Please continue bringing up AST and SCH issues.

My SCH is fine thanks, very happy with it. My only real complaint was losing Energy Drain and that's back now. Please don't change anything SE. WHM is an absolute blast of fun to play though I'm not up to 80 yet. Can't comment on AST but my friends who have levelled it are happy with the changes that just happened and aren't looking for more. Overall, SE, judging by the comments of folks in my FC and crossworld linkshells, most players are fine with the healers as they are. It's just habitual forum users who are unhappy

Well now what a wonderful dismissive attitude. Where do all these people come from so suddenly? AST's card system gets gutted for this simulacrum. It's not just "habitual forum users" unless you live under a rock.

You're pretty dismissive of people's complaints there. And I'm not one to dismiss those who're having fun with it, hey great for those who're having fun, people like what they gonna like. But it seems the job has been changed to move away from what I like over the years, so I'm no longer having fun. I'd rather a happy medium TBH.

But I've played SCH since the very beginning. I was happy in ARR and HW, I didn't complain. I started to complain in SB just outside of the forum & mostly to myself and ShB kinda was a nail in the coffin, hence I've become vocal on the forums since. I'm not one normally to complain on the forums as I have previously taken hope that SE will fix anything that doesn't work or I accept that maybe whilst I don't like this one thing, but I still like this other thing, other people might like what I don't like and as long as I'm having fun overall, then it's fine.

Judging by the survey that went out through Reddit, most healers aren't fine with the way they are. I realise there is a statistical bias to the Reddit community, but arguably one of the better representations we have at the moment and more reliable than anecdotal evidence at least. And SCH ranked the least satisfied with a proportionate number of dissatisfied people. Though these were pre-5.05 stats, but I doubt Energy Drain would provide that much extra QoL to boost that rank.


Add too that the healer forums here have been pretty much on fire. A lot of people offering feedback and input and some of the main threads ranking up a high number of likes.

I really don't think it can be easily dismissed as "habitual forum users who are unhappy", you will always get them on forums, yes, but I'd argue what we're seeing is proportionally higher than what you'd expect for it to be dismissed as such.

Have you been to on the JP forums? JP AST thread has been pure chaos after the live letter, it has calmed down a bit because people told the ones who were writing they were quitting the job that it is a forum and not twitter lol, but it was tons and tons of people complaining (different people too, unlike here where is a smaller group) about the changes, with 40+ likes on post.

If you think we have been loud and obnoxious you haven't seen their mother language counterpart, each day new players flood to the forum to write a formal complaint, SE messed it up real bad this time, we all know instead of bringing WHM up with the other two, they decided to gut the others instead.

JP players are getting to get upset that it seems not even they are being listened, instead taking the feedback form external places.

That's kind of the problem though; i.e. with all 3 healers now more of less the same (pure heals with boring downtime-kits) you are either going to like all of them or like none of them. So yes, you may be fine with the way healers are, but for people that previously enjoyed SCH and / or AST (and found WHM boring) there is no longer a choice.
