Prognosis is 300p. If we change Eukrasian Prognosis from '100p, Barrier for 360%' to '300p, Barrier for 120%', the functionality of the action, barrier-wise, remains the same, but the base Prognosis potency is folded into the action, thereby making Prognosis unrequired as an action.

With these two actions no longer requiring Eukrasian interaction, the only remaining thing Eukrasia would achieve is 'it is how you access your DOT'. And at that point, rather than 'swap Dosis to E.Dosis', it could just as well be another 'press this to apply DOT' button like the other healers have. Point is, what Eukrasia actually 'does', its purpose for being a button on the hotbar, can be invalidated with simple numerical tweaks

This would be far less of a problem if Eukrasia did more than just 'swap button A to button A2', eg if Eukrasian Dosis did something else via Kardia, if Eukrasian Phlegma or Eukrasian Toxikon existed and had different effects on Kardia such as triggering an AOE heal, etc. becuase then Kardia would be a system that has depth enough to set it apart from SCH (who would presumably have more Faerie interaction within their gameplay)

So the gist of your new model is to take away the standard Prognosis and Diagnosis, and replace them with skills that incorporate both direct healing and shield. In other words, make them exactly like SCH GCD heals. Then we can change how the DoT's work to make them literally exactly the same as other healers' DoT's.

I'm sorry. What?

You want to make Sage even more like Scholar? The flexibility to switch your GCD between a direct heal and a heal/shield mix is one of Sage's distinctions. Why are you suggesting that SE remove it? Why are you suggesting that the DoT be truly exactly the same as other healers?

If SE did what you're suggesting, the immediate reaction from players would be that "Eukrasian variants was one of the only differences between Scholar and Sage, and now they've taken that away too! Why do they hate healers so much?"

This is exactly what I was getting at before when I pointed out that no matter what SE does, players will still complain.

If you don't like the Eukrasia system, that's fine. It's not for everyone and that's ok. But they did give us something different. If it doesn't fit your playstyle, there are other healers to chose from.

I am just genuinely baffled that after so many posts about how healers are being homogenized, you are suggesting a change that would further homogenize them.
