Thread: 7.0 Healer Wishlist

I’m a big doomer as I’m sure you all know but I do think we may be getting a bit out of hand even if the treatment of healers justifies our mistrust

The EW benchmark showed

WHM- medica 1 and aquaveil
AST- fall malefic
SCH- protraction
SGE- prognosis

Even though EW did functionally nothing for healer design the good buttons we did get (expedient and macrocosmos mostly) weren’t shown in the benchmark

So even if that was say AOE chain that’s not going to be SCH’s big button for the expansion, if it ends up being another heal that’s disappointing but I think there is a chance considering for at least 2 healers they showed off a damage/debuff and it’s only the benchmark when EW functionally only showed off heals

There's a chance that the AoE Chain isn't even a new button, they could've just made Chain AoE, just like the NIN's bigger hellfrog could be AoE Trick Attack.

Either way, what we get in DT is definitely already set in stone, so we can only hope that the media tour shows something good.

I have no faith in the healer updates for DT. Upgrades of the additional 1 buttom spam and the 30s DOT. Upgrades of the existing 1 button AOE. And 2 new healing spells per job as a capstone ability for level 100.

I am not a healer main by no means but do occasionally play WHM and Sage and my biggest gripe with healing in dungeons, leveling in particular is how late healers get simple AOE abilities and OGCD healing/damage abilities.

Hopefully there is a developer or group of developers who took a deep dive into healers and made some better changes to benefit the role as a whole with not only the endgame gameplay but the leveling.

I guess people have their own way of coping with this situation.

I mean, if you get a kick out of piling the blame on people who still have things they can enjoy about the role and being nasty to them for no reason, sure, go ahead.

We're still within our rights to give our feedback, and you don't have to like it.

Maybe something for all healer:
Give the healer more option to recover mp very fast.

They have the skill to increase mp reg over time a little. And at last has the scholar with his point system a skill, that give some mp back.

But, when you think about it, how much they probably need to heal in raids (esspecial new raids, where you probably need to ress a lot), are some more mp Regeneration skills nice.

The healers already have far far too much MP as it is now, why would we need even more MP

To much?
I burn my stuff in a few seconds, when i need to heal a lot of player (helped yesterday in cortheas some people by the world boss fate, and was multiple times very low on mp, if i didnt had unsynchroned the fate and used mp reg skill). In addition is the mp after a ress allways low and recover only slowly. More mp reg skills help by a re-start or, like i sayed, if you need to heal a lot of people (its Standard to use the 1000 mp heal skill -most better healing skills need ressources, who are limited or need time to charge-, so, your mp is going down very fast).
And what reg skills have healers? Aside of the "reg over time" skill, that everyone has, do i can only think at the scholar, who has a skill to recover 2-3k mp at once.
White mage has only one, where you dont need mp for around 3 skills, if i remember correctly.
I can not think of any other skill of that kind for the moment. And know only, that i like scholar over the other healers, because of better mp management options (and, because i like barriers and the fairy).
