I am sooooo ecstatic. These two changes made me extremely happy.

What do you all think? Most of the healer changes have been around the MP consumption of damage spells, a few range adjustments and such. AST's only change is increased duration of Combust (18s -> 30s).

DPS Neutral Afflatus Misery? in 2022!?
The lily generation time reduction sounds quite nice too - a bit closer to how it is in PvP, maybe I'll swing around on WHM a bit more than I do atm.

Must just be for consistency at lower levels(?), since the upgraded version (Combust II and upwards) already has a 30s duration.

And a nice extension to Scholar's faerie healing range, I suppose.

I rate this an Expedience new duration/10

The afflatus misery and addersting ones are much better than what I expected from SE, if they listened to that maybe there is a little hope for healers to stop being heal bloated 1 button spam jobs in the future

FINALLY.

This is what SE should’ve done from the start: buffing WHM to bring healers closer, not ruining their siblings >_>”

Although ngl, I’m a bit disappointed the 18s DoT is going away.

Its took 7 years but finally dark knight has a proper invul. 6000 plus 1 or 2 souleaters SHOULD be sufficient for a self sustain to get them back from 1. Needs testing for confirmation
and stalwart at 40, about time.

misery dps neutral at last

healers getting their damage button reduced in mp cost. See SE, you know everyone presses it, now give us some damage buttons to break up the monotony

rip kaiten

ninjas got some serious buffs

dancer...does this mean we can get 4 procs again during flourish? I hope so.

Those WHM changes give me a lot of hope.

Addersting is defenitly a nice QoL for trials or after the exceedingly rare wipe to a boss. Not sure how exactly I feel about it yet though, would have loved if they upped Toxicon Potency like they did for Misery. Then again the fact they finally did it for WHM makes me hopefull SGE will see a similar change soon.

DPS neutral lilies are a great change. Lilies themselves are still very boring buttons, but being able to heal without losing DPS, getting a Misery to use under buffs and get a little distraction from Glare spam is really good. More changes are needed in future patches, but this is a good start.

Addersting is also a nice change because I hated pre-pull shielding. Hopefully they will keep changing how addersting works though, because it's still a meh mechanic.

Surprised and annoyed they didn't address AST's button bloat, but I'm glad they didn't nerf Macrocosmos. They did announce possible 6.2 changes, so eh.

Nothing really new about SCH. Sad to see the sprint nerfed.

**Recon1o6** · 04-11-2022 08:12 PM

Its just stone 1,2 and 3 that got mp cuts. Glare is still 400mp so they've not actually done anything for its mp economy later.

I think the whm changes are very positive, and overall I personally am very happy with them. I'm sure most of us would have liked to see some sort of other mp costs reduced or mp generation buffs but I think the huge buff to lily generation, coupled with the major improvements to misery and liturgy, might be enough to alleviate whm's mp issues on their own. Time will tell obviously but they basically covered all the fixes the community was asking for so I for one am willing to give SE a thumbs up on this one.

The other healer changes, while generally more minor are also great, particularly sage getting some nice buff/qol features. Over all good stuff, nice job SE!
