First of all, I am not sure where should I post this post…
The other day I was playing a very old-fashion game Rune Magic, and I found an exciting and original class concept… a healer with bow.
After seeing this class I was thinking… what about if WOW gives a new class or even a 4th Hunter Spec the option to heal through throwing arrows at allies.
Some skills examples: Purifying Shot: Removes one harmful effect from target. Mana Arrows: Casting Mana Arrow to the party members of your range of 50 absorbs all damage equal to 5.0% of the targets’ max HP for 10.0 seconds. Curing Shot: Shoots an arrow filled with the power of Light on 5 friendly targets within reach, healing them for 20.0 HP and additionally restores 10.0 HP every 2 seconds for 20.0 seconds.
I was playing other games with “healers/supports” with a bow but never with the idea of shooting your allies with healing arrows… the bow was more to make damage like a hunter or just decoration ex. FFXIV Bard or Rift Bard.
To be honest, I really enjoyed that playstyle because it was an unic. I hope Blizzard could considerate this gameplay, what do you think guys?
A healer with a bow is one thing, healing with a bow is just a no for me. I think the idea is silly. In ESO I used to play a bow Templar. Templars are like paladins, they have light powers and can heal, but the class spells are different from the weapons abilities. So the bow would do damage and the class spells could heal. I loved that fantasy.
Btw, with that set up I could at best be an off healer, to be a proper healer I would be required to use a healing staff.
I was just gonna say bow-shmow, make a healer class that heals with pets, but I’m MW and I don’t want them to steal our celestials as they did “dmg to heal” with Disc.
I agree. Would be nice if Blizzard can develop this celestial system a little more. I would like to have a solid pet healing system like the FXIV the Scholar with their fairies. I used to love to control my bar skills and sometimes my fairies bar skills
