Macrocosmos completely invalidating the P3S heal check is stupid

[Rolder50]

I feel like a good solution to Macrocosmos in these situations would be to give it a max value it can heal in one go. I'm thinking it could cap at 50% of the target's health bar, since theoretically that's the max they should be able to take in damage anyway. It'd still be a fat heal and very useful, but not an instant solve.

As a melee, i prefer whm for p3s. Healer lb3 breaks the mechanic, the dps check is a joke if no one dies. I had the boss die at deaths toll my first reclear in pf. Most importantly, I don't take a dps loss using lb3!

In the last Interwiev from SE with famitsu:

"Jobs that players complained about (low in DPS, healing ability and what not) will be rectified for 6.1. However there will be certain actions that are currently too powerful at its present state have its effect adjusted downwards (a.k.a nerfs)." (Translation from the FFXIV Reddit team)

So SE find no anwser to buff the whm in a good way. That is a hard hit for ast in my eyes but as I read the thread I see that is not wellcome.

I hope the AST hater are happy now...

Have a good day anyways.

Wouldn't be shocked if thats the case. Look at Shadowbringers. All they did to White Mage was make the Lily System more coherent. Nothing much else. It was putting AST and SCH into the ground that made WHM actually look good for once. Instead of raising WHM up to the bar, they lowered the bar down to WHM. It's how the devs have treated this role.

To be fair, if they cap it at 50% max heal or something it wouldn't be unreasonable. Macro is a little too good. But AST nerfs are at the bottom of the list, they really need to fix WHM first and I fear they aren't going to bother.

Looks like Macro survived patch 6.1 so it is working as intended.

Are the Astros still in here flinging themselves at the fainting couch over the very idea that Macrocosmos shouldn't be a mini healer LB3 for a mechanic that was clearly not designed to be so casually cheesed?

Don't worry, if they throw a cap on its healing value you'll still outclass WHM in every single way. I swear, the total defensiveness over this one ability being blatantly OP.

If you had the vertical leap and height of Lebron James, you still wouldn't be able to stop the point from wooshing over your head.

That Macrocosmos is overpowered? Because it is.

Macrocosmos being hard capped is the least of my worries.

I am still waiting on:

- better card system
- radius nerf of Earthly Star (because I for one still find 30y to be friggin ridiculous and cumbersome to place)
- moderate nerf to Astrodyne regen until a better card system comes
- an identity other than WHM (but better/lite/2.0)
