Job overhaul expectations for Endwalker

[Vespar]

What I would like to see, is shield healers get specific shield types or separate shields so that when SCH and Sage or SCH+SCH are in a party they aren't overwriting each other.
I feel it would be nice so that in groups folks didnt have to worry if they were paired with another shield healer. Pure healers dont have to worry about this.. so it seems only fair.

Otherwise my only other worry is the stuff folks have been spewing about SE gutting SMN pets. Which I feel is unlikely but you never know.

I rather see all jobs simplified meaningless new abilities, but rather upgraded abilities as you level.

Machinist does it correctly, but allowing most abilities to simply be upgraded.

Right now my Gamepad left stick had my gamepad toolbar Level 50 abilities, 60 abilities, 70 abilities and 80 abilities for all the jobs I have.

My tanks have WAY to many abilities that I often have to remove depending on the level.

Why not just keep it simple instead of new abilities just focus on upgrading old ones? Every expansion, we lose or gain an ability. Why not simplify all of the abilities?

I would really like to see SMN and BLM get reworked quite honestly. I feel really bad picking BLM up off the floor in every Tower encounter (as well as any other time). SMN is pretty mobile but the dancing around with spells that you have to do is a full-time job that gets to the point of making it no longer interesting. I don't want to see them dumbed down to the point tanks were, but make so they make a little more 'sense' to play. Someone got crazy with the 'if, then' statements on the back end for SMN, lol.

BLM just needs some absolute mobile love. It's the one reason I don't play the class, and with so much AoE and dancing around on the raid dance floors to avoid dying, it's really taken away (for me) from doing good DPS with it. I'd pretty much default to an RDM, MCH or DNC if I go play DPS, but then I get too worried about the mediocre healing that takes place and end up going AST regardless. :\

That's... that's literally the point of BLM. Its the turret and gives high dps for "lack of movement." If you know what you're doing, it's a very mobile class and will have movement options when you need them

With skills like xenoglossy, sharpcast to force thundercloud and firestarter procs, triple cast, swiftcast, aetherflow and between the lines, BLM is actually extremely mobile in bursts, and is more than capable of functioning during high movement phases when necessary. Good applications of manaward will also allow a BLM to eat an aoe and continue their onslaught without melting like an ice cream out in the sun.

If anything, RDM actually lose the most damage out of the three casters during heavy movement due to not having the plethora of instant cast skills and phases a SMN has, or the aforementioned abilities BLM has. Outside of dualcast, swiftcast, corps-a-corps and displacement, RDM only has reprise as a movement tool which eats into their Black/White mana gauge.

Yeah. If your focus is just on endgame progression and you only run dungeons once for msq or w/e sure you may not use aoe that much.

But for those of us who do run dungeons a lot for leveling or tomes etc, aoe is something we do a lot.

All three healers need an overhaul

Hoping they restore Aero III for WHM as a starter I was annoyed over the removal of the flashiest AoE DoT. Also hoping healers get better reworks on their DPS side as well, we like to heal but we dont want to be railroaded into only healing with a 2 button DPS routine.

Aeoro III was so satisfying to cast. The animation was neat, the spell effect was impressive, and the sound really hit the ear well. It was also incredibly useful to have an AoE DOT, so of course they removed it because everyone really enjoyed it.

And it had the best animation too...I miss the windmill twirl you do when you cast it.
