Fixing Every Healer Job

[Shurrikhan]

Not to be /that/ person who nitpicks something minor but back in ShB Broil III was at 290 potency and Biolysis was at 70 potency. Broil III being at 255 only became a thing with the stat squish and Biolysis' potency didn't change.

Sorry, perhaps I should have said "until EW levels" or "until level 82", but the point still remains:

From levels 72 to 81, your DoT does 275% of your filler damage, offering 3.5 extra filler cast's worth of damage per minute for perfect uptime. That's relatively significant for a DoT, making it much more important than, say, Dia's 227% of Glare and extra 2.55 filler casts per minute for perfect uptime.

After level 82, SCH's DoT's relative importance decreases to 237% of filler damage and an extra 2.75 filler casts worth of damage per minute, under 80% of its former significance.

Before potency was shuffled from Broil III to Biolysis with EW release, this would have been 241%, and an extra 2.83 filler casts per minute for perfect uptime, nearer to what we see later. But whether that's for the better or not is arguable.


At any rate, it's just a matter of how significant one wants their DoTs to be, which is most easily viewed by the number of bonus filler casts' value they give per minute, given perfect uptime. For that reason, any decrease in duration will necessitate an increase in DoT potency if the affected DoT's relative value is to be retained.
