Why healing is broken and terrible, and how to fix it...

[Naunet]

But you can if you dps during healing downtime. Most healers go by ABC: always be casting. It's rare when all they can do is stand around.

There is zilch fun about spamming a hard-cast nuke and occasionally refreshing a DoT. That's what I do the vast majority of my time as a healer, and that feels horribly wrong.

It's like you have forgotten unavoidable damage exists. There is plenty of it in the game. Avoiding telegraphs doesn't automatically trivialise healing.

And the unavoidable damage generally comes in a single, large burst that is recovered from with one, maybe two casts of an AoE spell. Then you're back to being a healer in duty finder role selection only.

What content are you doing?

Other games manage to keep healing engaging regardless of content difficulty. We shouldn't have to do the very top content in order to access even slightly more involved healing.
