7.0 Healer Wishlist

Yeah, I agree with that. Although, White Mage could probably be the burst heal master, but I want their big burst heals to have opportunity cost (could be movement like I proposed, but doesn't have to be).

SCH and AST can probably cater to the higher APM players, while WHM is lower APM and SGE is in the middle. I think more of a spectrum that's not just AST >>>> everyone else would be a welcome change. If it's not clear, I really prefer slow jobs but i'd rather have more variety in this, cuz as long as we have *one* really good slow job I'll be happy, everyone else should have jobs they like too.

Why do people keep associating "burst heal" with WHM?

• SGE: Zoe + Pneuma is a 900 potency AoE heal
• SCH: Recitation + Excogitation is effectively a ≥1120 potency single-target heal
• SCH: Recitation + Emergency Tactics + Succor is effectively a ≥728 potency AoE heal
• etc. etc. etc.

Delivering large dollops of HP isn't (current) WHM's thing. It's being able to a respectable dollop of HP on-demand, or a large dollop over-time. (Which is kinda shared with AST, come to think of it…)

"People", or my specific proposal? Because the reason I'm associating it with burst heals is I've been saying I'd like big buttons with a big opportunity cost. We can have different ideas, but that's not the I was discussing.

WHM is the burst healer because of cure 3 and because it has so many healing up buffs for its rapture

Asylum+temperance+plenary rapture = 792 potency heal you can press three times in a row
Asylum+temperance+plenary cure 3= 1054 potency heal you can press constantly

The shield healers have some decent burst heals but it wastes alot of their important resources to use, even taking out temperance and asylum from above you are still doing 600 and 800 potency respectively and plenary is completely free
