#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Also, they could have at least made Oracle more... distinct in function from the other 'it does big damage' attacks added with DT. Like, I would suggest making it do 12 hits of 70p, one for each of the Twelve (since it uses their symbols in the VFX). That way, it's super-resistant to Crit Variance, as there's 12 individual 'did it Crit' rolls to do. And what if we get a little more creative: The colour of the VFX changes, to mirror your Patron Deity. You picked Halone? Ice Blue Oracle. You picked Oschon? Green Oracle. Rhalgr, Purple Oracle, etc. A nice little way for people to show what they picked for that one, otherwise entirely fluff choice at the start of the game

But why would they? Literally every other job just got a pointless "finisher" nuke stapled to it in Dawntrail with 100% flash and 0% substance. Not even the golden child that is melee DPS got anything with more thought behind it, obviously AST wouldn't be the exception.

Rainbow drip as a finisher is so good PCT doesn’t feel half as good without it so I guess PCT is an exception but PCT is basically an exception to the game entire crappy job system at this point

Frankly I think that Kardia requiring DPS uptime is neat. It requires player skill.

This would be true if we didn't already spend up to 90% of each fight mashing the Dosis button. They also could really have done more with Kardia rather than making it a 'Regen but it only ticks when I mash my filler button' ability.

I'm also tired of Sage being described as a "worse scholar" Kardia is just "Selene but it sucks". Like. We got something unique with that. And what did we do? We complained that its not as "good" as SCH. Frankly I think that Kardia requiring DPS uptime is neat. It requires player skill.

Kardia requires dps uptime because it does nothing more than mirroring the fairy casting Embrace while the ajoining SCH is dpsing.

When the SCH stops dpsing and casts heals instead, then the fairy will contine to heal alongside the SCH, that's why the fairy is "better". The healing kit of SCH is spread over himself and the fairy.

Sage on the other hand doesn't need Kardia to heal alongside himself when he stops dpsing. He does everything Kardia (the fairy) would do by himself.


Kardia is just a lazy solution to the problem that they never could balance Noct AST and SCH.

Man reading this thread, as a healer main, I'm happy SE completely ignore your feedback. You guys would kill the entire role in a single patch.

What’s that old quote about not being able to kill something that’s already dead

(Why am I even replying this person won’t explain their thoughts anyway)

tbf I have wondered if nuking the trinity might be better for this game's health at this point

[YarnMage48]

I would say that the SGE is just a worse SCH argument is arguing in favour of wanting more job diversity simply because SGE really doesn’t actually do anything better than SCH

Complaining that two classes are functionally identical but one is just better on pretty much every front I think is a perfectly valid complaint to have against the position of SGE in terms of its identity

But why do you think that Scholar is better? They have similarities but they play very differently.

SCH has Chain Stratagem and Energy Drain, it's probably the best designed healer currently in the game as it has both a buff and will always be able to use their Job Gauge.
