    This screenshot was taken from the media tour where we can see the effectiveness of Physick. (Source) As you can see, it still scales off Mind which results in a rather pitiful heal.

    I appreciate that Earthen Armor is a better defensive tool than anything Summoner currently has, but that doesn't change the fact that Physick is still just... there.

    I'm not sure why this is still the case. There is still time before Shadowbringers launches. Maybe adjusting Physick is on their list of things to do. However, I wouldn't bet on it. Odds are, Physick will be just as useful as it's always been.

    Personally, I would prefer to see Physick scale off Intelligence when cast by a Summoner as opposed to outright removing it from Summoner and Arcanist.

    Seeing as they now have a defensive CD from titan egi, I would rather they give casters a role action to OGCD heal themselves and others. Something like a buffed Erase on a shorter CD.

    When they do finally split SMN/SCH, theres no way that SMN is keeping physick in its current form. A 400 Potency heal isn't game breaking, but it is strictly better than Vercure. SMN is also going to be getting a low potency AOE heal with the summon of Phoenix for flavor. Its potency might be a bit larger than a 120 total potency regen per person by release [960 potency per phoenix duration on a full party.] They're going to be healing allot more and allot more often than a RDM locked to a GCD heal.

    People need to stop thinking that Vercure is better because of Dualcast. [Not at you specifically Blueyes, people from the first page] Its not. 350 + 350 is less than 400 + 400. Just because it gets front loaded into 700 potency at 3 seconds, doesn't mean that it isn't overtaken by physick at 4.5 seconds with 800 potency and is till 50% cheaper. Even with the Ruin II buff, RDM loses way more DPS per vercure cast as well.

    Here's to hoping we get a better defensive utility to support the party and ourselves, but physick staying and scaling off int, isn't the way to go.
