I'm bored when I heal because I need more complex DPS rotations

Interesting and mildly relevant topic point:

Healing Coop Azhdaha in Genshin with characters like Kokomi was an absolute blast. As soon as I got the likes of Furina the fun was gone.

Why? Even though I could still heal plenty enough on Kokomi, positioning and mobility was supremely challenging, if I dropped my Jellyfish in a bad spot I wouldn't be able to move it for a good long time leaving a gap in healing long enough that anyone eating the dot would likely die, so I had to plan and adjust on the fly around unpredictable teammates. The fight put me under pressure and made me pay attention.

Meanwhile Furina is a lot like a current day XIV healer in that she effectively has no real limit (At least not that can be tested by the majority of content assuming a vaguely competent level of play) nor restrictions to her healing. She can flip the switch to heal at anytime and she can reposition and refocus the healing at anytime. Even though her actual healing output isn't actually any higher than my Kokomi, she completely nullified the pressure the fight put me under.

Whilst yes, the healing requirements in modern day content are a problem, it's not the only problem, not by far.

P12s. This is the problem.

Is P10S any better?

I’m assuming he meant “wow even on P12S” not “this is only a P12 problem”

To be fair, Furina's healing comes at the cost of her Hydro application whereas Kokomi's does not.

Imagine what it looks like for non-relevant content

Replace all those GCD heals with more Glaroilficosis. Cut off some of those oGCD casts too.

I just noticed that while I was unsubbed they buffed every heal’s radius except the one whose niche was the big radius. I get the hate for fey blessing now - when they first created them, fey blessing and consolation were the only heals SCH had with the big radius. I don’t think these devs play their own game.

People hate the massively increased radius because it's a solution to a problem that the dev team made themselves. They massively increased the boss hitbox size, so in order to make the melee disengage, they have to make the arena bigger, and since the arena is now massive, healer tools can no longer reach everyone easily, so they just boosted the size of healer tools.

Heal radius buffs are an entire nother issue that annoys me, cure 3 has basically superseded medica 1 in all but it’s astronomical MP cost, increasing the bubbles radius has ruined a lot of the old strategy in fights like thordan where soil placement was super important to your mitigation plan and it’s also kinda ruined SCH’s niche as a totem healer; who cares that SCH can have the fairy on the opposite side of the arena cast whispering dawn to hit people the SCH can’t when physis can hit the next instance over. No more black chokers mechanics anymore considering that SGE, temperance and the bubbles can hit literally anywhere in the instance

Even then with the massive arenas half of SGE’s healing still hits the next instance over, what is the justification for shit like 30yalms on physis or 50 yalms on temperance

Gotcha, though considering P10 has Harrowing Hell, that's also a feat worth referencing in this conversation.
