6.1 Patch Notes

[BlueMageQuina]

I am in DISBELIEF that WHM complaints were listened to: MP costs, weird 18s duration in older DOTs, Lilybell, but especially surprised about Misery. I never thought they’d make it actually DPS neutral. The Lily gauge change, I assume, is a way they are attempting to address MP economy issues rather than revert Thin Air or add some new but it effect but I find it to be an odd decision to give an extra Lily a minute when no additional healing is required. This just makes the other GCD heals even less optimal choices as fishing for the Misery under raid buffs will now likely be optimal. But I’m not complaining. More Lilies per minute equates to more Miseries. I am the DPS now.

As for SCH, SGE and AST. Not exactly a fan of the Expedient nerf. I think the current cap skills have their own individual overpowered niches and its a shame to see aoe sprint nerfed and not, say, aoe benediction. (I didn’t want any of them nerfed, only Lilybell fixed.) SGE’s Soteria is interesting and I get that it was changed so it can get all its uses in the case you cast a non-Kardia spell during its duration. Addersting change was something suggested on these very forums and is going to feel really good in content.

And AST… lol… k. I don’t think they know what they want to do to address AST’s primary issue: button bloat.

When you don't ned healing, lilies can be a great movement tool now (they always were of course, but now they are actually buttons you want to push). It's wild to think that AST is the healer with the worst mobility now. Lightspeed needs a change ASAP.
