Two people, if they have 18k HP or more with mitigation up from what I was told.
Meaning VIT melds and mitigation and barely surviving, putting more pressure on the healers where the patch was supposed to lessen the pressure on the healers.

Having read through this and seen support on both sides of the A6S nerf, I have the following to say:

It's time to introduce more tiers of difficulty. Normal mode and Savage mode aren't enough. The old A6S belongs at the top level. The new A6S belongs at the medium level, along with A5S and A7S.

As someone who is disappointed by the nerf to a formerly fun, challenging fight, Savage seems to be getting far too easy, especially while it's still relevant so early in the patch. I hope this isn't a trend...

Conversely, you could just do the 5 stack method that makes organizing super easy

I don't raid, so the only thing I noticed was that in PvP White Mage's Repose time was shortened from 15 seconds to 8 seconds!
Yet, Black Mage's sleep was only shortened from 15 to 12?

I can (kind of) understand shortening the time, but why is White Mage's shortened so much more?

they mentioned it in the forum, because of fluid aura- repose combo.

Ah, I didn't see that. Is the fluid aura - repose combo such a bad thing? I thought it was a useful tactic?

It is, but since no other healing class could do something similar, they decided to nerf it for WHM.

So just nerfs and buffs for pvp and raiding? How exciting. ~o~ Can't wait to do what I've always been doing.

The only real nerf I find helpful are the blaster changes. Everything else seemed highly unnecessary, but totally fine I guess. I'm not gonna complain. We were already almost done getting consistent with brawler anyway so I guess swindler will be even easier
