Endwalker Healer Media Tour NDA Lifted

Just like Assize is used for healing one hundred percent of the time...

Right?

Indeed, it has the same potency on a single target than Malefic and is on the GCD. It has the same cast time and all. I too believed it would have been a nice potency increase, but nope. It's just a Malefic with some interesting heal attached, meaning there is no point to use it as a DPS tool when you can use Malefic and save Macrocosmos for healing.

Lord of Crowns on the other hand is a DPS gain I think. Too bad is RNG.

Now that all healers got their Nukes cast at 1.5s for better weaving, I had expected Ruin II to become something more than a movement skill. It does get a potency buff, but its still has the same animation. Such a lost opportunity there.

Ruin II used to apply Blind. It was a mini mitigation tool.

Doing so will put immense pressure to new players to attempt anything else than healing.

Assize is a dps gain, Macrocosmos is dps neutral. So on single target you will indeed use Macro to heal.

I'm surprised Assize got no changes. No charges or anything to encourage healing with it.

This may be true, but still, SCH doesn't even have that option. It would of been nice for SCH to get more attack options, DPS neutral or otherwise. Also like why couldn't they make Ruin 2 a new skill entirely. I'm just really disappointed with all of this right now.

If I may clarify...

Yes, it's n°1 purpouse is : use on CD for damage
However, admitting you work with your co-healer in raid to heal damage... Assize actually often come at moment where you'd have to heal.
Knowing you'll have this 400 pot aoe healing ressource no matter what feels great.

So yes, you're not using it "for the heal", but since it's attached to it, it actually does what it's meant to do.

Where's that dumb buff they said they gave all healers during the live letter? I thought they would at least add that lol.

I have a dreadful suspicion that the new 60s heal/mit skill they gave each healer is what they meant. Aquaveil, Teriataus, exaltation, etc... Pretty underwhelming. I had hoped for some GCD spell that encouraged thought on when to use it, like a Stoneskin but good.

Scholar's fairies look more active than before, but I'm still extremely disappointed in the job's lack of newer DPS skills. None of the damage spells below level 80 were significantly altered either. The lack of feedback by players being acknowledged is really disheartening.

correction: they acknowledge it. They don't give a damn and are under a huge misconception that dpsing while healing is high end gameplay when in fact its basic gameplay and the bare minimum past sastacha. the game outright tells you to do dps while healing on multiple occasions.

[MellowMink]

I will say that the changes to Astrologian are definitely welcome in my subjective view; there are some more actions that are either related to damage amounts or directly deal damage compared to before. Sage also looks pretty fun, so I'll definitely see if I end up liking that as a new healer main.

[Averax]

The scholar fairy responsiveness is honestly the most unsung hero in the media tour
