Battle System Rant

[Shurrikhan]

I think the concern is that with each expac, healers are only going to get even more abilities that are not effected by the likes of Largesse. Of course abilities generally have higher potency to make up for the fact they are not effected by these pot boosts, but perhaps it could be nice to have a skill that effects abilities more in the future (not necessarily a pot boost, maybe like the ASTs old Spear effect that reduced ability recast times temporarily).

I'd prefer it that way, personally. Otherwise Largesse ends up just feeling like Power Surge did -- button bloat that acts only to make your abilities deal their "normal" effect, such that you're badly penalized if it falls out of sync. I have no interest in seeing that in what's supposed to be a precisely timeable and responsive toolkit.

What I'm not okay with is Defiance not affected ability-based healing. That's just a massive, blaring imbalance.
