I feel like only people who don't main astro think this. I have never once thought that define my skill as a healer. I am pretty sure our quick one shot healing abilities and utility in mp management of our own skills through long halls are what defined us. I remember when balance was utter shit, so I have never thought of it as the end all. Granted liked it for savage could push through something with someone down but was always a plus not the main attribute. But then again I feel healing always comes first.

I welcome any changes for the class but it's terrible seeing that the class keeps being blantely ignore. I still enjoy it tho

And another sad part is it got nerfed in the one piece of content where it is actually still fun to play.

I miss those days of pulling everything in natalan and going from death to full hp from one steel cyclone.

I know it's not new, but I feel it is really unfair to punish people for running savage by not dropping trunks. Some people just like the practice but then you also get parties that only run it with static that week and that is it. It's like saying hey you already did it, no helping others. I don't understand it, wouldn't make more sense to just stop from you getting a drop only that way we get to help other or for people like me who run with multi groups.

i think no buff to dragoon can fix its current state , it kinda need some reworking esp on Geirskogul CD at the very least

Most likely to be used with 1 stack but there are times you need to aoe heal more than once, susano Ex wide aoe and nidhogg ahk morn come to mind. I can actually see solo healing as a whm to be fairly easy now.

The exact text includes "HP is restored"

They will instead be granted a Confession when HP is restored via Medica, Medica II, or Cure III.

So for those healers casting Medica II on parties with full HP, no confession stacks. As it is with the Lilies, you don't get the Lilies if you cast Cure/Cure II on yourself or party members who have full HP (unless that was a bug?) It would be ridiculous to have it grant anything on HoT ticks. Wait for party damage, then everyone gets a confession.

As for how useful this is, not very. There's very few points in the game's regular content that you ever have to spam Medica, and you never have to spam Medica II. Keeping Medica II up and using Medica on top of that during Trials or Raids is more common, so those confession stacks might be useful in a situation where it gives you essentially extra panic room by using PI, but the previous way it was working was pretty much useless since you'd only ever have confession stacks on the tank, and rarely more than 1, even if you were using Cure II plenty, making it not useful at all.

As it is, people were vicious about the lilies before 4.0, and then once it was in the game, nobody gave a care about it. It's just there, and most people just use expend it on Assize recast time anyway. Divine Benison is the only skill that requires a lily present, and honestly if you're playing the game like the developers expect you to play, you should always have three lilies, especially with it applying to Cure I and Cure II.
