Why have the raid if there is no interest in doing it?

If you want to find something to complain about how about we address the overuse of DPS checks and push to have more mechanics based battles.

Screw DPS checks. Can we have HEALER checks??? Most of a raid boss can be solo healed, and even the healer solo healing can DPS. Healing on this game is too easy. I want fights where healing is so intense DPS is rarely possible for either healer.

I'm not anti-healer DPS btw. I'd be bored out of my skull if I didn't DPS because healing in this game is too easy. SWTOR is a terrible game in many ways, but even dungeon healing there can be more intense than endgame raid healing here. :/

Check out A4S before you wish too hard, no matter what strat you use the brunt is on the healers.

My raid groups causal (scrubs). We haven't downed AS4 yet but AS3 (and 1,2) healing is a joke.

when you try healing A4S come back to me

and say it was easy

as for A3S its easy to heal looking at how last phase force you to not DPS

and tanks go full DPS stance at final phase to regain the DPS lost from healers unable to DPS

Not really. I can still DPS when I don't have the DPS debuff. There are short breaks/moments between mechanics where I can quickly switch to cleric stance and put up a couple dots and/or put up shadow flare. I can even DPS during the "mini phase", as my group calls it, where the hand takes a healer. Even if I'm picked I cleric stance swiftcast+put shadow flare up before the hand takes me so that both the boss and the hand at least takes a tiny bit of damage from me.

I wasn't going to say anything about AS4 because that's just one fight where it's hard. That doesn't disprove the lack of healer checks in the game as a whole. I'd like to not be a DPS/healer hybrid in every fight in the game (except one) because healing is too easy. What I want, to be clear, is a whole raid where both healers need to heal 99% of the time. In fact I'd like it to become something normal in future content, instead of something rare.

In current gear yes, but if you were progressing in A1 at release the healing was nothing to scoff at.

I did progress during release and cleared it shortly after. My current group will never be first at anything, and we have to take breaks from raiding due to irl responsibilities, but we try to dive into raids as soon as possible. A1 is coil level healing and there were many times to throw up dots. Even during progression our WHM solo healed at the start so we could push DPS. Everyone knows that SCH do a lot of damage in raids, that's a big reason why we are desired in the current meta. I'd rather they bring us for mainly healing. Again I'm not anti-healer DPS. I try my best to push out as much DPS as possible. But I rather have to push out as much healing as possible.

As I said screw DPS checks give us healer checks.
