#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[EusisLandale]

For posterity, I drew a line and made sure both pics are pixel perfect aligned.

-pic-

Additionally, like much other abilities, the value do snapshots at the time of appliance. So even if your Krasis is already gone, so long the Haima was applied while it was active, the expiration heal will also get boosted later on:
-pic2-

Just matching mine like yours, top one was one pixel over to the right on the top before. The shields are a perfect match on my end.
I don't know if it's just some stupid timing shenanigans screwing me over, which would not surprise me in the least, but I can not replicate getting the shield past the box. Nor can I get the heal to be boosted. It's consistently ending up ~35k, only reaching over 40 if I make sure to delay Krasis until it'll still be on when Haima drops.

It buffs all 5 shields by 20%, that’s an extra 300 potency, that’s worth more than buffing even a crit e diagnosis with krasis because all 5 shields will be buffed by krasis

It should be 6 shields and 360 potency total? The first one, then the 5 Haimatinon backups as each Haima breaks. Or are you saying you only see it buff the backup shields?

All that aside, at most it'd just adjust my prepull timing to not give time to fish. Boost E.Diagnosis by however much luck feels like giving me on top of maybe boosting Haima since it shouldn't take 10 seconds to get from pack 1 to 2. Nothing really changes about the fact that there's basically zero stress on trash, which was the start of all this in the first place.

Is this is why healers are walling savage PFs by being the ones failing mechs the most?

No, but this is serious observation. I think this is caused by stark jump of difficulty between casual and endgame content and healer role attracting more weaker players than others for some reason.

The latter makes no sense because healer role is actually hardest one since there is no room for error - you have to press correct healing buttons while doing mechs, while dps/tanks most likely just make rotation mistakes instead or drop mits (which shift the problem to the healers).

So what we have now is in M2S MT dying to boss auto attacks during the bee dodge mech mess since healers are moving constantly and being overwhelmed by the mech

Yeah savage healers are getting ahead of themselves they need to wait like 2 more weeks until everyone is geared until they can just play RuneScape.

@EusisLandale careful.
Both krasis and physis affect both gcd and ogcd, the wording is healing actions (arrow, asylum and protraction have exactly the same wording).
Zoe and Philosophia affect only gcd heals, the wording is healing magic potency.
This is also why philosophia is such a bad lvl 100 ability.

Like everything haima snapshots on application.

Base
300 * n + 150 * n
Krasis
360 * n + 180 * n
Krasis and Physis
390 * n + 195 * n

Where n is haimatinon stacks left.
Example: Ignore the crit heals, all healing actions buffs were not active when effect expired.


Would you care in a dungeon? no.
Do you care currently in savage? no. I have been keeping haima for players that missed heals or got hit by something they shouldn't.
This is minmaxing territory.
Saying that the healing action buff needs to active when the heal happens is either lacking information or misinformation and not accurate.

Has double regen healer ever been a meta for a fight? because i remember for p3s double shield was the meta.

[Alice_Rivers]

I don't see how double regen healer CAN be meta, that would involve a truly insane amount of damage and even then shield healers would have to be balanced around that level of damage so the preventative capabilities would still win out over solely restorative ones.

Maybe when Astrologian had Nocturnal Sect? Lol (and thus regen/shield healer distinction didn’t ‘officially’ exist).


As for the Sage discussion for most ‘trash pulls’ I just use Krasis with Soteria and live some dps-healer realness lol. Well, for like 2-3 seconds then Phlegma/Psyche are on cd so it’s back to shooting pool noodles ad nauseum lol. No idea how effective it is in terms of ‘healing’, but it’s a combination not used as often so it makes me feel like I’m doing a secret technique lol (‘White Mages will hate this one trick!!!’).

I guess in a way it’s nice and that healers are able to deal with healing in various different ways lol. It would be much nicer if the root cause for that wasn’t that the healing requirements were so very low that you can practically clear them spamming [Level 2 Filler Heal] these days

Lol it would only be meta for a mechanic maybe, only in EW tho considering Seraphism makes SCH the strongest regen healer for 20 seconds.

I guess it can never be with how FF14 is designed, there is never WoW levels of damage output where constant healing is needed in encounters, there should probably be more of that to a degree if the devs want Barrier/Regen to be standard, Barrier for the mechanics and regen as a heal bot for the pulsing damage.
From how it looks SGE will probably be meta only in 100 critieon. 4man kinda makes raidbuffs meaningless comparitive to raids so AST wouldn't be as good and WHM severe lack of mitigation could be troublesome, SCH would be good because its raid buff just increases crit rate and it has a million tools for both regen and shield but SGE will probably do slightly more damage which in critieon which has enrages so its actually useful.

[Supersnow845]

Double WHM was meta in early 5.0 for gate but that wasn’t really WHM being good and well suited to the mechanics of gate so much as it was AST and SCH both being absolute hot garbage because they didn’t balance the 5.0 lobotomies very well

[Aravell]

In order for double regen healer to be meta (or even a viable alternative), WHM has to first not be the worst healer in everything except healing throughput via Presence of Mind Cure III spam.

[Azurarok]

As far as my experience goes usually a dungeon pull gets me reaching for casted heals when dps is garbage and the pull doesn't start dying before the tank and I run out of resources.

This isn't necessarily just the responsibility of the dps also. Tank bursts can hit as hard as dps, and Healer damage output is nothing to sneeze at either, despite the one button spam.

The spiciest pulls I know of are the first and last section of Mt. Gulg and the second section of Doma Castle, and that's only if we do the full wall to wall. Even those I'm still hitting my aoe for most GCDs though.
