Changes To The Heal Ability

*cri becuase I'm going tank archer*

 

As level 65 you have not been in any huge boss fights, you fight simple enemies that could be fought without heal. You have no idea how useful heal can get in the higher levels. It is a huge nerf, you just don't realize it. What this guy is suggesting would completely break the class.

 

I think you've forgotten ToA and dungeons.

 

well that would be a bit too hard on heal imo(coming from a warrior main)

 

...I don't get it. Archers have even worse defense stats than mages.

 

True, but mage needs a nerf one way or another.

 

No don't do this because the only reason mage is here is for a support class and doing these changes to heal would just ruin mage !

 

tell that to fatal mages

 

It doesn't matter. I fight monsters my own level, and you fight monsters YOUR level, you're still fighting monsters that are just right for you. Just because you're a higher level doesn't really change the difficulty of the game. I don't know how hard it is in the higher levels, because i haven't been there, but you can't say how useful it is in the higher levels because EVERYBODY is fighting and grinding mobs of their level, and maybe you're talking about the boss fights, but all of the bosses and mobs only have the spells of our own classes, so i've already experienced most of their spells. You can't say I fight simple enemies that could be fought without heal? I grind in the dernel jungle, and I die all the time, and need to use heal and teleport to get myself out of situations, use spells to my advantage, and use them at the right time. And level 65 isn't that low tbh, I'm halfway to 100 :P. You're kind of overexaggerating, say, if they really did this update, you would survive. The classes wouldn't be broken. The community was all requesting for a EDIT: CHANGE, not a nerf anyways. I feel like you all think that heal is being removed or something o_o.

 

The community isn't requesting a nerf, the community never requests a nerf. Level 65 is very low, halfway to 100 means nothing. I'm done fighting with you, what you are saying makes no sense and obviously isn't the popular opinion. Once you hit level 90, you can talk to me about how mage mechanics should work.

 

Charge still does pretty much the same.

 

TOA isn't always done as a level 60, and even then he didn't solo Death. Dungeons are mini-bosses, not full fledged bosses.

Could someone lock this thread? It's just a huge mosh pit now, the suggestion is obviously disliked. There's no point in continuing this fight. @Pretzule?

 

Suggestion isn't dislike, just a topic of controversy.

 

Look at the poll.

 

Well, even if it doesn't have THIS nerf, it needs a nerf of some sort :/ Honestly I find it really unfair how i'm just judged for being a level 65... I know i haven't experienced the full game yet, and you have a right to say I haven't, but I have experienced the heal spell and have knowledge and advice on it. You can't just shoot me down like that :/. Anyways, how about heal changed? Instead of nerfed, it would be a CHANGE, a change that you can use to the better or for the worse, and can potentially be a buff if you use it the right way....

You can be hit during charge

...A lot of mages I've talked to have "easily soloed Death." Not at level 60, but in the 80s. That's really amazing, isn't it?
Some people like it, and ultimately this change is up to the admins. Not much of a point in locking something unless it's irrelevant or breaks the rules.


I'm seeing how this can be considered a nerf, but trust me, if you play smart, it's a buff. Increasing the base amount of healing along with everything else would be great in my opinion. I have some ideas to maybe make a compromise between opinions...

We can add these:
1. Heal is cancelled upon taking a certain amount of damage, not just any damage.
2. Pulses are much faster to take effect.
3. Make it 50% on first pulse, then 25%, then 25%. Not as even, but more than before.

 

Perfect ideas. That way, both sides would be happy. It's more of a CHANGE, not a nerf.

 

Doubt you will be hit [Unless its an instant AoE like Spin Attack.]

 

As the old saying goes, don't fix what's isn't broken.

 

It's not broken, but it can be improved. Don't you want that?
