Thread: Healing responsibilities after 1.20

Much in the same way paladin is going to haveto sacrifice some of HP and STR in order to garner the largest defensive stats.

it don't really matter if they take the nukes away or just make them near useless, i can't see WHM ever using nukes

maybe, i can't say i thought of that, but in any case it seems to me this would be minor sub job for the WHM to do at the very beginning of a long boss battle. and by no means the primary focus of WHM, it one of them things that will be helpful if it hit but i don't think it would be the difference between life or death. nor do i think it really makes much of a difference to the OPs concerns on how to set up his CON with materia, primary job healing that is your only real concern

I don't see where you are getting less to work with as far as curing goes. As a healer currently, you are pretty much using the same spells as what was listed with action reforms.

Light Cure
Heavy Cure
Curaga

These skills scale with level. Light cure, I'm assuming, will start out as a Cure I equivalent then scale to a Cure II. Heavy will be your Cure III and the Curaga will scale in the same way as Light Cure. As far as healing goes for CON nothing really looks like it is going to change.

I just don't think cnj is going to have the ability to nuke and cure in a real situation, the reason is enmity, cures are a lot of hate, taking away tiers of cures means your one cure will cure for max potency possible every time, you have no choice to choose a lower tier down. Even with the way maging is now on thm or cnj, you have to watch your hate if you want to cure and dd. The fact that they took sac from thm means CNJ will be curing full time probably, and if we need magic dmg it will be done by a thm. Because thm won't have to worry about incurring hate from cures, they will only have to worry about nuking. I know personally I don't even have the patience to sit there and attempt to see if a cnj can dd, I don't care about what they want to do personally if there main class role is to heal. I like the class changes due to the fact they're trying to hone classes into roles, I've been personally tired of hearing people in my ls doing the stupidest things just to see if they're class can do something its obviously not meant to do,with cnj its not like that, it has nukes lets see if they work but mainly,even if conj can dd the community won't care because you're the only mage with cure, and when there's a thm around there would be no reason to stack two cnj so one can dd and one can cure, if you have the time to nuke i'm sure no one cares, but if you come into a party saying, i want to try nuking a little more, so stack up another cnj just in case, people are going to think that's ridiculous.
