Thread: Does anyone else think BLU feels improved from 4.5?

Gave it another try this patch, plot twist: playing healer as a BLU is way more fun and engaging than playing a "real" healer job.
So yes, it kind of improved for me but in a weird/wrong way.

Aetherial Mimicry (Healer) + Pom Cure is a godsend for Carnivale runs.

It's gotten way, way better. Which just makes me more upset it can't do real content.

I enjoyed it before, it feels way better now, if they keep improving it like this each time I'll be happy.

BLU healing is only fun in easier content IMO, mostly because you can scarcely afford to do anything but heal in coil or Alexander Savage when an auto + instant tank buster can potentially kill the MT if they aren't topped off.

That's more of an issue with how squishy BLU tanks are due to lack of HP/mitigation, though.

Feels weird but nice having to actually, y'know, heal instead of spending 90% of the time dpsing. Even if we only really do because Blu tanks feel like tissue paper.

The only thing I miss as a healer BLU is insta cast ogcd heals like Tetragrammaton... With blu tanks being really squishy, you simply can't afford to - not - have your gcd ready for a Pom Cure. On that note, they really need to get more defensives.

The Carnivale at least felt leagues better with Healer Mimicry + Pom Cure. Before, you could maybe recover from one mistake period, due to the way White Wind sucked all your HP and wouldn't do anything if you were already low; now, you can actually heal yourself! Go figure.

... so of course, there's fight #29 ...
