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

[ForsakenRoe]

Personally, I’d be happy with just Biolysis and a Second DoT, Miasmalysis lol?

All I'd ask for is:

Broil V (we know it's coming), 300p
Biolysis, 30s, 350 total
MiasMalady/MiasMalaria/MiasMalign pick any pun you like, 24s, 340 total (30 per tick, 100 on cast)
Shadowflare, AOE blast around target, drops puddle centered on them. 100p on cast, plus 50p per tick (total 350). This makes the move also be a gain to use in AOE pulls, but not enough damage to spam instead of AOW.

That's all. It's not like this would suddenly make the class be 'BlackMage hard to play'. Let us hit em with the MiasMumps Measles and Rubella SE


Unrelated to the above pitch, doesn't it make sense that SE would say 'we didn't really know what to do with SCH', having neutered it's DOT focused identity in SHB? As in, if it still had, say, the above pitch for DOT kit, wouldn't they have found it easier to fit a new skill in, like idk Salted Earth SCH ver., 'it makes your Shadowflare puddle bubble up and deal 100p more damage, as an OGCD!' kind of thing? By insisting on the healers having such simple DPS kits, they've artificially hamstrung their potential design space on what to give the jobs. And it's super apparent on WHM, because that job is a 'pure healer'. It can't get shields, that's Barrier healer stuff. It can't get buffs that help deal damage, that's AST territory. So instead it just gets the Overheal Weed, and Aquaveil which, while cool, could also have just been a Trait/Upgrade to Benison to add the effect of 'while the shield holds, damage taken is reduced by X% too'
