Thread: Patch 5.2 Feedback

I agree on the point healer being boring and bland as hell. But we can’t argue that healers are balance wise in the best spot since years. World first did shiva as whm/astro. Sch isn’t a must have anymore. The problem is making healer fun again will 100 change the entire balance again, but I rather have fun jobs then perfect balance in dmg and utility.

Do you think healers are fine and are not in need of some tweaking?

I find SCH uninspiring and lacking meaingful drive. Still. It is as boring as it's been since 5.0.
Increasingly worrisome and faith in the company is decreasing for every "Dr. Breen reads letter from Concerned Citizen" with how one-way-only they handle communication.
I can't speak for whm or ast, but I do believe SCH is in need of not of tweaking but a serious overhaul, or retrohaul back to 3.0 and whoever prioritized numbers over gameplay for the job recieves a restraining order to never come within 100 feet to it again.

Yeah, I mean for those that competed tooth and nail for a spot I'm sure it's peachy and the world races probably dazzles viewers on twitch looking at jobs with such steamy vestibular and somatosensory systems you could place them on a needle's pin at any angle and they'd never fall over.

But take a step back and you see their shape is just matted, gleamy surface. They're completely round, without a hint of imperfection, indentation, nuance or incoinvenience. It's just totally inoffensive with none of ones idea about gameplay challenged, so much it loops back and becomes a shape most grotesque.

That parties can take any healers and clear what constitues less than one percent of the game's content is probably good news. Hey remember when people said DRK wasn't meta or some crap and then world first UCoB cleared with DRK? But I wouldn't know. I've never competed against ast or whm for a spot, never judged my job's worth for what a number said on some website or swapped around what I play the moment Internet declears Jaffa cakes are meta and so do a lot of people I know.

What we do know is that jobs that felt good *anywhere*, even synced down, now don't feel good at all as I keep having to explain to new players they'll be stuck with one casted spell and one dot for eighty levels, near thousands of quests and hundreds of dungeons and that it wasn't a bug that made them lose Aetherflow and Energy Drain when they unlocked Scholar.

If anything, now I can update this image.

Ast is still super fun and Sch is still a fun alternative when I want to do something different. That's my feedback.
