Hello Everyone,
As a Main support AB player, it has really come to my attention that as the amount of damage everyone does skyrockets over into the millions from back in its days where even 10k damage was considered top tier, AB players that play as party heal support have been left behind in the dust. Even with the plethora of accessible gears and easy upgrading events, AB healing is still very far from an acceptable standard. Damage that is dealt by every other class has basically multiplied by 10x in the current post modern Ragnarok Online, where doing 50-100k damage per second is achievable with some investment. However, Healing Support AB's can invest into the BiS gears for doing the best heal outputs, but can only barely achieve a maxed Heal skill total of over 10k, 15k if your on the better side of that scale with a full party of 12 people and have Offertorium buff up using Coluseo heal.
The High Priest, as said in their introductory description back then on the original official website and even still quoted to this day on iROwiki, is a "Bulwark in the storm". I ask you all now, are they, and by extension are AB's really a Bulwark in the storm as suggested? I think we can all agree here that AB's nowadays are basically like the a Barrier Warrior, the moment some insane new content (much like the upcoming 17.1 content) comes up, our shields will pose all the resistance of wet tissue paper.
Therefore I propose the following skill formula as a Re-balance for your considerations (everything else is the same):
HP restored = [((MATK/2) x [(Base Level + Total INT) ÷ 5] x (Skill Level x 5)) ÷ 30]
Notes
- HP Restored and Damage are also influenced by Weapon Level.
- This skill is only affected by Weapon MATK and Status MATK.
Let us have a discussion about this.
