Thread: Favorite healer change previewed for 5.0?

I guess solo healing Savage could be fun...

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.

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.

Summon Seraph sounds like it’ll be cool. I just hope it’s actually worth using and that I won’t just be throwing Excogitation up and spamming Broil III.
Art of War seems cool, I do like having a new aoe because Miasma II got a bit boring lol, I’m excited to see the animations .
Also Sacred Soil actually being viable sounds amazing, it’s always been one of my favourite abilities but it’s never really been able to stand up to Indomitability/Energy Drain
Honestly I hope we maybe get to use Physick now, I’ve always thought it was the best looking of the healing spells but it’s not even worth having on your hotbar at the moment lol. Maybe with MP and Fairy changes it’ll at least be worth considering

They just re-used the Aura Blast animation and effect from PvP. Frame for frame. Go to Wolves Den Pier right now and try it out. You'll get to see what you will be spamming in dungeons for the next 2 years.

It is a cooler animation then Miasma II tbh.

If you say so. I think it looks like your character is picking up a quarter they found on the ground.

Glad Energy Drain has been removed from SCH entirely. Less glad SMN has to use it now. In general though I like the SMN/SCH split they did this expansion. And SE went ahead and fixed a few holes in the levelling curve so all healers are capable for old content too, which is really nice.
