after the lack of tank we have lack of healers now

So I been a healer way before 3.0 and got to say it's boring as hell having only one dd and one dot it's painful to solo. I bet there a few more healers that feel the same I do. Right now I been playing a dps for the story mode and my healer will be level in PvP. Sorry guys but will not be healing at all in this expansion only for my guildmates and friends.

Devs: dmg from healer is just a bonus
Playerbase: No, it is not
Devs nerf Healer dmg: Yes, it is

I think this is what happened.

Smaller percentage of pop plays healers & tanks. Endgame requires half as many of them as DDs. Supply & demand son.

If it weren't for the fact that my static still needed a healer I would be playing SAM full time.

didnt expect so much answers... so basicaly i understand the fact that some are in levelling and many don t want touch that anymore until se fix thatand others play with their fc only

thanks for answers and before a brawl begins with the famous healer dps subject this thread can be closed ?

sorry to have bother you with this thread ^^''

I'm healing at 70, and I don't find it boring at all. The higher incoming damage means I have less opportunity to dps (which I don't mind) though I do dps when I can. My only real disappointments are:

a) Plenary Indulgence/Confession sucks and isn't something I can use in any thoughtful manner due to the rng of confession. Sometimes if I see a stack or two is on someone I hit the button. Sometimes it actually heals someone... and sometimes the confession stack falls off right as I go to hit it... or they aren't close enough for PI to hit them since its a pbaoe... or they aren't actually hurt so the heal is wasted. Plenary Indulgence is as huge a disappointment as I expected it would be from when i first saw the skill. So all those naysayers saying "you're not 70 yet!" or "you haven't played with it yet!", yea you can all go pound salt cause I was right. Plenary Indulgence SUCKS.

b) No group utility/buff. Not having any way to buff the party in some meaningful way (i.e. Balance, Strategem, etc) is a real let down. I am hoping in the next patch they either make Presence of Mind affect the whole party or make Thin Air affect the whole party and reduce tp as well as mp costs. WHM needs some way to help the party besides just restoring HP.

Just get two RDM, a third DPS, and tank.

how long is everyone waiting on ques as a dps , I feel like ill never be a great dps just simply because the game doesn't afford an avenue to play them a decent amount because the ques are so bad

Scholar looks like it was crippled, I was leveling Scholar through HW as an alt, but may go back to WHM which seems like it too got smacked about a bit by the dev team, just no where near as badly as Scholar who lost offensive skills, potency, mana regen potency and healing potency along with the nerfing of Pet healing to boot. Not sure what in the world the dev team were thinking, it's like they did all the nerfing part of the rebalance and forgot the upgrades that offest all the decreases in potency and capability in order bring SCH back up to par.

Oh look, it's the new Arcanists...SE needs to recheck RM's healing capability even as a tank I am sick and tired of hearing ever so cocky RDMs blathering on about their healing prowess. If you want to heal, be a healer, otherwise kill stuff fast and keep your healing for solo content or emergencies.
