It's official, SCH/WHM have two DPS spells from level 6-80

You'd have to be delusional to think that the battle system is going to change much in the flow of incoming damage to compensate for this nonsense.

A sizeable population of healers already struggle to heal what happens now in casual/midcore content with the ridiculously powerful toolkits we have, and that's without them even touching the DPS side of the toolkit. Increasing incoming damage won't make that easier.

Management has caved in the ceiling because people complained about flickering lightbulbs.

Imagine playing Healer because you want to dps and not just playing a DPS job.

Imagine wanting to level healer and not being able to kill mobs.

Imagine thinking people won't be able to kill mobs.

To the OP of this post White mage is getting even more DPS. Why are you complaining that it's the same? Did you not actually see what White mage can do now?

No wonder SE doesn't listen to people because you guys complain about every single thing and go off on these wild ideas that is by no means going to be close to reality.

EDIT: OP doesn't know what they are talking about in the slightest. WHM is going to have more than 2 DPS skills. None of them are being taken away and only more are being added. I do hope you do better in Mathbot than here.

Glare (stone), Dia (aero), and a strong AOE move every 90s or so gotten late in their leveling cycle?

You are going to have downtime as a healer. It's unavoidable, especially as you gear. From a gameplay perspective, would you rather fill that downtime spamming 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 for 30 sec until you can refresh Dia or actually have a few abilities and utility to alternate?

Isn't Aero III being removed?

[Vivian_Vex]

Huh, I guess I missed that. However even with that it is still a net gain.

I'm sure the changes will be fine at level 80 since they're tuning fights to fit the new kit. Maybe increase auto attack damage from raid bosses and overall raidwide damage so healers have to spend more time healing rather than damaging? Who knows. All I know is that a ton of people on this forum are being rabid over something they haven't played yet.

Imagine being new to the game and picking a healer as your first class.

1-2 DPS skills from level 1 to 80. (+ AoE skill to be used in dungeons)

Yikes...

Picking a healer and getting even a couple DPS skills? Nice! <3

That was my reaction when I picked up Conjurer.

If you have a point then please make it more clear.
