A interesting content idea for healers!

[Mistyregions]

So healers are worried about not having variety in DPS, or having a lot of down time, or not being able to dps a lot etc etc. Some ideas I heard, was more healing checks, you could easily out gear that.

So here is my idea. Thanks to a random memory in FF7, they should have content where there is a phase that healers do damage with healing spells to enemies.

Have a mechanic in a raid where the healers now cause damage to enemies when they cast healing spells, the DPS have to do a specific mechanic that heals the party or themselves. Then flip it again and have a regular healing check. Have raise insta kill things at a certain point, or whatever.

Lore wise, I guess it makes sense? The light is strong in the first, so if you encounter a dark aspected whatever, healing (light aspected) then becomes damaging.

Dunno food for thought.

1.5% royalties please.

Happens in fights like Shinryu. Pretty sure healers will have more to do in 5,0
Boss AOE Spam Eleganza Extravaganza

Yea Shinryu ex had a nice healer heal as dps check. But yea I’m all for going in this direction

It would be interesting to see raise used in a more mechanic sense rather then mistake sense as well

How about we, you know, wait to play healers in 5.0, instead of thinking about possible solutions to hypothetical problems about changes that no one, outside of the media tour, has had a chance to actually play?

amen to this. people are just making healer threads cause its "hot" right now to get attention. (like healers need anymore). healers are in the best shape they are in and cant wait til SHB releases so we can move on to more important things like exploration open world content and climbing

Sorry, this sort of logical thinking is not allowed 'round these here parts.

Pre-Stormblood: "Shut up, you haven't played it yet."
Stormblood: "Shut up, you're not 70 yet."
Level 70: "Shut up, raid tiers aren't out yet."
Raid Tiers: "Well, maybe they'll make adjustments."

Next expansion (Repeat above)

Pfft, feedback is for when it's too late to change anything, not before! Don't you know that!?

You're supposed to wait until after the crash and THEN apply the brakes!

You're worried about that iceberg up ahead? Ah it's probably nothing guys, no need to change course, everything will work out fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

I can see your point.

And as funny as this may be, your point as well. Right now is the best time for feedback. And I have a friend who is genuinely unhappy with the healer changes, namely AST, so yeah I get it.

Couple fights in WoW spring to mind like Valithra Dreamwalker and Tsulong where healers have to heal the boss on top of healing the group dealing with mob waves. There could also be a boss fight like the grand fate in Churning Mists with DPS damaging the boss while healers heal the NPC fighting it alongside the players.

With how MP and Piety will be in 5.0, those sort of fights might be something interesting to see play out.
