So if I'm playing SCH in a group with minimal communication and I can be reasonably confident my co-healer is going to overheal the heck out of everything anyway, what motivation do I have to use my stacks on anything other than Energy Drain? Remember that I still have the fairy and Seraph to fall back on if I actually decide I need to heal. How many encounters would I actually have to use those stacks for healing? There's like, E11S, E12S, Diamond Weapon EX, and the UItimates. Well, your problem boils down to "bad players are bad." I mean yeah, if the other dude is overhealing everything you SHOULDN'T be using stacks on healing! But I promise you bad players are always going to be bad. This is not a game design problem, and removing ED mostly just punished the good players. Not_an_Owl posted... I suppose you could argue this is more an issue with the playerbase needing to communicate more and coordinate better, but Energy Drain exacerbates that issue by actively encouraging the SCH to shovel the majority of the healing load onto their partner since an OGCD with potency attached is easier to realize and comprehend than "you just saved your co-healer a GCD they can use for Glare". Case in point here even from a selfish perspective. Broil is 290 potency. Ruin 2 + ED is 300 potency. The Aetherflow stack is NOT worth 10 potency and neither is the HP/MP. The actual design of ED does not encourage spamming it unless your only concern is your personal DPS, and even then, you're only gaining DPS here if you are not healing at ALL. If you have to use a GCD heal when you could have used a "free" AF heal, you have lost DPS. So again this is just a "people are bad at the game" issue. Also you will have an extremely bad time in dungeons if you are only using Energy Drain, which should inherently teach people the value of the healing skills. It's really just a small subset of bads and toxic tryhards that will be determined to only spam ED in 8-mans. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! <cite>HeroDelTiempo17 posted [p:956184851] in FFXIV Topi...
