I've said it many times but I think I need to say it again.

Collective Unconscious was nerfed in terms of its regen.

Its current regen potency is 150 for 15 seconds.
New tooltip has it at 50 potency for 15 seconds.

EDIT: Link to the image from GamerEscape with the tooltips.

Potency doesn't mean anything at the moment with everything being recalculated.

And you still have to stand still? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You never have to stand still... do you play AST?

[Fiorinol]

This is so disappointing. I don't even know if I'm going to level White Mage and I've done so two expansions. Feels like we're getting WHM 0.5, while AST is still WHM 2.0 Fflogs Turbo Edition. I don't think I'm going to level WHM first this expansion, or even bother using it much. It has even less mobility than before unless you count the instant healing spells, which a lot of the time you're not going to use at all.

Can't say I understand the CU nerf either, or the way the card system works. From the looks of it, you're going to need to fish super hard for 3 seals by the time 5 GCDs roll in to use divination to match raid window. That's certainly going to be unenjoyable

In the end those that have the common sense to want to try it for themselves before condemning it will be the ones to enjoy the wait for the next expansion.

It makes this all so much nicer than everyone complaining on and on and on about how "healers are ruined" now.

The main theme of AST--drawing random cards with a wide array of effects--has been obliterated beyond recognition.

The new AST might be okay but it's just not going to be the same class any more. Might as well change the job name.

"Hey it's a bole." *Royal Roads*
"Hey it's a Spire." *Royal Roads*
"Hey it's an Ewer." *royal roads*
"Hey it's an Arrow!" *looks around* *no black mage* *Royal Roads*
"Hey it's a Balance!" *YES AOE BALANCE TIME*
"Hey it's a Spear!" *puts into Spread for Bard*

Potency doesn't mean anything at the moment with everything being recalculated.

It does when the potency for Scared Soil utterly dwarfs Collective. No matter what they do scaling wise, SS will utterly destroy CU.

It's blatantly clear that every example of good class design has been a complete fluke. The entire class design team(and probably Yoshida, since coincidentally every job that looks promising is one he has a personal interest) would likely have to be replaced to stop the infinite regression of garbage that happens every couple years.
