Dawntrail Healer Changes! [FFXIV Media Tour]

[@EXBtri]

I think you forget to mention the most mindblowing part of sage. The dots stack and it's a DPS increase from Dosis at single target boss fights. So sage in optimal scenarios has to keep track of 2 dots all fight which is super engaging and something scholars have been asking for years.

SGE casually getting the stuff we want on Scholar. Ah well, happy to play both.

To not get too much into each I love how healers got more dps and agency all across the board. Giving them all a nuke and buffing their aoe heal was a good call. I realy love Glare 4 and look forward to briefly top the dps charts at the start of every encounter with it while others are building up their finishers

You know,I hear so much dooming and negativity in healer community sometimes I just come check out your channel for the general positivity and insightful opinions on abilities at high level play. As for DT, I'm so excited for all of these to be honest and while I normally olay through an expansion on WHM Im actually having trouble committing because of how cool some of the changes SEVERAL jobs got.

Don’t want to say anything too deep. I do think that SE is trying to show they’re listening and are trying to give players what they want. I think that giving each healer a new attack is what we asked for so I am grateful for the consideration. Pankardia (or however they named it), Glare IV, rework of cards to be unique and a return to some Nocturnal Sect elements with the new card effects are all examples of listening to what players wanted and trying to keep it balanced. Seraphism seems overpowered but it is pragmatic here in that SCH was the most aesthetically lackluster capstone in EW and they are clearly trying to make up for it. There are many things I don’t like, for example, the new attacks being accessible only every two minutes is not what we meant by wanting to press anything more than 1-1-1. People are holding out for more healing needed to be done but seeing the healing and mitigation other classes are getting-again-really deters me from thinking that’s happening. We will have to wait and see.

I'd like for healers to get more of a rotation and use more healing, when im playing a healer. When I'm not healing, I dont want healing to become more difficult because a number of players in this game already struggle with the most simple mechanics.(in story dungeons...) I don't want to be stuck in a leveling dungeon where old mate whm got hit by the same line aoe, in the same spot for the 7th time.

Looking forward to playing WHM, glare IV is reinforcing the job's identity as a walking tactical nuke, at least in my mind

[@bookbagfox]

Nice to see that Astro is getting more interesting effects on cards again.

I'M SO HYPE ARGH!!!!! May migrate from a SGE main to SCH for savage, but I am DEFINITELY leveling every healer first!

I love WHM. I think I'll love this. Only one more button (so a smidge of bloat, but not bad) for a fun dash (woot!, totally worth it!), and while I hate DPS rotations, PoM giving me Holy Cleave x3 for some free movement I think I'm okay with. I wish the AOE barrier was on Plenary, but SOMEthing is better than nothing and not having a second party mit is what WHM has been hurting for, so I'll accept this. I'm overall happy with WHM. Would be happier if the barrier was on Plenary, but overall, this is good. SCH...I hate Dissipation. I hated Dissipation the first time it kidnapped Eos AND DID NOT GIVE HER BACK (the original implementation). And I strongly dislike Energy Drain. These things haven't and likely won't change. I hate Dissipation on principle (I like my little partner and I hate an ability that takes her from me, damnit, is that hard to understand? SCH and SMN let me have a friend with me always and never be alone, and I don't get why BETRAYING my partner being something I dislike would be hard to understand...and that's before I get to the mechanics of why I hate it...), but hey, I can just remove it from my bar and move on. The rest of SCH looks amazing. Seraphism looks amazing and seems like an incredible thing. Really cool. And while Chain now has a DPS button on it - bleh - at least it's just a second oGCD weave and then move on with my life, not something I have to upkeep, juggle, or track. I'm okay with that. AST I don't play, likely won't play, but it does look a little cooler and less annoying. SGE now has another DoT. Have I mentioned of all forms of DPS, I hate DoTs more than literally anything else? I liked SGE, now I will like it less and probably just drop it. But hey, I can WHM/SCH/SMN/PLD for Jesus, so I'm cool with this. Got my expansion Jobs locked in, I think. SCH/SMN to level, PLD for running some MSQ while leveling so I can do all roles at cap, WHM so I can do both healer types, and at some point I'll level MCH and probably MNK or NIN so I can do the role quests then not touch them for the rest of the expansion, lol

Sage Philosophia not buffing healing actions is sad since its primarily an ability healer, not GCD spell healing like the other healers. Cole's lionman turning into Angelic Bara Kitty is too cute 💫😺 ✨️
