SGE Changes for 6.2

Unpopular opinion but honestly I'm not a fan of the healer lv86 abilities. Exaltation is good, but overall they're just unnecessary filler for the sake of pretending to give healers more buttons. They're probably on the weaker side on purpose because we don't really need more single target heal, especially with tanks getting some ridiculous free mitigation/heal on 25s cooldowns. Sure, you can find a use for them sometimes, but you wouldn't really miss them either if you had to play without them.

I'd trim all 4 or merge them with other single target abilities as upgrades and actually use the 86 slot for something interesting.

I agree on most of these too.
A Zoe buff to 75% is unnecessary given how Pneuma is already very strong, it might be better to simply buff Pneuma to 900 and only let Zoe interact with EDiag and Eprog on a shorter cooldown.

Panhaima on a longer duration would be great and should absolutely apply to Lilybell too.

Aoe Sorteria might almost be too good as much as I'd like it, but it definitely needs a buff or rework.

Eye for an Eye was like the level 86 skills but was also in a time when Tanks didn't have ridiculously powerful Mitigation tools that invalidated it and that's really the problem with them, the time for them to shine passed before they even had a chance. Maybe if we unlocked them at around level 15 or so, the skills would at least be useful for low level content but at level 86? It's just meaningless fluff that only shines when you get no mitigation tanks or to try and save someone that has collected 1 too many vuln stacks and that's really it. Eye for an Eye at least had some synergy with SCH because you could D.Tactics it to everyone but none of the level 86 skills have any such synergy with their class and is just another flop in healer design.

I think what gets me is that it could have been a slot for another dps action. One action is hardly a fix of course, but it'd be something and 86 is quite late to unlock so SE don't have to panic over new players brains exploding.

Instead we got single target filler healing fluff to add to our bloated heal kits that's basically irrelevant when they made tanks semi-indestructible. Such a waste of an ability slot.

Even if the level 86 skills didn't exist as skill, we still wouldn't have gotten any DPS skills. They doubled down on the shit gameplay design that was ShB healers so the likelihood of them actually giving Healers more DPS options is about as likely as world peace.
