More fun than spamming Cure II at 90% HP.

So what your saying is the gameplay design of healers is bad? They should have more engaging healing gameplay? I agree with you.

You haven't even played the 4.0 healer classes yet. But whatever, you guys be as negative about it as you wanna be. I'm pretty sure a half to one year of testing can make a team confident about their decisions.

Like in HW with the balance mess that was AST? I am being negative because I watched a 4 hour live letter and read the translations on every spell shown and it very much discouraged me. Don't get me wrong. I love what they have done with a lot of the other Jobs and SB looks gorgeous. The PvP changes I think will be a real win. I love the flashiness and the theme and I am very excited for SB but the fact that dpsing is such a massive part of being a healer that you have threads like this shows an issue. I have felt they have had issue with the Healing meta for a while now and part of their reason for not adding another healer was balance. Then we see this which doesn't seem to be really addressing those core issues that lead to the problem in the first place. This is the only MMO I have ever played where this has been such a present issue.

The fact that healers have so much downtime that they are expected to be dpsing is an issue on two fronts. Firstly they clearly don't have enough to heal and secondly their dps rotations are exceptionally boring. I have seen nothing in this live letter to address those issues and it concerns me.
