some more in-depth healing related patch notes have been posted on the forums, they go a bit more in depth than i was able to do : www.arcgames.com/en/forums/neverwinter#/discussion/1256009

Imagine healing after you get a 20 million power buff. All the players, mobs, scenario, NPCs, Cryptic staff, the boss and the people in the nearest hospital would be fully healed.

Apparently I'm an old coot because I look at changes and go through the same processes you do with grief: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and wayyyyyy down the road, acceptance. On this one, I'm much better, I jumped over denial and went straight to anger :P. Eh well, thanks for explaining it. It's do-able, and we'll adapt. I just question the need for it, and have little hope the execution will be adequate. Sorry, I'm still in the anger part, I guess, maybe it's because every time they throw 'balance' at us, what they really mean is 'nerf'.

I'm not sure what to think about those changes, I was hoping for some kind of shield like pallys have, but I knew it wouldn't pass. I don't like changes, but those are inevitable. We'll see how cleric will perform after the changes

What was the rationale for these changes? Seems un-necessary.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I can't wait to see Warlock changes..

Decrease heal magnitude as the number of targets increases is the way the found to prevent solo helaers in trials like tomm.

Heh.... heh heh heh heh... So what was wrong with how the original DC functioned...? Replacing perfect flow and transition, with tedium/frustration mechanics. Just why.

Nice ty for taking the time to explain things kinda scared but excited as well!!! Coffee sent your way love !

Ty Silv3ry for your great info, keep up the good work:)

Meh, I dont use my damaging at will anyway I'm on constant healing or prayer. Kind of excited for the soothe update! However I constantly use healing word, so I would probably still use that feat over the soothe one, but the magnitude being increased would definitely make me replace the damage atwill haha.

So are they needing the AE heals because they want more healers viable for large encounters? Like, I can almost solo heal Demonic Incursion in Avernus with 20 people. Is this not what they want us doing anymore? I hate the “hold down button for various abilities” mechanic as it can mess up a lot on console, what with the frame rates drastically dropping in combat.

Tangent observation related to shared healing from a pool of divinity for AoEs: Astral Deva's damage AoE burst has functioned in the same way ever since I've bonded with this Companion in that the more targets hit by the AoE, the less damage each takes. Compared with other Companion AoE attacks, Pig damages everything in range the same amount as do Wizards. Maybe just inconsistency or maybe by design, unknown.

Nice changes. I'm still not coming back to this game unless they bring out normal mechanics like it was before. I like dynamic fights, not standing still to charge divinity for few minutes to throw only few encounter powers.

with all this outgoing healing reduced i m worried of how this will be . ty for video

So Channel Divinity no longer restores divinity? I have enough mana problems as is when playing heal cleric

I hate the idea of "marking" before casting heals.

hey where can I find all your build for dc heal because here is the whole video about powers, I would like to see also eq, pets, insignia and favors

why is there a penalty for trying to heal multiple targets with aoe heal?! :D Isnt that what aoe is there for? do they want me to heal them all with soothe? :D

I think there are actually 4 new weapon sets, the 4th is only visible if you use "show by location". It has 1073 IL as green quality.

Fingers crossed whisperknife is shown some love

Why not give dc heals a damage resistance buff and maybe warlock heals a temp hp buff to kinda balance with the op over shield. The endgame content is hitting harder and op heals feel to be in higher demand

Lol, with all the lag on PS4, the first two abilities of channel divinity are going to be very...frustrating when it comes to the timing. Angel of Death has the same activation method as the second ability and it doesn't take much lag to make it nearly impossible to activate.

Thank Silvery!

Thanks for the video. Great info. 😎

We're not here for fashion!? *gasp* How dare you! :)

Thanks a lot @silv3ry Nerf of Blessing of Light, it do'nt fill Action point now :( ?

My warlock had BETTER be getting a buff, because we already underperform both other healing classes, either give me (MORE) magnitude or give me death. (or just make things cost a lot less souls sparks. Thanks for the video i look forward to the next

Can you show us some new healing mechanics in action?

Crown of the pit fiend + 150,000 power + owlbear cub = 5,700,000 obc dmg With 3 storyteller journals (or lostmauth set) obc can proc on crits and non crits giving it a 10% chance overall. That would average out to the equivalent of adding 570,000 dmg to each of your attacks...hmmm...

I’m on PS4 what is the best build for a healer

Found this video very interesting but I do wonder if the warlock's heals are going to be changed. Seeing that the warlock can get there health down to less then 1% so a big change in power using the gear would probably be best for warlock's as they can get below the percent the quickest.

So what dcs are now like palys back then spam r1 and at will to heal everything from what it looks like

I think heal #s are up to make up for nerf to in/out healing items. Should at least make companion choices interesting again

"I'm going to leave now.... Okay bye." We need to get you an official sign off message.

So... they remove warlock curse markings to give the healers bless markings to heal??? My god cryptic! 🙄

Cool changes! Do u know if Justicars had any update?

I guess every DD want this +7500% power thing on low life. Than they flame, when you heal them :) this just seems to be ridiculus. Thx for sharing Silvery

Thanks looks interesting ✌

Hi, i saw some to critical severity on healing...do u think vorpal still viable option?

Do you have a build or suggestions for mod 20 Im trying to figure out how to make a decent healer build thank you

Crit severity was changed also wasn't it? Along with outgoing healing companions having a huge nerf?

Yeah I actually need some to help me out with a good cleric build I’m aiming to go for healing an I been on KZfaq searching an videos up to 30min to an hour

Pft, my first thought was, damn they really didn't think about how crap the servers are and how much server side rubberbanding goes on when they made these changes. Like yeah it's nice in theory, what happens when the system lags and doesn't register you let go or you holding it. This is some bs big time. Ugh, why do they continuously fuck my class. This is just insaine levels of ignorence.

Mod 19 rip the cleric class 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Thank you, Have there been any changes to the outgoing healing companions?

Fighter dps?

hi. is this game free 2 play ? i mean not P2W

When is the release of M19 on PC ?

Would love to see fighter dps

When do these changes come to Consoles? Xbox?

I don't know why you are so confused about the bastion of health. It makes perfect sense to me. Maybe they should have voiced it differently. But effectively this is an AoE heal which increases in magnitude the fewer people stand in it. Which is great. You want to have AoE healing. And you want to have single target healing. You now have 1 ability that can do both. The only unknown factor is how much it heals as an AoE.

Is that white cat logo new??

Is it up already?

paladin when?

This is the worse Healer update ever. Introduce complicate mechanics is the dead of gameplay, a developer should knows it. The last dungeons like Tomm or Tic are very complicated for everyone, many player refuse to play them for the great difficulty, and now the Healers will be forced to "play better" they will touch the tab for exactly 3 seconds meanwhile many events are happening around them. In generally an update should semplify the life of players, let them to play easily, no frustrastion. The consequences will be that the Healers that not master this new "wonderfull" technique will be banned from the party because they will be accused of responsabilty of the party fail. They made changes to mechanics and they have not set a respec, this is the final "icing on the cake".

This isn't bad, it's actually better as long as you use two separate loadouts, 1 dps 1 heals.
