The sheer negativity in this thread I swear...

I'm gonna start with what I do miss. Energy Drain. Not even so much for the damage potency/mp sustain it provided, but rather for it being a viable option for dumping aetherflow when the cooldown is almost up.

Now that my gripe is out of the way. I love the changes. While the simplification of our dps is a reason for complaint. I'm personally not bothered by it. Infact, I'm rather happy Art of War replaced Miasma 2, and that Ruin II got a potency buff, as I hated the use of Miasma II to optimize my dps and weaving. Ruin iI is a much more comfortable spell to use at that point.

Speaking of weaving. While the fairy no longer having it's own seperated gcd is a valid thing to be bothered by. SCH still has some of the best options for weaving ogcds out of the three healers. They would only loose about 80 potency, and have a potency gain at 2+ mobs, to double weave their vast ogcd kit.

So while there are elements of it that will feel weaker. I cant help but feel positive about it since it still has the tools for it to fulfill the niche of the high uptime aggressive ogcd focused healer.
