If anything what has changed is an emphasis on a healer to focus on healing just a bit more.



That would defeat the entire purpose of SCH's gimmick. Your goal is to use the gimmick heals combined with the basic heals. That's why the Physick to Adlo suggestion doesnt work since Adlo is a gimmick heal not a basic heal. At that point it become what I mentioned earlier, just placing the gimmicks on the basic heals, which just feels lazy.



This is not inaccurate, but the values matter as well. Currently, they are at 675 and 700 base, and 1050 and 700 crit. But what alternative direct healing potency would you give to Adlo to maintain this set up. Keeping in mind that the Shield must be of a decent value and cannot be significantly less in comparison to the AST shield. Currently the AST shield is a 500 potency compared to SCH's 375 for A. Benefic/Adlo and
250 and 225 for A. Helios/Succor. With combined potencies of 700/675 and 450/405, the difference offset by the faerie. The shield needs to be of a decent value otherwise it might as well be direct healing at that point.
Few things, i think your missing the point why adlo is the gcd that is spammed rather than Physick, critlo gives a way better breathing room than what Physick can offer, yet critlo is random so can take multiple uses, ET adlo is better than Physick tied to a 30s cd, and you don't start going into gcd healing until your out of resources where you want to be able to give yourself as big as a time window as you can get thus adlo is preferred due to critlo.

Did I say to lower the overall potency of Adlo, no, I said could up the direct heal while lowering shield potency this can leave the overall value the same but change how much upfront healing is done.

The basic heals already have gimmicks except Physick but they all go heavily underutilised. Cure 1 has a chance to make cure 2 free, Benefic 1 has a chance to make next benefic 2 crit. Basic gimmicks just like a heal provides a shield with a chance for double shield, yet you are fine with their gimmicks being gone into the upgrade system but sch's one is a nope can't happen kinda double standard there. Interaction may be different but core premise is the same you need to spam gcd heals.

If Physick actually interacted with sch's kit in any way it could have a case for staying around but it doesn't it is the redundant heal and has been for a very long time it is just now that Benefic and Cure have caught up to it.
