Another thoughts on 5.0 Healers

[Roxas_Andrade]

Hi,

I just got to Lv 74 with my AST and started to play SCH to get on lv and get rid of some gear.

What was my surprise to see that SCH is a monster right now... I've seen a lot of people complaining about the use of Aetherflow in battle and the lack of more attack skills as they were before and I agree with all of them. But what I have to say is that with Art of War being instant and centered around the caster, SCH's life gets so easy... Of course there's the cost problems, nothing is perfect, you just get drained too fast.

But when I see SCH's kit with a lot of OGCD healing and an instant AoE, it makes me angry for AST.
AST has so much to do with the cards that we lack time to do things. When you see Gravity has a cast time and that it has to be targeted it's exausting.
For a PS4 player, I say that targeting is a problem (right now I have a macro that's Gravity <t> -> Gravity <tt> so I can spam it while targeting the tank). I know macroing isn't the best option for spammable skills, but that's the way to improve my gameplay...

It's just like I don't have the time to do stuff... Please Dev team, let's make it better:
- If we have some instant attack spell, we have time to use more Draw/Play
- If we have Asp. Benefic to last longer, we have more time to use Shuffle
- If we could get the seals out of combat, we would have time to do Sleeve Draw and all sorts of things that's too convoluted for us right now.

Also Celestial Intervention shield is too weak.

Also Also Give Celestial Opposition Stun back.

AlsoAlsoAlso SCH's Bubble is great!

Sure if you constantly ignore the complaints that have been made about many healing skills on SCH and AST. You need to learn how to read still. Fey Blessing being a tad weak for the 10 fairy gauge with a 60s cooldown? Celestial opposition healing for little and having too long of a cooldown?

You seem awfully oblivious to the healing complaints because of this "if you like to dps then play a dps" attitude you've been throwing around all day.

These things have DOZENS of pages worth over many threads. Mayhap you could spend less time moaning about "dps" and more time reading what everyone has been saying about the healing kits.

When you have so many oGCD heals where you do not need to spend nearly as many GCDs on healing then people wind up getting stuck looking at the lack of DPS options to keep them busy. It's why people focus on the lack of DPS options. They have too much time on their hand because of how many heal options they have that leave them open GCDs.

With regards to "Art of War", we already had Miasma II, which is an AoE centered around the healer, which gave both burst damage and a DoT. Art of War in a way is a downgrade from it but under a different name and animation. At least, Stormblood Miasma II, previous versions were slightly different. I think AST needs some work and I am glad you're enjoying SCH, funnily enough, I've done the reverse and have been trying out AST coming from a SCH, but I guess this may be because we might get something different out of our healers or have different desires. I want a bigger challenge and more to do in my downtime. That said, I am aware of the problems with AST.

On the contrary, one of my complaints has been that SCH has healed too well for a long time (which I've mentioned across multiple threads). Being overpowered has its novelty at first and can be fun for a little while as I was enjoying it in HW, but it can get boring after a while and your achievements as a healer feel less satisfying.

And the complaints aren't specifically because DPS sucks, it's because there's downtime (brought on by aforementioned godly healing) and our downtime just got more boring BECAUSE of the DPS changes (which has also been stated across multiple threads). If they put something there in its place instead, I'd wager that far fewer people would be complaining about the DPS changes.
