Thread: 7.0 Healer Redesign Developer Comments

I know you're trolling but the idea of something like an instant cast raise with like 2 charges that refreshes on the same CD as Swiftcast would be a nice change. Could still keep the ability to hardcast for those times it's necessary but it might help take a little pressure off co-rezzers who use SC in their rotation. And get away from the mindset that the RDM especially is always going to do all raises since they're more efficient at it and move that responsibility a bit more back onto healer shoulders.

Would hopefully allow healers to have interesting rotations

Honestly I'm not against this. I've never been stuck so much on the healer part of healer as being the support role. When I tank, I want to take the hits and protect the party. When I dps, I want to melt all the things. When I heal, I want to support. And there are many ways to support. So long as a support role was still required, then something like this might actually work.

Energy Drain and Aetherflow are now deleted.

That's what I advocate anymore. Decouple ED and AF, give ED 2 charges, and make it a carbon copy of Phlegma so SCH has a bit more AoE.

As of now they're the only healer with a single aoe damage.

Take damage literally anywhere on the planet
