I understand that, and I'm sorry if I came out as rude. I do think the gameplay will not change that much, as the transformation will just be a potency buff for heals, probably, so you got that going for you.And I have nothing against people who saw it as such. But the thing that caught my attention was just bluntly telling others that there are other jobs for them to play when some... I'm not going to lie, I include myself, have loved the job as it was presented, at relaunch. The aesthetics, the gameplay (old SCH) is so interesting and rewarding if you have made the right decision, every single time.
I want that to retain.
No harm done. Not mad at anything.. As for the increased healing potency.. well.. it's borderline-broken.

- Seraphism is BAD.
- Give us back Shadowflare and make Deployment/Emergency Tactics affect Biolysis
- Give us back Rouse
- Make pet management rewarding.
The actual nature of seraphism as a GCD amplifier is problematic in it of itself
Let’s take a conservative estimation it’s a 10% amplifier. Stacking every one of your amplifiers would equal (1*1.2=1.2*1.1=1.32*1.1=1.452*1.1=1.6) let’s apply a 1.6* amplifier to spreadlo. Spreadlo as a base is about 835 potency of shield (1.5* crit multiplier= 810 1.6*crit multiplier= 864). A 1.6* amplifier on that is equal to 1336 potency of raw shielding. That is bonkers
Let’s instead imply that seraphism is ripped directly from temperance and is a 20%. That makes the combined amplifier 1.74* which would make spreadlo 1453 which is even worse
But that’s not all. Right now it’s very unlikely you will burn all spreadlo amplifiers on one spreadlo because 2 have alternate effects (illumination is a mitigation and dissipation blocks the fairy). Seraphism looks to be an unconditional amplifier (like protraction) so let’s assume when you do a spreadlo you will only burn the unconditional amplifiers then spreadlo would be 1010 under a 10% seraphism or 1102 under a 20% seraphism
But that’s not all folks. There is also a CD reduction to recitation. So now you can spreadlo every time deployment is up and still critdom once per 3 minutes. I’m not even going to mention the buff to ET because generally you don’t mention ET when it comes to pure healing capacity of SCH
These changes are beyond bonkers for SCH’s healing and mitigation potential to the point I genuinely don’t think they can properly balance this any more because either they buff SGE To compensate and just delete the regen healers or they don’t buff SGE and SGE just gets deleted
Since Swiftcast got its CD halved, I think it's fair to assume the next raids will need much more healing, so that's not necessarily that bonkers... Maybe that's just the baseline for burst healing/shielding in DT.
If SCH isn’t breaking mechanics with that capacity SGE is going to get left behind because SGE’s shielding capacity is poor as hell
Wouldn't be surprised to see if they give 300% barrier from E.Prognosis, 500% to E.Diagnosis, and a 2nd charge to Zoe. Don't forget, even if SCH got Adlo 2/Succor 2, Eukrasian Diagnosis have higher priority than both... So your preparation for that gigantic spread critlo will be overwritten even before you get the chance to hit Deployment Tactics
