What healing abilities would you like to see?

[lyndwyrm]

So, patch 2.1 is coming up relatively soon where we'll get some new stuff (crystal tower, housing, etc.), but I'm looking farther ahead towards the first level cap increase. I've heard for summoners they're planning to add a new egi, but what healing abilities would you like to see then?

I'm a white mage, and plan to level Scholar at some time, but I really only have one want for white mage in the future. I would like see Full-life/Arise. Because Raise already takes a full quarter of my MP with an 8 sec. cast time, Arise would probably have to be on a cooldown, like benediction. It could be wrapped into a trait for raise, but I think that would be a little OP.

There are also the abilities from actually leveling CNJ and ACN, in addition to the Job abilities to think about. So we'll probably have something like 4 new abilities and 1-3 traits.

What skills/traits would you like to see in the first level cap increase?

Well during that one story mission where you fight side by side with cid if you pay attention he uses a heal on you and himself called Aqua Vitae idk if this is indication of a new base class or job with another heal ability or not but its a possibility.

Would love to see something like a reraise as now if healer dies in a lot of fights it is pretty much the end of that try.

Aoe removal of effects for higher cost.

More variation in healing skills like single target heal with regen for example. Or regen that works different in small to larg hps or the other way around.

Certain traits like if you crit heal target in party with lowest hitpoints get healed for a proportion aswell.

More instant heals or expensive heals with shorter cast time.

Overall coming from WoW i find healing atleast on white mage a bit boring but that is also because of how the endgame mechanics are made with all the running, sometimes hard to heal effecient in between running for your life.

I'd like a Benediction without the 300sec recast XD #infiniteheal #feellikegod

On whm I would like to see:

Reraise
Reactive single/group heals
HoT with splash healing
Ground based AE heal
Group Cleanse

I would like to see an Ability that extend your next Healing Spell / Buff spell or Esuna to an AoE.
A Sacrifice ability could also be cool, something like ''Lose 50% of remaining HP and heals the target for double amount''

I would like to see for Whm: Reraise like others have suggested, Sacred Prism from 1.0 (good for getting stoneskin, cure 2, whatever spells on everyone) and Rebirth from 1.0 as well. Rebirth was a spell that brought someone back to full hp and without sickness I think. I don't expect it to act the same. Maybe a 5min cd or something.

For Sch: Reflect/Shell, Dispel and possibly Aura. Reflect or Shell I see more like Succor or Adloquium that can put a magic barrier that can reflect a portion of damage back to the caster. Dispel speaks for itself. Aura possibly something that can increase spell speed, magic power, attack power and skill speed for 10-15 seconds or something. 5 min cd.

I'm not for sure that they would have to be exactly that and everything determines on cool down and cast time, but those are what I'd like to see.

More damage prevention mechanics for my SCH, Possibly a single target, short duration defense / mdef buff. I would also like to see more ways of obtaining Aetherflow charges, and more creative and unique ways of using them. Everything about a SCH revolves around damage prevention, so why not give them more tools to make them better at it, and increase the skill cap so you can really tell the difference between a good sch, and a terrible one.

Another thing I would like to see on SCH is more offensive ways of reducing damage done or inflicting status effects. Shadow flare and Ruin II are awesome, but how about something that inflicts amnesia, silence, or some other status effect whose purpose it is to reduce damage done by a boss or mob.
