As a person that plays both Tank and Healer. I will have to disagree with you on this one. I feel the old Rain of Death was way better than the new Storm Path and the damage reduction effect would be better served if it were added to Overpower.


1. Since Threat is the Tank 1st Priority, Unless you have another Warrior in the Party applying it from the start for you, your looking at least 10-20sec before you even have the threat buffer big enough to even start your SP/SE Combo's. Even Longer if you have good DPS in your group.

2. Since it was Nerf from a AoE Mitigation to Single Target, Thats a Huge lost of Mitigation that we will never see again. This impacts things like Big Pull in Dungeons, AK/WP Speed Runs, Turn 4, Garuda Extreme etc. I dont care how good a Warrior is, its impossible to keep Storm Path up on 3 or more targets while effectively tanking. Heck, When im on my healer I rarely see other Warriors use Storm Path, even on bosses. I see more Storm Eye's than I do Storm Paths.

3. Justifying Storm Path would go back to being useless is not a great defense. Theres a Video on youtube of a Warrior Beating the First Boss of WP with mostly Storm Path . Besides, every class has their fill of useless skills/spells....some more than otheres. SE can tweak them later down the road but my point was that the mitigation would be better on a AoE Skill.

I know and I Do.

Only thing WHM has to be jealous about SCH is with a Crit Adloquium, and ofcourse SCH almost infinte MP.

Even if Whispering Dawn was a Better AoE Heal, WHM wouldnt have to worry about SCH stealing spots since Whispering Dawn has 60sec Cool Down, while Medica/MedicaII Doesnt. And Although Medica vs Succor effectively have the same potency, Medica is better when you need that HP Back ASAP (e.i earthen fury). Medica is also cheaper and since Succor doesnt stack, in situations like Titan Stomps and Turn 2 Enrage, 2x WHM will be better than 2x SCH.

WHM have nothing to worry about.
