5.0: How will SE screw us over this expansion?

[HyperiusUltima]

SCH
- Passive: Fairy Aggro
If Selene is not swapped out for Eos in 30s, Eos will forcefully disappear and you will have to resummon again.

I would not mind seeing whm go solid healing with the absolute minimal dps. Give other jobs tied in cooldowns for dmg mitigation or healing bonuses like pally has to some extent. Then other classes if grouped with whm can prioritize dps skills rather than healing cooldowns or if grouped with ast or sch will have to forgo some dps skills to help them heal themselves. Now it is not just the healers that have to dance back and forth if we dont want to. Pure healing class for whm is the best option imo.

Feels like we have a winner. Rip whm forever if they actually did this...and kind of all classes (now that i'm thinking about it) if the other healers aren't strong enough to take care of healing duties w/o a white mage.

Wait wait wait. The thread was about how the healers would be screwed over, and not one person here brings up the idea of AST Balance's effect being completely changed from +% damage?

(Controversy alert: they should, for obvious reasons.)

SCH and AST are SE' little baby, no harm will ever come to them. Might as well rename this thread to "How will they screw over WHM".

WHM loses Thin Air to Role Skills. Cleric Stance becomes a Native WHM ability with the punishing Stance Swapping we all remember. They are somehow the only class that uses TP with no synergy with anything in the next expansion. They have the coolest gear sets but no one allows them in any party for any reason. SE finally announces they have always secretly hated WHM and hoped we would take the hints to quit using it but have finally had enough. WHM is now an Alchemist upgrade Job Crystal that specializes in Salt Potions.

WHM loses Thin Air to Role Skills.

That and Assize, Benediction and PoM. And they nerf Cure III to the ground.

Cleric Stance becomes a Native WHM ability with the punishing Stance Swapping we all remember.

With a 90-seconds cooldown, that can't be reduced by lillies.

For Scholar:
Fairy is deleted, Indomitability and Excogitation are now less potency than Physick. Miasma and Bio removed, replaced with on Physick II and Adloquium II. Broil II no longer deals damage, instead inflicts +5% slow (that was the most pathetic effect I could think of lol). Miasma II is replaced with another damage reduction ability (like Sacred Soil). Energy Drain no longer deals damage and doesn’t restore MP.

Bonus: Fairy is not deleted, but Physick is reduced to 300 potency to compensate for Embrace.

So yeah, everything that makes people play Scholar has been removed, please look forward to it!

That'll teach you to stack you scrubs.

Tfw even SE cannot unironically imagine so great a calamity with which to plague WHM as our own playerbase...

No u.

WHM
- Gains a job crystal upgrade to change to White Wizard.

White Wizard
- Passive: Haters gonna Hate
All healing and abilities generate tank enmity. If you gain Boss hate, it will gain a Damage Buff called #DeleteWHM, increasing damage vs. Healers by 300% while healing itself by 100% HP.

- Gone With the Wind
Upon cast of Aero III, you generate a Twister on yourself and die.

-Dust to Dust
Every time WHM casts Stone V, you must top the entire raid off in 1 GCD or die from lack of DPS.

SCH
- Fairy can now revive the party for free.
- Gains a buff called Celestial Synergy when paired with an AST, increasing shielding by 50%.

AST
- Cards now always apply to party.
- Lord now destroys any WHM and revives them as a SCH.
