    I think PCT is the better job design going forward

    It condenses its core rotations into a single button so at any one time you can really only press 10 buttons or so but its rotation is incredibly Freeform and complex and it has no redundant actions

    VPR to me leans too heavily towards “the class plays itself”

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    There is room for improvement nothing is 100%

    But compared to other jobs it is perfect

    I didn't play picto yet but I will try to give my opinion

    Play it self is wrong term "glowing buttons" make it easy to understand the fight more than focusing on your bar and 3 other parameter

    Playing Viper at high end is balance for my experience

    Oh I don’t disagree on VPR’s balance and its optimisation my only point on the “it plays itself” is the core combo is like 12 buttons condensed into 2 but the system progresses the combo you need next to its logical end without your intervention

    It’s like if SAM had a one button combo and each time you started it it just progressed to the next sticker you needed without you actually intervening

    PCT meanwhile has a standard 1-2-3 but there is never a reason to deviate from it because it is a standard 1-2-3

    Sorry I should have made the point on “plays itself” clearer
