Hi, I have two request regarding WHM in ShB
1 - make assize stack to 2 charges. The reason is simple, assize is such a great dps tool that keeping it only for healing is usually not worth it unless the damage comes quickly after the CD refreshes or the upcoming mechanic requires very heavy healing.
In term of dps, it would just result in assize having one more use per encounter. With ShB Dia having 300 potency, 1.3 more dia per encounter will not break WHM dps in any way, but the additional flexibility will surely make the skill more enjoyable.
Regarding healing, assize isn't a very strong ability in that regard. 400 potency every 45s is much weaker than indom and ES. Yet again, one more use will not make a significant difference in term of healing potency to veteran healers. However it would be a great change for newcomers healer who might rather have an extra ogcd heal ready.
While it would be a buff, i don't think it would make WHM op in any way. I havnt tried Eden savage so who knows, but I doubt an extra assize per fight will break the job.
2- increase Asylum radius to 9yalms. Let's be clear, even with the change, Asylum is still weaker than SCH dome (with a regen now) and AST CI even without CO to extend the buff.
The reason it is weaker is because most encounter don't allow your group to stack in a small 6 yalm radius zone for an extended period of time.
Since azylum only purpose is to heal, that is a big problemz. CI and Dôme both have a mitigation aspect which don't require the group to stand in the said zone for a long period of time.
On top of that, SCH dome will now have a regen attached to it making it strictly superior both in term of CD and utility as 10% less dmg taken >>> 10% healing received.
Healing receives doesn't prevent the group from dying, mitigation does. Yes, SCH dôme does have a ressource cost attached to it. But it still strictly superior to Asylum.
Asylum suffered from mostly being used as a tank regen too many times.
Increasing its radius to SCH size would at least elevate that issue as it would be much easier to have the group stick within it.
I do think it's CD should also be reduced to 60s tho, but that's debatable. Anyhow, if a single change must be done, please consider increasing its radius.
It will not break the spell, it will just make it easier to use.
Side note, with ShB reduction of most HoT duration, applying the same design to Asylum could be a very good thing. (100% more heal 50% 'ess duration, same net heal, just faster)
