RIP Poison Cleansing Totem

Stamina Buff is unique to Priest yes, but quite a few classes give a Raid/Party buff of similar style. Mages for Int, Shamans for Mastery, ect…

I’m talking about baseline, non-class thematic abilities. - Someone mentioned Role specific abilities like FFXIV, while healers have thier own flair and personality, they all share the same base abilities.

All Healers should have:

  • Interrupt
  • Poison Removal
  • Curse Removal
  • Magic Removal
  • Battle Rez
  • Mass Rez

Then each healer can specialize and have a theme that they specialize in, or sets them apart from other healers.

  • Shaman : Mastery - Bloodlust - Poison Cleansing Totem - Self Rez - Other Totems - ect
  • Priest : Stamina - PW: Barrier - Power Infusion - Mass Dispel - ect
  • Paladin : Lay on Hands - Blessings - Bubbles - ect
  • Ect…

You can give the basics without removing class fantasy or identity of a class.

It just makes sense that all Healers have an interrupt in the current iteration of the game. - Resurrection and Cleansing Ailments seems like something that thematically all healers should have in their Kits. That’s their Job… They heal and cure people.
