Lustrate nerf

[Teno]

It's a buff, it was much more optimal to keep a stack of aetherflow for energy drain instead of lustrate and actually cast a healing spell by switching CS off. In short it used to be : energy drain + healing spell (by CS dancing) > Lustrate + dmg spell. It's a welcomed buff to better heal dps, who were the primary targets of lustrate.

It always felt like a waste to use Lustrate on DPS. I am glad that it will be more effective for healing non-tanks. I can deal with cleric stance (plus my faerie can still heal).

Being able to ignore certain mechanics/abilities sure was sweet. (e.g. Infirmity from Death Sentence, Overcharge...etc.)
Oh well.

Healing DPS with anything other than an AoE heal feels like a waste, to be honest.

There are so many of them and they move around so much, except when they're supposed to! (to dodge things).

Lustrate needs a cooldown as scholars are already insanely strong as can be right now. Maybe a 3-5 second cooldown. Itleast white mages are sort of catching up to scholars in Heavensward. Its an overall good change but there will still be big issues with astrologian and scholars dominating all content. Regen needs to be reworked to be able to provide some sort of burst healing when the game is centered around spurts of burst healing. Maybe Alexander will change that with more fights like odin and king behemoth using constantly damaging raid attacks.

Whether it is a nerf or not depends on your playstyle. I already immediately go out of Cleric Stance when I'm about to heal, so it doesn't affect me much at all.

Well scholar just got gutted.

I am not pleased. On warriors this was one of the most effective heals in the game. WAS.

Still is. You can still use it quite a bit. There's now only 2 percentage based heals, and both are on long cooldowns. It's not ruined, it's just different, and in a good way.

It's only 50 potency weaker than Cure 2, has no cast time and has a chance to crit. Oh, it's also stronger on all non-tanks than it was before.
Edit: As Akashiya mentioned it also gets affected by buffs like Mantra and Illumination now.

It's also getting stronger with your gear, instead of being dependent on your tank's gear.

I am trying to stay optimistic but on scholars this was our only burst heal. Everything else was tied to a shield and so the actual healing was significantly lower. I don't know the scholar new skills in detail quite yet but at present I am anxious. Lustrate under galvanize was a fantastic way to secure a dead tank.
