Suggestions to Buff/Change WHM

[AlphaSonic]

People tend to forget that +%HP based shields scale the same way a Mind ones. Since Mind and HP scale at the same rate more or less. We've seen it in Heavensward. Stoneskin is a shield that ranges between 3k and 1.8k depending on the target. Adlo constantly applies a 4k shield with a heal with the same gear as a WHM. For an ultimate ability I wouldn't think it's bad since basically, if you give it a long cooldown you gate it.

The only difference between Adlo and Stoneskin is that Adlo scales with your own gear and Stoneskin scales with other people's gear.

Hmm, is it not just a flat %? I imagine that if your target has 10,000 HP, a 10% shield would value at 1,000. Is it different than that? I haven't heard anything about that.

I posted this elsewhere, but I'll post it here, too.

Have lilies proc on all GCD heals rather than just Cure and Cure II. Maybe drop the proc rate to 10-15% for Regen/Medica II ticks so it isn't insane.

Instead of having the lilies decrease the recast time on a single oGCD, have them give a buff to them instead. 1 lily gives a 5% potency boost to Asylum/Assize/Tetra, 2 lilies give 7%, 3 lilies give 10% or something along those lines. Or maybe they increase the range by 1 yalm for Asylum/Assize and potency on Tetra.

Maybe once we get to 3 lilies, Raise becomes Reraise. If a party member is dead, raising them brings them back sans weakness, while casting it on a living party member bestows Reraise.

Have Confession stacks be generated by GCD attacks. We hurt the mob and it confesses its sins to us. We can then apply those confession stacks as needed for a powerful instant heal at the time of our choosing, or grant an AOE haste around the target. Anything other than having it on a timer + RNG proc.

Addendum: I'd also really love more damage+heal combos like Assize. There's just something super appealing about healing so hard we punch things in the face.

I actually like this. To piggyback off your idea why not make utility based off our elements earth, air, and water spawn off our lily system? Instead of getting cooldown reduction off our OGCD's we can play how we normally play and reward our party when we do have lilies.

What these elemental utility spells actually do....that's beyond me.

The lilies actually need to have meaningful choices though whatever they end up becoming. Scholars need to make a choice on what they spend their aetherflow on, because they won't get any more stacks until a minuite later. Astros actually decide what card is best for their group (balance these days), and if they want to expand, enhance, or extend their cards. What are these lilies going to do for me? How can I make the most out of it? Cooldown reduction I feel is very underwhelming, how many times do you royal road that spear instead of using it on yourself on Astro? It just needs more depth overall, in my opinion.

I think PI still needs to be reworked though or it'll just be a tank heal we can use if we get lucky to DPS even more..unless that's what SE wants us to do?

He meant that a %shield scales in the sense it runs off the target's vit rather than our mind. For example if we bump mind that tank is still only getting a 3.3k shield. But if he gets but that could become 3.5k. Meanwhile a SCH or AST can cast stronger shields in tandem by raising their stats and, quite often, heal far more than the 10% of a tank's health that SS provided us, translated to shielding.

Until a tank's HP gets so stupid high that the other healers can't heal 10% of their health with one shield spell SS and other %shields aren't overpowered at all.

Here are my ideas...

Flood (Replaces Fluid Aura)
Cast time: Instant
Recast time: 60s
Single-target damage (Potency: 400)
Effect: for 15 seconds, any ally that attacks this target with actions that cause damage has a 15% chance of gaining a Confession stack for each attack.
Flood is also affected by Secret of the Lilies, and Secret of the Lilies II

Secret of the Lilies - Chance to gain a lily
Single Target healing: 30%
Single Target damage: 15%
Multi-Target healing: 3% Per ally healed
Multi-Target damage: 3% per enemy hit
DoT and HoT ticks do not count.

New effect:
Each lily adds 5% attack speed boost while in bloom.

Regen and Medica II no longer consume Lilies

I would be excited for 4.0 WHM if it were like this. This at least sounds fun even if it maybe still would not compete with the Balance card's non nerfed existence.

I made a post about how I'd do the AST cards as well. It would be so much nicer if it felt like each card had a use, and that use wasn't making Balance stronger.

Been discussing this with my co healer over the past few hours.

- Make Fluid Aura apply a vulnerability up debuff to enemies so the spell can be somewhat useful and not just forgotten about. Maybe with more lilies, the potency of the Vulnerability up could increase. I'll probably be keeping it off the bar in 4.0 because of the changes to it.
- Give WHM an actual piece of utility magic like 'Bravery' which buffs everyone's DPS for a short time.
- Crit ticks on HoTs have a 15% chance of giving lilies instead of us having to play an RNG lottery of cure spam in order to gain them.
- Every 30,000 points of damage you inflict gives a lily so doing DPS is encouraged.

Honestly... Your idea is really great.
