5.05 Healer Changes

[MOZZYSTAR]

Do you realise that changing the potency of Aspected Helios from 100 to 200 while keeping barrier at 250% would be of a stronger crit Adlo Deploy with no cooldown?
Do you realise that Aspected Helios shield is now stronger than non-crit Succor?

Yes, when you double something's potency, you decrease the shields.

Cards are not shit, they are better than fish-for-balance. Maybe the removal of the slot machine RNG will bring more players to AST. I am considering it.

I did realise, but what I don't understand is why they had to decrease the shields when the healing potency was the only problem. I get "balance," but AST was always on the low end.



And the cards are shit. There were already tons of AST before 5.0, so it's not like it needed to cater to more of playerbase who didn't already appreciate its design and intended use. Enjoy playing it, with one little buff per person at a time in a party of 8.~ Don't worry, DNC, BRD, and potentially other classes got the AoE buffs down pat. They'll carry your weight as a synergist.

They didn't decrease the shields. They've kept them the same, for Aspected Helios at least, and buffed them for Celestial Opposition.

Aspected Helios
Old: 100 Potency, 250% Shield = 250 potency shield
New: 200 Potency, 125% Shield = 250 potency shield

CO
Old: 100 Potency, 150% Shield = 150 potency shield
New: 200 Potency, 125% Shield = 250 potency shield

CI
Old: 150 Potency, 250% Shield = 375 potency shield
New: 200 Potency, 200% Shield = 400 potency shield
CI is now a 30 sec cooldown crit Adlo Deploy.
