Warrior Rework to Balance the job

[ApolloGenX]

Circle of Healing was a (frequently MP-intensive) CD. It wasn't spammable.

Perhaps you're thinking of Prayer of Healing, the spammable one? But then, that would have generally been the worse choice, the fallback akin to Medica I, rather than something akin to Indomitability/Rapture.

Regardless, though, BW is always the best choice and an overwhelming source of WAR's contribution in the content being discussed. But, as you noted about CoH, that doesn't make it fun. Rather, its excess in strength simply makes other kits (including the remainder of Warrior's own) that bit less fun.

No, lol. CoH was an instant and spammable when it was introduced...so was wild growth. They added the cd later.

Loved mending, though...the pinball heal. It was almost spammable...they nerved it though with a cd, too. /sadface

So, for <11%, soon to be <9%, of the game's lifetime (as we already know how it will function in TWW). Because they realized how dumb that was and quickly corrected.

As should be done with any heal tuned for a single-target but then allowed to scale linearly with target count. Such as EW-DT Bloodwhetting (whereas Nascent Flash in ShB was extremely strong but at least had a workable scalar).

(Also, no, Wild Growth was not. It both had a CD and, more importantly, was a HoT, making it incomparable to CoH or any other truly spammable heal.)

Yeah, WG wasn't a problem because it was a HoT... but other healers almost burned the forums down over CoH. (and no- WG did not have a CD- but clipping heals didn't really get you anything, so they added the CD and front loaded it)

The point was that as powerful as it was, it wasn't fun, that's all. Power and fun are not the same. It led to some great discussions on what is fun to press vs what is not. Basically, mindlessness isn't fun... that is kind of where all healers in FFXIV are now.

Anyway, it has been nice talking- I canceled again. Maybe I will come back when DT is skippable or healing is fun again. Best wishes.
