Oh for sure. From that sort of perspective, it's only ever going to be a loss.

That's not the best angle to take if you really want to push things though. Think outside the box, it'll be easy enough to generate Blood Lilies during the first two boss fights. Depending on how big the trash pulls between end up, there's a very real chance that it'll be quite a significant gain to simply stock up on Lilies to drop a pair of Miseries on the trash.

Even Lilies were abusable in a similar manner in the likes of Ala Mhigo, squeezing out an extra couple of assizes on some of the particularly substantial pulls in the middle section of the run.

I'm looking forward to scholar in general. I would say the biggest thing is sacred soil being viable again. I've always loved using it and putting that big blue dome down.

I would say is a tie between Seraph, Recitation and the new Sacred Soil, I'm very dissapointed with how the job seems to be in 5.0 but those 3 changes give a lot of room for optimization in the healing which I personally enjoy.

Maybe with less overall damage dealing skills I'll get healed more.

Sorry, a lot of healers don't like rewarding DPS for standing in orange circles. That's like giving your dog a treat for pissing on the carpet. It's best to let the DPS die, let the tanks surpass them in total damage, and then res them. Gotta train them somehow.

More optimization choices (apart dps) for SCH, and play WHM for adds.

This may sound odd, but my favorite little change is actually the Adloquium Crit shield change. Yes, it's a nerf for Deployment Tactics, but it's a nerf that was probably needed, and more importantly, done right.

I guess solo healing Savage could be fun...

**Atlantasia** · 06-17-2019 01:49 AM

SCH's Seraph pet looks neat. That's about the only healer change I'm looking forward to. But I am very much interested in the Main Scenario Questline for Shadowbringers and raids.

The cards all being a DPS boost from ast so I'll never again see trolls giving a spire card to a monk with full TP and a balance card to a PLD. Those days are gone. Now it's what everyone wants... dps boost. But that aside I'm waiting to see how healing is going to be cause from the media we might get more healing in dungeons. The 73 dungeon from the media even hits harder, Merry died from trying to pull wall to wall. So this if nothing else will be interesting.

That and pets being easier to use. That pet hotbar was evil.

**EaMett** · 06-17-2019 03:46 AM

As a SCH the healing kit is exciting in general. Although it's sad that optimization will not feel that rewarding but alas.
Other than that I'm really hyped about literally everything else that isn't healers. Especially DNC >.> I can live the support dream and have fun. Just a shame my static doesn't require one.
