Healer melding

[liljramos88]

What are you guys melding for the 230 lore?

(Also a note to some comments I noticed: Astrologians don't really need to meld accuracy as it would only really help malefic II and Gravity)

You'd be surprised at the amount of Malefics/aeros you can cast in a single fight

At 360 accuracy, I was missing about 10-20% of my missable attacks in freaking Ex Roulette. I missed five Broils in a row on one of those stupid gremlins. There were a few times I used Bane and realized that Miasma didn't spread because it had missed. With the exception of VIT in the first slot of each accessory, I'm planning on doing mostly Accuracy.

Was thinking on the right going accuracy and on left going crit and det

[Yhisa]

Im going full Det and spell speed as ast

Crit is just NO dont want another rng
Det is awsome helps healing and damage
Spell speed because i like it and it also adds damage to dots and hots even if its small amount

Piety for ast ... U kinda dont need it especially with the ewer and aether changes i never go out of mp and i swear it will get nerf in future... Scary when sch and whm going out of mp and im still rocking it out as ast

Acc is also not needed for ast because u only be melding for malefic and aero only

Det and spell speed for AST is better due to all of our heals are GCD base with 1 instant essential dignity and relying on crit to heal is a no go for me

As ast im consently healing back to back with casts... I not got a fairy or instant cures or loads of cds at my disposal ... AST is a turret healer with buffs/debuffs (dots)

Wep>Mind >det >spell speed > pie/crit

Yeah healers didn't really get meld options this patch, they have to make up for the needed accuracy stat they got taken off for some reason after it had been established that it was needed.

Depends what you do. I'll be raiding so my 230 lore gear will most likely be spell speed while the 220 gear will be pure accuracy. You don't need top gear for faceroll dungeons, it sucks getting two sets of gear but SE never liked healers much anyway.

At some point it's going to be pointless anyway. It's obvious SE will continue raising the ACC cap to a point where it will be impossible to even get close with melds because they are trying to remove healer damage from the equation for raiding. Doing this 1) puts more pressure on the DPS to perform properly instead and 2) helps extend the life of the raid since it will be harder to clear without spending a few weeks gearing up first. It's a win-win in SE's eyes.

Oh, I'm sure, I fit in lots of broils myself. Nothing wrong with accuracy on astro either it just feels like it may be less worth it than the other two classes.

So as a white Mage with mostly Midas gear and soon lore body and New primal weapon (hopefully)... What should I meld and where?
So far I've only melded a vit into a ring and piety into my belt. Wanted to sprinkle just a little piety here and there but there's not much equipment to put it in...
