RIP Healers

[Yuyuka3]

The notion that healers have a hard time to clear single player content really baffles me. So far, I decimated everything pretty quickly, it didn't feel much, if any, slower than before, and I didn't even have my chocobo out at times. They raised potencies across the board together with the skill removals. Is it fun to only have 2-3 buttons to press? Most definitely not. Do we deal so little damage that we have a hard time clearing anything? LOL, no.

That's because you're a White Mage.

Between PoM/Thin Air and highest-potency DoT/Filler, you have way higher burst than SCH/AST.

For comparison, if you've got Dia, you're basically taking Biolysis and adding a 120 Potency initial hit to it that SCH doesn't have. And AST's Combust is worse but they at least get card damage buffs.

SCH solo play is basically HW Paladin: Nothing's going to kill you, but it's going to take forever.
