Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[Renathras]

Woa I have never seen...

I just said I agree with someone on something, and you attack me for it?

God this place is weird...

The other user said Lustrate/Durochole, not me. I just agreed. Maybe attack them (or was it you that posted that?) I do agree Faerie Gauge is useless, though. My personal belief is that Energy Drain should draw from Faerie Gauge, OR Fey Blessing again, just without the CD (so you can choose to use Faerie Gauge on either a single target or an AOE heal, at your discretion). SCH having a pure barrier AF spender would be nice for a couple reasons as well. First, just in a lore sense - SCH is the OG Barrier Healer, as I pointed out, yet has the LEAST RESPONSIVE barriers of any Healer Job. WHM and AST have instant cast barriers (Benison and Intersection), and SCH has Haima, Panhaima, Holos, and the 1 sec instant cast on the move combination of Eukrasia and either Prognosis OR Diagnosis for single target OR AOE barrier options.

What does SCH have for barrier options? Adlo and Succor (2 sec casts, Succor also gets overwritten frequently by SGE because of the weird priority that Eukrasian shields have) and the summoning sickness Seraph shields. Why does the OG Barrier Healer have the least responsive shielding capability? That's just...conceptually odd.

Secondarily, it would give them an AF dump when Excogitation is on CD. Shielding almost never goes to waste on Tanks, and can often be useful on others if the shield buff is long enough (30 sec or so). While you CAN use Energy Drain for this right now, that's only if the boss is targetable. A shiled could be used anytime. And often, when the boss isn't targetable, it's because it's about to use some big attack, in which case being able to burn excess AFs on shields then as your Aetherflow comes off CD so you can use it without overcapping, would actually benefit the party.

So either way you slice it, it's not a bad idea to have.

But yeah, if you're going to attack someone for the idea, maybe you should attack...the person...who said this:

[*]Why are barrier healer's Druochole and Lustrate healing raw hp? They could give shield for the health they would've healed. Look now you can use Emergency Tactics/Pepsis in a different way.

Oh, wait...that was you.

Why are you attacking your own idea now?

And why get 11 Likes for attacking...someone agreeing...with your own idea?
(Again proving Likes are the worst possible metric for judging ideas or support for anything other than cliques and vendettas - seriously, whoever is doing that, you're working against yourselves, lol)
