Regen V?Follow

It's an errata, it should read SCH only. You will be able to use the spell if you're SCH99, don't worry.

It was the internal struggle at SE ... give all the goodies to WHM ... No! we promised SCH a morsel ...

That's why it is just a morsel ... give them something to make them feel special.

I'm actually quite shocked that this game does not use more HoT type spells for healing. In the last MMO I played, we had 3 healer classes. All of them had the same level of HoT spells, but Clerics HoT had the largest potential with the modifiers (Wisdom). Shamans were more buff oriented, but could still heal, and Druids had group heals. Clerics also had the 1x insta heals, which made them the desired go to healer for end game content because one would be in charge of the HoT while the rest through out their insta heals.

I played all 3 healer classes and so it was difficult for me to adjust to FFXI healing, where I had to learn the timing of when to heal and choosing the right tier to throw out. It's definitely easier now, but I still can't help but use Regen spells out of habit.

Well, mostly. Regen V is certainly a much stronger Regen spell than anything else we get (even Embrava), so it wins in terms of total HP restored. But, it's still a regen spell and as with all such things is easily dispelled, especially against some of the tougher monsters. At 90mp a pop, thats an expensive Dispel.

If SE really wants to go the whole Heal-over-time direction, they need to give us a Modus Veritas skill which works on player's regen effects. Reduce the overall duration, but double the healing. Only make this one NOT miss, thanks SE.

Hmm, I feel a suggestions thread coming along.
