Healer Suggestions Megathread

[ty_taurus]

I'm experimenting with the idea I have for Sage where Addersting is a typical 0-100 gauge built up by DPSing, but it acts as both your damage gauge and healing gauge. Here's a very basic moveset to get the idea across:

Dosis III
Spell - 1.5s Cast Time
300 potency damage + 5 Addersting

Phlegma
Spell - 0s Cast Time - 40s Recast - 2 Charges
500 potency AoE damage + 30 Addersting

Generisis Spendikon
Spell - 0s Cast Time - 30 Addersting
450 potency damage + some MP regen

Pneuma
Spell - 1.5s Cast Time - 30 Addersting - 1300 MP
450 potency damage + 500 potency AoE heal

Kardima
Spell - 1.5s Cast Time - 30 Addersting - 1000 MP
450 potency + 800 potency Kardion heal

I'm open to suggestions for this, but in general I like the idea of Sage focusing more on the damage-to-heal spells and I want spells like Pneuma to be a much bigger part of the kit. The gauge can hold 3.33 healing spells and takes roughly 20s of Dosis spam to gain enough Addersting for a single use.

I'd definitely have a more interesting damage kit than this. This is just to get the damage-to-heal idea across

The concept of making choices with Addersting that involve healing/support is similar to what I did as well, though this is just single-target vs AoE options at the cost of more MP. While there are minor differences, mine's effectively the same just with aoe healing vs aoe mitigation. I think there's more interesting things both concepts can do other than just healing or just damage reduction, but for now it's a solid start given the changes needed to shift Sage's design from where it is now to either of those angles.

The thing that I'm not a huge fan of is having Addersting generated strictly from attacking. I think the current formula of having it generated from breaking GCD barriers fails in a lot of ways because the spammability of those barriers means the resource can never be worthwhile to generate, but I think it's something that should be connected to Addersgall in some fashion, or some other restrictive resource for barrier application.
