"job adjustsments" from the live letter speculations

[inhaledcorn]

I see no significant job adjustments at all, monk will continue to be least played job and healers will continue as they are. For the future they should aim to give the same treatment to all job as they did with black mage, making their kit good and not filled with useless skills. Even tho we all want some jobs to be a lot more interesting to play that will not happen, I think significant changes will only be done in the next expansion where they will mess up healers again.

Says BLM has no useless skills while they still have Blizzard I and II at max level... (III should overwrite I and Freeze should overwrite II, just sayin').

Anyway, I also don't really expect really big changes in the middle of a tier, but WAR got massive adjustments in odd patches ARR and SB, so who knows? I think, however, the things that people don't like about SCH and AST are too big for a non-expansion change.

The recent reworks of NIN and SMN tell us that they can do mid expansion major reworks of a job, but the utter lack of any feed back to the healers tell me that only one of the healers will get an extra 5 potency on the DoT and they will call it a day.

If there are significant healer adjustments, they will likely be in anticipation of a new healer job. But that will likely all wait for 6.0 when it's introduced.

Pretty confident healer won't get anything. If they do you can be 99% positive it'll be some weird unnecessary change.
I expect the class changes to affect mnk, war/drk, and brd mostly. I would love for them to have pet fixes because although healers are decently balanced the sch gameplay is clunky af. But yeah, not happening.

Hope I get to bite my words.

I expect nothing or possibly even less than nothing (and not only do nothing, they'll go "we don't actually see the problems that people are complaining about") for healers for the rest of this expansion, sadly.

next expansion i also expect nothing, because they're going to have to gut all the classes again to spread out another 10 levels of actions across the same number of buttons (instead of perhaps taking the pvp route of making some skills self-combo to save space and still add stuff--making leveling for everyone even more soulcrushing), and that won't allow for the healers to get a core identity that sets each other apart, so they'll all still be super samey and boring.

would love to be proved wrong, but my trust is shot at this point.

3. Another unhealthy buff to Sch and Ast potencies to try and delay more people leaving the jobs.

I'm really curious to see how far the numbers dropped after the changes to the card system and downtime dps kit

I really can't even bring myself to be disappointed anymore. Healer used to be my main role but now is nothing more than a role I play for a roulette bonus or to reluctantly push a queue forward. I expect nothing until 6.0 because healers are second class citizens. There's no healer mount achievements so that's even less incentive for me.

Of course now the precedent is there that even if they release a new healer we won't even see primal weapons. Rip using my sophia bead for GNB or Dancer.

The last live letter confirmed, that we will get job adjustments.
Do you guys think we will get ANYTHING healer related? and if yes, what do you think it will most likely be.
Given SE's track record, i dont expect much, but maybe, just maybe they took the feedback they got to heart and we will see at least some chages.

Personally i expect that they will buff AST some more (purely on the healing side probably) and maybe they will try to un-bug SCH faery but somehow make it worse.
WHM will get a token changes like 1 second more regen duration.

What are your predictions? Or what are your hopes?

It simply said Job Adjustments in general. There was no indication that healers specifically would be adjusted.

Don't get your hopes up.

Healers getting adjustments <insert bender laugh>

Healers getting fixes to core issues they have <insert pandabubba laugh>



You know i'd love to have cream on my face and they actually do something meaningful but track record shows nope not happening even new expansion is sketchy and quite frankly I don't trust current healer designer at all to sort out.

i know. its simply some "jolly" speculation. At this point im used to basicly not existing in the devs eyes. But maybe, just maybe, they got an intern to clear up the trash can and he found like this weird 3 green icons and brought it up. One can dream.
