They are changing its cast, not its recast, it’s just getting the same 1.5 second cast 2.5 second recast all the healer attacks already have. It’s just giving holy infinite weave space it doesn’t need for near no benefitYeah. It just looks like a tidy up to keep WHM and SGE balanced with AST and SCH buffs getting better with party gear. I suppose the faster Holy casts would increase WHM's AoE DPS a bit, but that's it. Instant Esuna being a buff remains questionable if they are going to throw out more cleansable debuffs.
I would like to know why the testing told them the shield healer MP is the issue. Excog isn't even proccing from 50% HP anymore for me when I leveled. It triggers when it expires while the tank is pulling the next group. I was throwing random Drucholes just to use the Addersgall and get the 7% mana on SGE.
The ranged DPS did get some changes too, but the buffs are on finishers and cooldowns. PCT may probably still be top, but we will see if it's enough for SMN, BLM and RDM.
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
