4.2 healer adjustments

**Vyriah** · 01-27-2018 01:00 AM

That's certainly the closest to nothing update we could have got. I expected samll changes like 15 sec CS or Esuna out of cross-class actions and got even less. The DB change is hilarious, as it is now, you can use it every 30 sec if you want when there's nothing better to use it on it the next 30 sec.
It went from "pain to use" to "too good for its own sake".

The really sad part of this is when you notice that any of those changes directly concern healers themselves.

10 more seconds on Spear?! Soon my TRUE power shall be unleashed! Mwahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!

Its actually pretty sweet, and the DB change is great - I love my bubble shield!

Or how to make lilies even more pointless. I hope they review those at some point.

I agree with Tridus. The DB change is great but ignoring Secret of the Lily II is mind boggling.

At least WHMs now have a reliable shield.

Yeah, Secret of the Lily II really is dumb as it is. Hopefully we will get something there in the near future.

Who thought putting a minor recast time reduction behind two instances of RNG was a good idea? =_=

If I get a crit on my Cure/II spell I have a 20% chance to reduce my Assize/Asylum recast by 5 seconds! Look forward to it fam!

DB already had the CD reduction depending on lilies, same as the other abilities. It still has that. Only change is that you can now use it with zero lilies.

DB change is awesome news. Shield on demand without having to waste MP on cures is going to be welcome. Though this does make the Lily system even more useless than it already is. AST changes are fine. Extra 10s buff to Spear is nice. Still leveling SCH, but changes to Excog seems nice. Looking forward to playing it at 70. Icing on the cake

When they said "Increasing the other healers' usability in general" I honestly thought it would be some unnecessary thing about role actions, so I actually got more than I was expecting.

The Divine Benison change is definitely the highlight, as boring as it is, it's still kind of a big deal. It's a pretty meaty free shield on tanks, so it's nice to see that WHM has very reliable and almost on-demand mitigation for tank busters now.

Real talk, tho, it's refreshing that the Healer forums can finally sit back in peace and eat pop-corn while looking at the fire in the DPS and Tanks forums LOL

Or the MSQ roulette mess. We're a little bastion of tranquility.
