    I feel like this isn't the type of pill we are meant to swallow.

Like, giving ED a second stack, having ES, CU and CO might be good enough somehow. I just still don't really understand the huge CU nerf given that Asylum and more importantly Sacred Soil received buffs. But as they say "potencies may be changed" so... /schrug
    I always thought Earthly Star was AST's analogue to Asylum and Sacred Soil since it came out. I suppose the other skill (Is it CU?) from AST may fit more closely for sure now, though.

    I can't help you dealing with it, I mostly play Warrior and we go in panic mode the very second we see that we aren't the best.
    But I'm pretty sure we could ask a BRD, MCH or SMN to give a TED talk on "How I somehow survived big changes that almost killed my job". These guys have some experience in the field.

    Edit: Soz, I forgot to include the bit about AST when it actually was the serious part of the post I made... Dunno what happened with my copy/paste.

    Yeah, but even if AST already as the tools to achieve that "not feeling bad about healing" I was talking about, there is still some weird stuff going on there with them.
    Firstly, I'm worried about are potencies and cooldowns (I know they might change, but still). Like, Collective Unconscious is 50 pot for 15s (250 total pot), and Celestial Opposition is 100 base potency with 60pot/15s regen (400 total pot including initial heal) or 150% barrier... but with a 2mn cooldown on it.
    Secondly, Horoscope and Neutral sect still rely on GCDs to be effective, and they don't have some kind of Afflatus Misery mechanic to make up for it. So I'm not really sure what was the intent here.

    Eh, I'm waiting to see where it goes. It's not as if I don't have leveled tanks or DPS to run with if it ends up too boring, and I'm one of the healers that has the most fun when things start going south and I still keep everyone going. There is potential for this to work out. Just...We have to hope it does, and that everything pre-Shadowbringers doesn't turn off potential new healers.
