Please continue bringing up AST and SCH issues.

I agree, if we dont complain (whm should too, a class shouldnt be on top just because the other two are in a really bad spot but for its own design) we won't get the changes we deserve but honestly after this live letter I dont see them doing anything until 6.0 seeing how healers for them is a low priority

Like someone else posted here, Balance was the one everyone wanted so I think the best course of action would've been to remove the +damage altogheter. I'm not familiar with the lore of the card, but it could anything else. Like a convalescenec effect on the target.

The lore of the card was that Balance equalized the difference between the strong and the weak. Which is why it boosted damage to allow your "weak" team to beat the "strong" boss. A lot of people have suggested it should have been reworked to Direct Hit, which would have put it in line with the value of the other DPS cards. There was also suggestions to rework spire to giving Det.

Same for building seals on AST. I found a couple of times yesterday for example where a card was wasted because we were in combat, but I technically wasn't because I hadn't hit anything or needed to cure yet. It's just a pain, because I might have put a shield on all my party members as it seems sensible to put a prepared buff out at the start of a fight I'd not instictively DPS. It just feels clunky to have to through a DPS move or heal down first.

I actually find the AST system even worse than the SCH one, because you can still cast the ability out-of-combat---it just doesn't work. Imagine if scholar could cast aetherflow out-of-combat, and it incurred the sixty-second cooldown but just didn't give you any aetherflow. That's basically what astrologians are dealing with now.

And yes, I agree about the instinct thing. I lose like two seconds or more at the start of each fight trying to figure out why I can't cast excog. >.<

Changes I would like to see on SCH
1. Remove fairy casting animations to make her/it more responsive.
2. Let us cast atherflow upon entering a dungeon/raid/trial/instance. You can keep it to combat only for overland encounters.
3. Make the fairy autocast or a instacast. Make Selene a glamour and remove the useless button.
4. Return Atherflow mastery or change it to a 45 sec recast.

All healers
1. Reduce the cost of res 24% is punishing in a bad group.
2. Group cure I mean really we’re lvl frigging 80.

My SCH is fine thanks, very happy with it. My only real complaint was losing Energy Drain and that's back now. Please don't change anything SE. WHM is an absolute blast of fun to play though I'm not up to 80 yet. Can't comment on AST but my friends who have levelled it are happy with the changes that just happened and aren't looking for more. Overall, SE, judging by the comments of folks in my FC and crossworld linkshells, most players are fine with the healers as they are. It's just habitual forum users who are unhappy

Have you been to on the JP forums? JP AST thread has been pure chaos after the live letter, it has calmed down a bit because people told the ones who were writing they were quitting the job that it is a forum and not twitter lol, but it was tons and tons of people complaining (different people too, unlike here where is a smaller group) about the changes, with 40+ likes on post.

If you think we have been loud and obnoxious you haven't seen their mother language counterpart, each day new players flood to the forum to write a formal complaint, SE messed it up real bad this time, we all know instead of bringing WHM up with the other two, they decided to gut the others instead.

JP players are getting to get upset that it seems not even they are being listened, instead taking the feedback form external places.

And thats why we are never getting a fourth healer xD

with how badly they messed up healers im glad we didnt get a 4th

[Brarry]

Lol the way things are and seem to be going we would be lucky to have 2 healers. They destroyed ast (lore, gameplay, flavor, fun) for sch they started by removing fairy and spells, so what's next lol. 3 healers with copied spell effects just different names and visuals. Ha. The devs put no thought I to the healer class thsts why it's just getting worse, boring. Even the lore does not make sense! Lore in a final fantasy game. Shame

What do you mean? aren't you looking forward to the new healer with 1 single target spell, 1 DoT, 1 AoE and ...

It has different looking spells so its totally different.

So I decided to check out the JP forums cause usually we over blow a situation and they are alright with changes....Not this time. Their Astro thread is extra busy and so many are not happy about this.

If I had to guess I think right now SE knows that they messed up, but will not talk more confirm anything healer related due to not wanting to make people madder.

If anything expect next expansion to literally be a apology letter to healers cause I doubt they will fix them sooner than that.
