The finalized 5.0 healer changes revealed (links)

Anyone have a good guess as to why Collective Unconscious was nerfed like that? Because that feels...VERY questionable.

I'd imagine it was because compared to Asylum it was too good.

Original CU is easier to use, gives more healing than Asylum, same CD as Asylum, and provides damage mitigation towards the initial raid buster hit.

With that being said, I'd rather they buffed Asylum instead of nerf CU. If they gave Asylum the same treatment that CU got in the sense that Asylum grants a HoT that could be refreshed when you re-enter the area of effect, I'd be much happier with Asylum.

I truly enjoy that SCH's capstone ability is to summon a discount WHM.

At least I can still kill people with Fluid Aura in PvP. So thanks for that, SE.

So what I don't get it I thought Collective Unconscious had a good heal because it was a channeled smaller bubble compared the easy movable non channeled sacred soil. Also why do we still not have potencies for Horoscope?
And do cards stack on with the Lord and Lady versions? I feel that they don't but I have seen in media tour videos at least that they do stack with divination.

Why do SE don't understand that we like playing healer because we love complexity and the feeling to be constantly pressured ?

Who ask SE to casualize healer ? Not us for sure.

I just wish there was a way we could just get a response from them that they are listening to us, it's going to be so frustrating waiting for this, maybe contact people who get often involved in media events with info to pass on or something IDK :/ how do we even begin to tackle this.

I thought they were summoning another, smaller scholar.

It honestly seems like a glaring oversight. Even if you rationalize the nerf itself, you need only look at Sacred Soil and wonder what in the world they were thinking. They're either immensely overvaluing 10% mitigation or CU will get buffed.

Because it has a pretty spell effect.

I doubt that's true, but it probably makes more sense than the actual reason.

Playing as a white mage seems like a blast, we only lost aero 3 and all the new abilities seem nice. I feel bad for other healers though.
