
If you could always draw the king of the crowns, you'd be frowned up for using the lady
If Selene could attack, people would kick you for using Eos

There's a reason healer have no proper dps mechanic or anything rewarding you for dpsing.
The only reason we get new dps skill (usually single target) is to solo content.

Healer dps is seen as optional. (damn even Y.P had to say "I would like to remind people that healer first role is to heal in raid and that boss are deisgned around healer doing no damage at all")
So anytime you propose something for healer, be mindful of that.

The best you could get is a dps mechanic boosting another dps mechanic. But a dps mechanic enhancing your healing capacity, nope. At least not until they change their mind and consider healer should dps.


Personally, if they were to ever do something remotely close to a dps gauge for WHM, it would be separated from the lilies.

Like "thorns" or something.
