"There wasn't much we could really do with SCH"

[MartaDemireux]

That’s gross and over complicated

If you actually read it, it boils down to about the equivalent to current SCH complexity (use the fairy buffs/heals as needed when they light up) with some aspects (fairy/seraph/Aetherflow) even less complicated than they are currently...

The only thing more "complicated" is the DPS rotation which simply adds 1 DoT spell and a mechanic that makes you cast Bio again sooner the more you cast Broil, simply to shake up the button presses while not punishing you for not making use of said mechanic.

youre talking to a most likely troll that probably would be happy if they got rid of healers' dots

That's barely more complex than healers already are, it would just change your rotation a little and add a small bit of mechanical nuance.

Excuse me, current healers are way too complex. We need Cure and Medica, with a passive trait that pulses 100 potency damage to a random enemy target when we're in combat, and ONLY in solo instances. Though come to think of it, targeting people is hard too. Screw it, Medica it is. 1000 potency Medicas for 0 MP per cast. Seeing my mana bar go down at all would trigger my need to fill any bar lower than 100%.

Don't spoil 7.0 healer changes to me like that, I wanted to keep the surprise

I don't post on the forums very much, but felt I had to at least voice my opinion.

I'm a very casual player, though I've been playing since around Heavensward, and it was rather disheartening to hear them say there was nothing they could do for SCH. While the job indeed works, it just feels very bare-bones compared to how it used to be around HW and StB.

SCH used to be one of my favorite jobs to solo with, for things such as Potd, HoH, Eureka and whatnot. Now I have a hard time staying awake trying to play it in anything aside from full party content. Doing MSQ and DF with SCH is an absolute chore right now imo and it doesn't look like anything is changing in terms of playstyle for Endwalkers.

Would it really have been too "complex" to bring back Miasma and add a Bane effect to Art of War? It would be somewhat reminiscent of old SCH without adding any real complexity. Since the pet management aspect is near gone, I feel like a lot of what made SCH complex isn't coming back no matter how many dps skills and/or debuffs they would bring back, so it couldn't have hurt to bring back at least two of them. I feel like that alone could go a long way toward making people happy. Either that or "something" to break up the monotonous Broil spam SCH has to do through most of the game's content.

I want a healer that gives me a gold star and a smiley face sticker with "good job!" and "well done!" on my screen every time I fill a health bar within 5 seconds c:

I see a few issues with this:

1. The damage pulse is random and I feel that hurts my contribution in AoE situations. It would be more rewarding if the damage pulse hit all enemies with no AoE falloff.
2. There's no mention of cast time so I am assuming you want it to be a 2.5s cast, correct? Cast times are dangerous, and all too often a target will DIE before my heal goes out, and so ideally this new Super Medica should be an instant cast.
3. Sometimes party members are off in Narnia, particularly those pesky Ranged players. If Healer LB3 is going to 50y, why not Super Medica? I'm a HEALER, I need to HEAL my party, even if they're suicidal idiots who would rather sit outside Asylum and screech about how the Healer hates them.

This new Super Medica would truly reward skilled play, allowing a Healer to take care of their party no matter where they are, instantly topping them up and allowing them to handle mechanics safely. Imagine a world in which you can solve the puzzle that is the newest Raid tier without having to worry about party members or complicated things like "cast times", or "rotations". Truly this would be peak Healer gameplay.

I would be happy but not because I’m a troll. No dot means I can focus on the boss/party/mechanics instead of a timer or be forced to set a reminder program to remind me of my dots.

You say that, but then...

No dot means I can focus on the boss/party/mechanics instead of a timer or be forced to set a reminder program to remind me of my dots.

...say things like this....
