New healers skills

[Osmond]

Seems pretty disappointing. This is the only game where a jobs best days are in the past. Healers are never going to be as fun as they were in 4.0. What a letdown.

I’m not expecting them to be honest. What I’ve learned and seen. Back then, the game was inspired by WoW and its overbloated abilities. It looks to me, it’s trying to be FFXIV. I did had disappointments, like changing Stormblood’s SMN to Shadowbringer’s SMN and I hate it. Yet somehow at the same time hate Stormblood’s SCH and loved Shadowbringer’s SCH. I just find a way to make it work. That’s all I can do.

Will I get an actual kit or just be spamming broil this expansion?

Ofc it'll be more hateful spamming...some day new people will fix this mess. Some day.

So... I get that only SCH got any news from benchmark. None to be said about WHM, AST or SGE?

All 4 healers saw a new skill in the benchmark we just don’t really know what they do besides some data mining we can’t really discuss here

The skills shown appear to be
AST- AOE GCD heal
WHM- AOE GCD heal
SCH- oGCD debuff/attack
SGE- GCD attack

And this is when we'll be disapointed to see

AST - Aspected Helios II : Same as before with flashy sun like animation
WHM- MedicaIV : Same as MedicaII, with flashy flower animation
SCH- Massive Chain Strategem : Same as Chain strategem to everyone
SGE- Toxikon III : Same as ToxikonII with more damage.

Wouldn't really surprise me that's exactly what those 4 end up being tbh. What we most definitely needed was to buff our gcd heals (again, since we already got that lv 85 trait in EW)

On a sidenote, in case they are just upgrades to Helios and Medica, the fact they use the same character animation is only adding insult to injury imo.

Good call. Healing in this game will be lame for the foreseable future. Say what you want about WoW, but in classic the healers there are pretty dang fun /w good balance between dps and healing. Here--it's just depressing.

Looks like SGE got 2 oGCDs, one after dosis and one after phlegma ?

Not necessarily oGCD, especially not the one after Phlegma. That one you can use it uses up Eukrasia.

I cannot believe I’m saying this. I’m pumped about sage! Pankardia is something I’ve wanted since Sage was announced and the new GCD attack looks pretty neat. So long as said attack is on a 15-30 second cooldown I’ll probably play sage quite a bit in DT
