Starting Sage

Eh I’m not going to argue about it (sorry bole)

I shouldn’t have used “regen” specifically for kardia (even if it functionally a regen) otherwise I stick by my point, SGE is functionally a regen healer since the overwhelming amount of its net healing comes physis and kerechole, two true regens

I mean, if you’re playing with paper tanks for reasons like them being undergeared or just generally bad at gaming, it doesn’t matter which healer you’re playing. All 4 gonna have quite a time to keep them alive & I don’t think it’s inherently fair to single out SGE for that reason alone.

maybe in savage once you are playing with people with a brain cell, but leveling it and running dungons your dps heal tic wont keep up the drk that thinks mitigation is a dps loss..

The only time I ever need to cast a GCD shield spell during combat after getting Addersgall is if the tank does a 3+2 deathwish pull without an invuln (which is basically just the first stretch of the Lv79 dungeon). Literally any other time all my GCDs are attack spells.

a regen usually refers to a H.o.T. not a server tick from a drict action causing a heal. I.E. regen the whm ability for instance, if its a heal based on your direct action its just a heal, kardia healing is not a regen, its a direct reflection of your own damage actions. a regen is something that happens after applied regardless of what actions you take after initiating said skill.

The distinction is meaningless. Every GCD I'm using in combat is an attack and therefore the tank is getting healed regularly at 2.5s intervals without me casting a single healing spell. It is a regen effect in execution if not in strict categorization.

Technically speaking, Kardia is direct healing because it requires an action for it to trigger. Regen in just about every iteration of Final Fantasy I have ever played both single player and MMO applies a HoT (heal over time) on a target that requires no action beyond the initial application. It is very distinct from other healing abilities.

The semantics are meaningless in the sense that however healing comes, all that matters is that player HP doesn't fall to zero. But if discussing the type of healing a healer focuses on, then yeah, it kind of matters. As I said earlier in this thread, all the healers have a pretty balanced set of direct heals, shields, and HoTs tied to their oGCD abilities. The only thing that truly separates them are niche abilities/spells and their job gauges. These are few and far between though.

What? I know my gear is a mess, you know why, because I’m not doing savage this expansion, so I’m running entirely with casual gear, I know I have too much piety, but ilvl outweighs excluding piety on all but the ring (which as you can see I’m wearing a weaker ring to exclude piety) talk about fishing for a gotcha while accusing others of it

Wow twice in two days.

Anyway it’s just a clunkier embrace macro with no auto to fall back on.

I thought the same thing, gear checked twice in 2 days
