The Healer Double Standard

[EaMett]

For what it's worth the first echos I'm getting from E3 Titania normal is that the casuals will be very frustrated because of healing patterns. Apparently you have a lot going on at times with some decent damage bursts during mechanics. Same healers reporting this are saying that it still feels like you'll be dpsing roughly the same as you would in SB once you're used to the fight.
Confirms we will hate not having ED on SCH. Would just throw out sacred soil to use the stack (the one we have, not the one with the HoT) and says we will grow tired of not having ED to use stacks, real fast.

Seems like some of the raiders there were expecting the content to get nerfed. Considering only a few groups managed to clear on day one (4 I think?) compared to some 20+ last time they did this with Tsukiyomi, I wouldn't be surprised.

Also tanks asking for protect and asking if you even know healer when you tell them it was removed lol. Oh boy, DF gonna be fun

Edit: Oh and AST seems to be in a tight spot, people seem to want to play SCH/WHM which makes sense, not that different from SB early days really.

Neat that Titania may actually be more healer intensive, but that's only one marker...It'd have been like judging all healing based on release Pharos Sirius, or the Odin Trial. The fact that we *still* seem to be potentially DPSing the same amount, however, is telling.

And no duh it will suck without ED. I'm just trying to imagine a proper timing rotation, and all I can think of ends up as "Guess the tank always has Excog on!" It's not a fun thought.
