I really like the idea for the auto-heal-on-threshold, but it shouldn't be on a timer. Make it permanent until triggered, but you can only have it on one person at a time.

nuru posted:You left out the gross mutually exclusive nature of Aetherflow and Aethertrail now. You can't use Aetherflow during Dreadwyrm Trance anymore, and if you use Aetherflow while you have any Aethertrail stacks you lose as many AF stacks as you have AT. Actually, it made SMN easy to play to the point that even I can manage. I could never get my head around to how smn plays before, now it's super easy, and aethertrails finally don't go away if you gently caress up even slightly for the ~optimal rotation~

orcane posted:Good news, you can gently caress up slightly and end up with even more of a penalty now if you ever manage to waste a charge. Hard? No. Annoying? Very yes. Also gently caress up how? The only thing that can miss is bane, and missing a bane still only puts you back 60 seconds, instead of 120 like before. That and I haven't missed a bane for over 2 years.

queeb posted:it's really fun and im enjoying it a lot. Thunder IV is amazing to fire off in dungeons. I'm only 67 so I have cheaper flare and foul to look forward to so things are just gonna get better. I have some good news. Max-ether drops in dungeons now, and it's enough MP to cast an extra flare at level 70. Ask me how opening a trash fight with foul + flare + flare + flare + flare went... nuru posted:I'm having trouble putting my finger on why SCH feels so bad, but I think it's that I have very little to do and the only good parts of my kit all require aetherflow. Bane still requiring aetherflow despite losing miasma 2, blizzard, and a good shadow flare feels absurd. SCH is really nice as raid healer now, you bring infinite MP and shitloads of instant heals through lustrate, indom and excog (which is a pre-castable lustrate with 50 more potency). Shields haven't been nerfed at all either and can still produce silly poo poo through crit -> deploy. For dungeons it's turbotrash though. The AOE nerf was dumb and keeping a tank up in a big pack of trash is literally impossible unless you're overgeared. Mind this is just my experience up to level 69.

nuru posted:Are the WHM/AST folks the dps now in ~real content~? A sch can still maintain MP while doing dps, thanks to lucid dreaming + aetherflow + the odd energy drain here and there, but I'm not sure about the other two. I've only just hit 70 with sch. For dungeons definitely just go whm/ast though. Holy/gravity is still the highest spammable aoe potency in the game I think.

I just got shittalked for the first time since I've been healing in this game. I queued for the 2 ex dungeons, got fist, and apparently pulling as much as humanly possible when both the tank and the healer are in entry level 70 gear is a grand idea. Eventually in one of the pulls tank died and this happened: https://udba.org/ff30/ffxiv_23062017_061342.jpg Later on he also said he'd reported me for my raise macro

Josuke Higashikata posted:Tanks who think they can still cross their tank stance off after getting an aggro lead are cute. Even in level 60 synced content, they're dropping aggro like it's hot thanks to E.Moulinet. I didn't have issues doing it as a PLD in 60 dungeons against RDMs and SAMs, but I have no idea if they were pushing their aggro down buttons (they're pretty good players so probably). Also, I have a habit of starting in shield oath and doing 2 full halone combos with all cooldowns running before switching to sword stance, so it's pretty hard to catch up as long as I keep pushing buttons.

apostateCourier posted:Second Wind is an emergency button I should never have to hit. Mistakes happen though and I prefer to clean up my own messes when I can. Second wind is probably very nice for solo content emergencies, but if you get hit by something in a dangerous moment group content, someone somewhere already hit their lustrate button. Or you're playing with bad healers, in which case, all is vain.

I recast protect every time I raise someone so I'd rather not get in the habit of switching it out tbh, and now it costs 0 MP and that's hilariously nice. e: though you did say dungeon, that's more of a thing in trials/raids.

LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:I don't use bane unless there are a buttload of targets because it's just not worth using the aetherflow. Why? with 2-4 targets, bane scales just slightly worse than before, and it's still 70 potency per tick (66 for 3rd and 52 for 4th enemy), and with small pulls you're definitely not using it on anything better because roused eos can handle it just fine. Reiterpallasch posted:The numbers are literally the things that are not wrong with Scholar in a raid setting. They're quite good once you recognize that 33+% of your healing output is coming from your fairy, for free, forever--better than AST, worse than WHM imo. Chain Stratagem is nuts. If you think Excogitation is bad you've never lost a tank to Punishing Heat -> Cleave or Ravensbeak -> autoattack or any other tankbuster -> medium hit, in which case you're either good enough or bad enough class balance arguments don't apply anyway. If you boost adlo to be on par with noct a.benefic or whatever the hell reddit wants to do, the class will be over the top. Yeah. I haven't really done anything hard as sch yet, but I can see exactly how and where I'd use excog on fights where it'd be super useful and make my life 300% easier.

Ferrinus posted:I did some math about this and I concluded that, if you assume that spellspeed, swiftcast, triplecast, and leylines don't exist (such that a Fire 2 Fire 2 Flare Flare rotation is like ~20.5 seconds total, while a Flare Flare rotation is 14.5 seconds), it's better to cast nothing but Flares on 5 mobs or fewer, while it's better to use Fire 2s and then Flare on your last umbral heart against six mobs or more, although the potency/second is very close either way. You should be casting thunder 4 in this case, not fire 2

Fey Union isn't really janky, it actually happens when you tell the fairy you want it to happen, to the point where she interrupts a fey whisper cast already on cooldown to do it (cooldown disappears at least) Activating fey whisper on the other hand....
