Improvisation

[LynxDubh]

A 500 potency heal is about the same healing as afflatus rapture... On top of curing waltz that's already borderline busted.

Otherwise yes I don't think that adding some esprit generation from it would be a bad thing though.



MCH is literally in the gutter for the damage it brings compared to any other job in the game, DNC and BRD included, and has been consistently since its ShB rework. I'm happy about the wrench being back, but let's call MCH for what it is: a subpar damage dealer.

I would not equate a 120s cooldown to an afflatus that is damage positive and on a 20 second cooldown. And if I'm not mistaken, MCH is actually above DNC and BRD since its buffs in damage since it's much more reliable.

But after thinking it over, I think the esprit generation coupled with the shield would feel much better. You get the instant punch from a slight dps gain and a useful shield. So I would revise my armchair development exercise to something like this:

Improvised Finish
- Creates a barrier around self and all nearby party members. Damage absorbed equals 10% of maximum HP of target.
Duration 30s
-Generates Esprit upon execution. Esprit generated increases with stacks of Rising Rhythm.
0 Stacks: 10 Esprit
1 Stack: 20 Esprit
2 Stacks: 30 Esprit
3 Stacks: 40 Esprit
4 Stacks: 50 Esprit

I'll edit my original post with this update.
