What Role Skills would you like to see for Healers?

[Saraphin]

Can Esuna just be baseline already?...

Well, each one did have their own version of Esuna...pre-SB...and I think all healers would like that back.

Repose - Single target sleep (if crowd control is going to be a thing all healers should have it)

Crowd Control lately, as far as I've seen, was limited to PotD and a little bit in Eureka...we may see it again in Heaven on High. I mean, those are literally the only possible places and even then, it's rare and depends on what shows up in your Crawls in PotD. Even Brayflox you don't use Repose. Eureka, get aggro'd, Sleep the target and haul pixel-butt. that simple.

As for what I'd like: Protect back to WHM (or make it a stupid trait for the healers. we really truly don't need to waste this gcd do we?), E4E back to SCH, everyone gets their Esuna back...and then work from that baseline of what is needed.

I'd say let's fix the current cross role actions first before thinking about new one.

If they do, we'll have more place for things like rescue, surecast, cleric stance, eye for an eye.

this :O

the devs should make up their mind if they want to give us a system where we get all the mandatory skills we need or a system where we can choose between different skills.

"choosing" between mandatory skills is just a joke.

E4E back to SCH

See I could understand why they made it a healer support action, but to do that and NOT change the cooldown to match SCH's Deploy Tact is just ridiculous. It's a similar thing with PLD, all tanks have access to Rampart but only PLD has an action (Intervention) that benefits from having Rampart. SE really need to make sure job actions aren't linked to having certain cross role actions, then you kinda either can't use an action with an enhanced effect or you have to take the role skill.

That is the problem, they left the 'attached traits'...so just give them back to the classes, please. put them in the CR for the others, but....give it to the native class...well natively. I get the "button Bloat" thing, but when you do something like what they did with CRs...it becomes a bit of a Fluster Cluck, and you have plenty of dissatisfied players.

There've been a lot of little things that over the course of the last year we've been able to really figure out when it comes to what SE was trying to do and what wasn't good, isn't good and all we can do is give information.

Remove Apoc from Ranged Casters and give it to us as Shell. Remove Break to free up the slot.

I just want an Aoe with Esuna, the second boss in Great library is a PITA...
Most of the time I see tank and dps don't dodge any Aoe at all...
I can't Esuna everyone while keep healing the damage from all the Aoe, and the debuff make them too slow to move while the boss turns.

I’d actually like to see eye for an eye get buffed, it’s rather difficult to use in its current state given that it’s only a 20% chance to proc on physical damage taken only, within a 20 second window, all that for a 10% damage reduction. Really not even worth setting when we have mandatory skills like largesse, swiftcast, lucid, protect and esuna. Which is a shame when it’s a move that has direct synergy with one of scholar’s skills.

I’d rather see it changed to be more like a targeted mini version of warrior’s vengeance. Reduce the targets damage taken by 10% and add counter attacks spreadable by deployment tactics.

Essentially sounds like Radiant Shield but without the suggested damage reduction. Maybe a shield that complies damage and at the end restores a set amount of health to anyone with the buff, up to a certain percentage to prevent it being OP, so kind of like a much weaker Excog on multiple allies.

That was the idea sch would contrast smn. Where radiant shield is counter attacks + vun up on the enemy, deployment tactics would be counter attacks + vun down on the target.

It’s counter attacks in final fantasy record keeper so it’s strange that it’s not in the actual game it came from.

Repose - If they were going just rip abilities from WHM they should have taken Repose... I know it's not that useful in most places, but isn't that what optional actions should be?

Decoy - Basically a party targeted provoke; raise the target party members enmity to your level for all engaged enemies and prevent enmity generation (for self) for a few seconds

AoE Esuna - Esuna should be baseline, AoE Esuna on the other hand would be a nice option

Lethargy - oGCD slow and heavy

Vanish - 100% enmity drop and breaks engagement, but prevents actions for a few seconds

Charge - 50% chance for 5-10% MP gain, short cooldown, instant cast (so takes a GCD).

Barrier - Absorbs a single hit of up to 100% of your max HP. oGCD, long cooldown, self only (for those times when you can see it coming but don't have time to stop and heal / shield yourself)

Actions that should be replaced:
Protect - If it's going to be a thing, every healer should get their own version built in.
Esuna - Every healer should have their own version built in.
Lucid Dreaming - Each healer (and caster for that matter) should have their own MP gain mechanic.
Break - ...
Cleric Stance - IMO this should go back to WHM largely as it was in HW; i.e. make switching stances for increased healing / damage what WHM is all about.
Largesse – Again, IMO this should go back to WHM (and back to 30%), with each other healer getting their own tailored version (if needed).

Actions that can stay:
Swiftcast, Surecast, Eye for an Eye, Rescue
