Fixing Every Healer Job

[SirShady]

how would we feel about a change like katoar suggested for WHM?

I posted my feedback in his thread. Mixing and matching elemental combos is a great concept, but the way he has it outlined is very clunky. As Shurrikhan already stated, the self-damage makes absolutely 0 sense. There is no reason for it to be there. The numbers just don't add up as far as Faith stacks go (why are two of the spenders odd numbers?), and depending on which combo gave the most overall potency, you'd really only be cycling through one combo to get either Seraph Strike or Spiritual Ray. Changing Benediction, one of the most loved White Mage buttons, into an AoE cleanse makes no sense, doesn't tie with Blissful Sacrifice at all, and the button bloat is a bit much too. Gameplay-wise, I think the fact that you have to use a pointless AoE cleanse, in order to deal damage to yourself, in order to get stacks, in order to save them to be able to use on abilities that cost an odd number of stacks, in order to use whichever of the damage combos deal more damage... Just doesn't make sense, frankly. Conceptually though, I love the creativity and would definitely enjoy seeing a combo magic system like this for Geomancer.
