Thoughts on PLD healing

[Thela]

While true that you can effectively be a healer for 5 GCD's every minute, dungeons are not really valid content to be making balance decisions on. In content where it matters (aka savage or even ultimate) it matters very little, you might be able to salvage things going south for a little while but its not gonna change a whole lot in the grand scheme of things for the outcome most of the time.

That being said, personally i don't really care either way if they nerf it or not. I hardly ever use it except as emergency.

As for Divine Veil, i still have no idea why they didn't fix it this expansion, seeing it expire all the time just feels terrible.

As you point out, it's not something you want to do in progression content, but I've replaced the healer several times now in dungeons and I think that probably shouldn't be possible to completely usurp their role. In savage content, I figure Clemency wasting a GCD is balanced by the shield.

Regarding Divine Veil, I think it's worse now. AST gets 2x Essential Dignity and SCH lost Energy Drain and Bane so they basically are trying to burn their Aetherflow on Lustrate.
