Please Nerf Shield Healer Pure Heals

[Kabooa]

Yeah, I always thought 20% was more unique than a flat potency. Then again, this was the same team that nerfed Graniteskin and claimed an 18% shield from Stoneskin would "become too powerful as HP values increased". When I read that my brain went "....huh? How does that work? Don't ALL abilities become proportionally more powerful as gear increases.

Warrior.

And if you actually want more information, it's because 18% shields stepped on Scholar's toes and Adloqium, effectively requiring Critlo to be worth the use.

18% (or approximately 20%) was equal to about a cure 2 on tanks. Outside critlo, this is nearly twice as strong as the shield component of Scholar, no risk of wasted overhealing, for the same GCD cost.

Stoneskin stacked with other shields, and if I recall, this change didn't happen until Heavensward, so that was probably a factor to make sure Astro had a place.
