Fix how barriers work please

Yeah it is 8k. It’s actually more. In moonward gear my scholar and sage both heal for about 5150 to 5350 per heal. So that shield is more like 9k. Tying adderssting to the shield imo is what needs to be changed. If the shields can’t stack. I agree that shields stacking might be too much, but as it is now the two healers compete for space with shields.

Ahh, then I thought they were saying the crits were 8k. My bad.

But yeah, 2x 8k shields negates a lot of damage.

Sage and Scholar barriers shouldn't overwrite each other, they should be allowed to be stacked from different healers much like Regen effects can be stacked.

In End-game content it doesn't matter that much, as groups need to be pre-made you won't get overlap on the healers, but in random queuing for Normal difficulty raids, it actually hurts the group when you get 2 SGE, 2 SCH or one of both since they're going to mess up each others shields...

This would be an excellent way to turn SGE/SCH into the go-to healer comp for any serious content.

Big oof, no way dude. Double crit barriers would be way OP

This just makes me think that Sages really should have another type of buffing and just let Scholars be the only healing class who applies shields. Because otherwise yeah, if they fix the shields to have them stack one another that would just break the game. I agree that they just need to fix the numerical values between shields to only work allow strong shields to be in effect. Or maybe they could give sages shields to instead sacrifice its effect for a tad more potent heal when paired with a Scholar? Idk there's some ways to work around this so that both classes dont try to outclass each other.

I don't really see how being able to have 2 Galvanizes from 2 different SCH (or alternatively 2 Eukrasias) would be particularly OP.

It'll invalidate Astro and White Mage in any end-game content if you just need to bring the shieldy boys and girls to null a good chunk of damage 24/7.

My counter argument to that would be the absolute waste of MP of spamming Aldoquium or Eukrasian Diagnosis. As Regen and Aspected Benefic still heal more in total than those spells shield for...

I don't think this is the solution. IMO a good solution would be to have all shields function the way that re-applying Adlo after Critlo functions: the newer shield has no effect until the older shield is burst or drops off.

Excellent. Just delete AST and WHM in one swoop.
