Glare

[Absurdity]

This! After the job actions trailer popped up, I feel like I've seen everything!

All these people are like "This is unprecedented! HUGE! Y'all can attack AND heal now!" As if good healers couldn't do that in the first place.

Then, they have the nerve to say that we're ungrateful after we question how any of that solves the 1 button spam.

It's because those people couldn't heal and dps before the change...they probably still won't be able to after the change. It's simply the state of a lot of people playing healer, their gameplay consists of 40% Cure 2, Medica 2, maybe a Lilly ability and 60% Netflix.

Anyone have a guess what the plant shaped like a heart in water fountain was from the job actions trailer?

people been comparing it to star but i doubt it does damage
its probably just an AOE that throws out a couple cure III/AOE heal over time

At least, it'll be smoother to weave support and healing abilities between each Glare which is something is a really good QoL for WHM.
Won't change that we still Glare a lot indeed, but better than holding certain abilities for weaving windows.

You can now get fed up of dpsing without clipping issues.


Honestly, good. I'm absolutely fine with a shorter nuke cast.

Still doesn't change the fact that Glarebroil spam isn't interesting gameplay, no matter how easy it and smooth it is

Funny thing is WHM was already on the higher end for healer dps.
Sage is being called a dps that heals, but I suspect this change will keep this one button damage class up with them.

As good, or bad, as that is.

Cast time reduction = best QoL change to happen to the healer role in forever
Divine Benison charges = only good because cast time reduction
Holy 2? = better still stun
Healing fountain = did WHM really need more heals? Give us more of literally anything to do that is not healing

Would have loved to see Fluid Aura stay and just have a new effect like generate a free Lily, like watering a flower, or something.

Considering how none of their job dev team really mains healers, it all make sense now why healer design has come down to what we have (and will get in EW). Combine that with their ignorance, all we can do is just Glare, literally & figuratively.

I read enough of these forums to know there's little correlation between maining healers and being able to design them.

They're DPS mains, and yet only two of the DPS jobs have been consistently well designed over every expansion.

Hey, don't attack Glare. WHM is so powerful they can kill things simply by standing there and looking at them angrily. How can you be mad at that?

[catofsnake]

what? this doesn't represent whm gameplay at all!
it's *precast glare, dia, assize, presence of mind*! you're losing all that assize cooldown without fitting it into the dia weave window /j
