#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Connor]

Has double regen healer ever been a meta for a fight? because i remember for p3s double shield was the meta.

Maybe when Astrologian had Nocturnal Sect? Lol (and thus regen/shield healer distinction didn’t ‘officially’ exist).


As for the Sage discussion for most ‘trash pulls’ I just use Krasis with Soteria and live some dps-healer realness lol. Well, for like 2-3 seconds then Phlegma/Psyche are on cd so it’s back to shooting pool noodles ad nauseum lol. No idea how effective it is in terms of ‘healing’, but it’s a combination not used as often so it makes me feel like I’m doing a secret technique lol (‘White Mages will hate this one trick!!!’).

I guess in a way it’s nice and that healers are able to deal with healing in various different ways lol. It would be much nicer if the root cause for that wasn’t that the healing requirements were so very low that you can practically clear them spamming [Level 2 Filler Heal] these days

I don't see how double regen healer CAN be meta, that would involve a truly insane amount of damage and even then shield healers would have to be balanced around that level of damage so the preventative capabilities would still win out over solely restorative ones.

Lol it would only be meta for a mechanic maybe, only in EW tho considering Seraphism makes SCH the strongest regen healer for 20 seconds.

I guess it can never be with how FF14 is designed, there is never WoW levels of damage output where constant healing is needed in encounters, there should probably be more of that to a degree if the devs want Barrier/Regen to be standard, Barrier for the mechanics and regen as a heal bot for the pulsing damage.
From how it looks SGE will probably be meta only in 100 critieon. 4man kinda makes raidbuffs meaningless comparitive to raids so AST wouldn't be as good and WHM severe lack of mitigation could be troublesome, SCH would be good because its raid buff just increases crit rate and it has a million tools for both regen and shield but SGE will probably do slightly more damage which in critieon which has enrages so its actually useful.
