Scholar notes from E3 build - Titania Fight

[Selova]

I'm kind of stating the obvious here but, people understand that this version of Titania is a dumbed down normal mode trial pre-80 right?A lot of the concerns are valid, but this isnt even remotely a decent sample size to judge how often you're going to be healing vs dpsing. We need to wait until savage and ultimate before making such claims.

And what are options for those who heal dungeons and normal raids/trials?

A job in a game has to be fun to play in every content not just at the end of the lving or there is a problem in the job design itself. But well just my opinion.

You can look at WoW to get a glimpse at what happens when classes are not fun to play in the vast majority of content...

If healers are only remotely enjoyable in savage or ultimate, then that is a major issue.

There is such a thing as overly simplifying something. And for many people that's what has happened to the healers. SCH especially, since SE was sorta building them up to be a foil to SMN similar to WHM being a foil to BLM. Now instead of both jobs mirroring one another with one focusing on DPS and the other healing, they are both just an odd mix of skills. SMN might look okay, but it looks to have it's own share of issues. Plus, I know SE admitted to not liking the early version of SMN, but it seems like SE doesnt really know which job used which skills for both gameplay and lore. SMN almost never used ED once it got faster, and why does it still have Physick. Plus the poison spells fit SCH a lot better lore wise. Why didnt the poison spells turn into elemental DoTs based on the primals? It all just makes me really sad since SCH just clicked for me. T.T

It's really sad too that I keep seeing SMN mains upset over having to use Energy Drain, and yet us SCH mains are gutted over losing it..... bit ironic, don't ya think?

That's one reason I really enjoyed AION's Cleric, you get your basic interesting skills early on and the skill kit becomes more interesting and engaging as you level and it builds upon the basic kit with skill chains for healing and DPSing. You also have things that make you more healer or more DPSer so there's a choice when soloing content versus when in groups.

They could provide something like that with a reworked Cleric Stance that gives us access to more DPS skills while in it. It'd at least make solo play a little less tedious or give healers a challenge when switching between stances. xD But that is a bit like how tanks were, still it'd give us something to do and juggle.

Ya i loved it too cause you have really the feeling to evolve through the lving. I don't have this feeling here unfortunatly, mostly now with all these changes. Ok the areas look amazing, i'm curious about the main story, we have new races etc, i'm excited about lots of things in the 5.0 add on but if the general gameplay sux, it will just ruin all this adventure and maybe i'll just stop it cause of weariness.

Wow, that goalpost sure moved fast.

[Deceptus]

Wow, that goalpost sure moved fast.

It's the only defense many white knights have.

"Just wait, it'll get better."

[Videra]

"Just wait, it'll get better."

11 days from now, we'll be seeing the; 'It did not get better.' and 'Wait until savage is out!'
