Thread: Suggestions to Buff/Change WHM

If they want to make us a pure healer then at least make us have quite a lot higher DPS to make up for the buffs Ast can provide a raid. But things needs to be able to proc from regen or Medica II - even if its only a far smaller chance for those skills.

Well at this point we'd have to play around with our existing abilities. Staring at our newly spare toolkit, there are two abilities that were highly situational for their use in the first place and seem to remain behind for the illusion of utility.

Keep them but improve their functions:
1) Make Repose an AoE similar to BLM. Situational group sleep might be effective now and again.
2) Make Fluid Aura an AoE Bind and remove the knockback from it.

Remove them for a more important skill:
1) Swap Repose for Stoneskin I.
2) Swap Fluid Aura for Stoneskin II and give it a secondary that allows us to cast it in combat tied to the new Lilly system.

Keep the two but totally change the functions:
1) Repose is now 'Serene Repose' an instant cast that puts an Auto-Raise buff on the target with a likely short timer.
2) Fluid Aura is now a group reflect buff that reflects a capped % of damage back at mobs.

That's without touching the RNG mechanics or adjusting potency and costs.

Just a couple of my ideas, not sure if they've come up in other threads...

1. Scrap the lilies in favor of a Divine Intervention gauge that increases with all direct heals, Assize, and Holy. When the gauge reaches 50%, you can either activate it to ready all OGD abilities (perhaps with a 60-90 second recast to keep in from being op?), OR use it at 100% to cast Divine Intervention, 300 potency heal/AoE damage, and places a HoT on all party members in range and/or perhaps grants damage reduction of 10-20% for 15s.

2. Add a trait to Medica/Medica II to allow a 15% chance to proc a free and/or instant cast Medica/Medica II.

3. Give WHM a single-target ability to ready all OCG abilities for target.

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

Wow just look at this. This sounds incredibly fun to play, and not even too strong or broken. It promotes different ways of healing, it promotes DPSing, it gives us synergy and utility. SE did you even try?...

Thanks, lol.

I am a game design student, so this is the kinda stuff I talk about all day with my classmates.
