Why are we here, just to suffer?
Honestly, once you get past that initial hurdle of ‘healer role is scary’ the role isn’t that bad, but damn it’s certainly boring unless the party loves oranges. And long term, if the devs want to keep player retention with the healer role they’re gonna have to make said role just funner to play.
Doing stuff like more forms of dps would be a good start, but less, Astrodyne, Misery and Phlegma, because they’re only ever available every minute or two, and more stuff like Miasma, Shadowflare, Aero 3, etc. Stuff like that to make it more then pressing Glare/Malefic/Dosis/Broil almost 30 times a minute and your Dot button twice a minute. Like around levels 30-60 should be when all these options are introduced, and build from there. At the worst just slap on a party wide healing effect on some of those buttons and you’re set.
You know, I'm wondering: how many of you have sent in this feedback via the in-game suggestions support link? I actually tend to send feedback when I can think of something specific, but I feel like a wave of specific feedback regarding the healer role being "boring" could spark some attention.
Thanks for letting me know this, I had 0 clue that there was something like this in game. I sent my feedback along about Scholar specifically and now I'm going to be writing a more general healer related one, hopefully others do the same and they read these. Any way we can make our voice heard!
I'll join in on this.
Although I suspect none of it really gets passed to anyone that would listen it is worth a try. And the more channels we use for giving the same feedback over and over the harder it will be to ignore it without creating a pretty bad imagine. I did it once ages ago but about time I get back into the habit of doing it. And I will make a habit of this. If they don't want to hear my feedback they'd need to suspend my account.
