Healing Direction - is the current design balanced?

[Junpei]

You do realize, that spells Gradient on MP cost/ HP healed based on your current level.

So at level 1 the MP cost and HP healed will be low.

and at level 20 it will be equivalent to a Cure II.

Infact, did you even read the patch notes about them removing tiers and making everything scalable.

Did you think they didnt test any of their changes at all?

Like they supposedly tested the game before launch.

Things have changed a lot since launch. Also I'm sure things were tested before launch, they just weren't very good/complete ideas. Add onto that the fact that the game was probably rushed out the door before even the devs thought it was ready. The current team has done pretty well with the changes. Aside from a few oversights they've done a lot of things right.

Another example of people failing to read -.-

But you don't even know how much that single cure will do @ X lvl.....

This is not really relevant..

The issue at hand is what are you going to do when you need to cast two cure very fast and you only have one that is in recast timer after the first cast. It'snot like they can eliminate the recast timer or we would be right back to step one where a healer could just never stop healing and we would all be invincible all the time.

The only correct answer is that we're still only playing half a game. Even when we get 1.20.

On 1.21 there will be changes in medicine which, as it has been said, ate being done with the class changed in mind. It seems in addition to action healing, potions may become a bigger part of the game.

In the end, XIV won't be a complete game till 2.0. 1.x content will continue to be designed for what we have so far.

i remember yoshi-p saying his fav class was mage classes and that was all he plays when hes playing for fun. so if he is comfortable with the changes to the classes he likes to play (being that he has more likely played them and OP hasn't) i would say. play the patch for a week, then make up your mind

actually when yoshi was asked what class he played he stated directly he only played dd classes.

The main point he has is that Conjurers are stuck with a single cure and no AoE cure for most of the current leveling curve, not the actual potency of that one spell.
