Suggestion as to how to get people to become healers.

[Taika]

If you're saying Yoshida is lying to you, I don't know what to say to you.

Please don't try to put words in my mouth. Yoshida isn't lying, he's saying they're not considering healer DPS while tuning this content. But he's also saying the calculations are based on higher item level than what players have available when the content is added in the game. So if the players would play following that intention, they would not even try to beat the content when it's released. Hence, it doesn't make any sense to use this as an argument.

From looking at raid numbers, I see it completely possible- the enrage timers are pretty generous.

Look for parses from world first groups. I checked the A11S a while ago (it's available on YouTube) and they didn't have what it takes without healer DPS (A9S and A10S might be a different story - haven't checked - but they're exceptions to the general difficulty level anyway). And these are the best groups in the whole world. Not to mention how unfair it would be to actually expect your DPS and tank members to play at that level while saying it's completely fine for healers to leave a vital part of their toolkit out.
