[suggestion] A concept/suggestion involving LBs and healer optimization

[Tint]

healer optimization is UYBHSATT? also favoring damage over healing is a really bad thing. healing always comes first, rewarding dpsing more than healing might be a step in the wrong direction.

i like your idea of a personal LB in general, but shifting the roles even more?

i would like a system wich rewards me for proper healing, no overheal, pre-castet heals for big hits. and the LB should be a healing LB, not another damage gimick. a powerfull HoT would be nice, can be used to actual heal through rough phases or to go into cleric and don't have to worry about healing for a while.

encouraging heal-only healers to dps with a damage LB seems also not very logical to me.

what if the LB bar goes down if you are staying around (while in battle), doing nothing but overheal? xD

It will work that way. I never said the LB for healers would be a damage based one. All actions fill the individual LB. In the case of heals, the more they heal for, the more the LB gauge fills. So in the case of over healing, it won't fill that much at all, and in the case of recovering from a tank buster like you mentioned, you will without question get the full benefit, and even more so if the heal is buffed by another ability like Divine Seal or Fey Illumination.

The LB for healers will still be heal/buff based ones as I did mention that they are still role-based LBs, and if heals only healers want access to them to do what they love so much, they are going to have to add DPS to their repertoire.

It would be illogical. Sorry if I was not more clear that the LBs are still role-based just like the current system has it. Literally no different from our current LB system except less powerful.
