How has the AM changed affected the class?

[Brizio]

know strength and weakness of the class first.
and put it on right place/moment.
avoid where you're weak, find where you can shine.
that's how you maximize it's potential.

in highly mobile situation AM have less opportunity to use his best tools.
that's why u don't see AM in 6v6 cage fight.
simple as that.

AM's power is burst heal. 2k healing is common. 3k is not rare.
you can rise near death to safe hp instantly.
it's like emergency CPR.

high risk high reward.
thrill but stressful sometimes.
definitely not for weak heart.

every class have different role and skill ceiling.
it's hard class for some players.

Ok, elaborate a little more. You're saying AM is as good as other classes because of... Desperation and thats it?

And thats not the reason you dont see them in 6x6. The reason you don't see them in 6x6 is mainly because its the most squishy healing class and they have to sacrifice all their healing stats to get close to the others classes, but still worse. It's a liability to the party!

Also you have some AMs here that understand the class skills, healing/dps builds and mechanic and are debating about changes that could benefit the class with the argument ... of 3k heals. And then write "it's a hard class for some players". Seriouly?

Anyway, i also agree with Bloodi.

AMs M1 got shafted (piss poor change) and quite frankly the other two order healers are better if not the best two of all six healers.

Class (shmy aswell) lacks an aoe hot, always have and no one cares. Just play RP and save yourself the pain.

Pumping pugs from 10% to full might seem great but a proper group counters burst with guard, detaunts and morale. Not hoping a heal lands in time. The game just doesn't suit AM. You're better with survivability and reliable healing. Thats why you dont see AMs in serious comps.

is there only 2 game modes, 6v6 and pug ?
i don't care about numbers or comps.
i just bring my build to any situation and adjust.

you put class into scenario where it's weakness is granted and call it sux.
that's not how u judge class.
look for pros and cons.

AM is most squishy. for price.
IMO, burst healing.
it's how it is.
like BG having too many skills, hard
zealot having 10 skills, easy.

if you want to buff class, be more specific.
cherry picking comparison have no value.

That argument could be used to roll back every change. All classes had something they were good at. The point was for instance sorc were pretty much as good as magus in those moments as well as being far superior for the rest of the game or why have WE/WH got any buffs when they were unparalleled in certain situations?

For the majority of the games content WP/RP DoK/Zealot are just a better choice and as we move toward cities theres going to be a point in the game we can point to as the end game where this will be true.

'AM sux' x 100 thread won't fix anything.
pin point the problem and suggest solution while maintaining class diversity.
