A summary of healer issues

[QooEr]

WHM/AST didn't have Embrace. They had to overcome an effective 2% DPS difference just from the regen tax alone. Nevermind all the other crap Scholar did.

i agree, i forgot to mention the free healing from the fairy that both also lacked and cut into their combined dps even more.

It's also why current Scholar isn't that bad. Free healing is good. Even if you can't control it perfectly.

I wouldnt say any of the healers are bad rn, just boring. If anything ast is too strong for the same reasons scholar was too strong pre-shb (most dps, endless free healing).


I concede that embrace was too strong back then, but at least fairy micromanging was something else you had the option to do if you wanted to try even harder to optimize healing. Current healing optimization is mostly letting ast do everything, begging your party to use their mitigations and healing whenever a weave window comes up. zzz
