I don't know why this thread was made when we had a thread detailing all the problems with Holy Magic already. But alright, w/e, we can do this song and dance again. First off, no one is saying that Holy Healing expressly is a bad thing. I'm not against Holy Healing in principle, but I am against the way it has been implemented; and this is the majority of people that have a problem with the current magic.
Basic anatomy =/= Nuances of medical practice.
This post here goes to show how out of touch you are with the rest of the servers roleplay experience. We get it, you're a healer and you see everything through this lense. The fact remains that the sheer amount of bad Holy Healers and the amount of people that use Holy Healing as an excuse to avoid all consequences is ridiculous. If you see the guy who gravely insulted your honor just walking around the city streets after you cut his sword arm off, how is your character supposed to react? This is fundamentally bad roleplay, and I don't understand how anyone can say it isn't. And even if you guys aren't intentionally taking away consequences, it doesn't change the fact that Holy Healing does.
The Holy Healer doesn't want their Magic nerfed. Right. You make the argument that Holy Healing is important so people can do healing without having to know too much about being a doctor, but then proceed to ask for Holy Healing to be much power powerful than a simple doctor. Sorry but it seems like there are some contradictions here.
Except we already addressed this in the previous healing thread, and you just ignored it. How in gods name are we going to monitor a system like this? It's impossible, and entirely arbitrary. I wouldn't be fully against a suggestion like this if it wasn't for the fact that it'd be impossible to implement it properly.
That sounds like amazing Roleplay. Shame it'd be ruined by Holy Healing regrowing **** tbh.
Except the current lore does nothing to properly express these limitations besides a few minor lines. I've seen Ascended replace hands, fingers, eyes, ears, even some limbs. Rework the Lore to be clearer and less able to be powergamed, and we won't have a problem with it; but at the moment it's in horrible shape.
Alchemy is also avoiding the consequences, yes. Replace a limb, don't just grow it back like nothing happened.
TL;DR: No one is necessarily arguing against Holy Healing, just the horrid way it's implemented atm. You want to fix Holy Healing? Remove all combat applications, and limit its overall power by SPECIFIC redlines and guidelines in the actual Lore.
