Where are all the healers?

[Cynfael]

Sometimes I just want a freaking break for a sec or two while I preposition, grab a drink, etc. If I wanted to play the "ALWAYS GOTTA MASH BUTTONS, NO WASTED GCD!" I'd play a freaking melee, kthx.

I appreciate your transparency, but I would challenge this. If the other two roles are expected to stay more or less on top of their GCDs and not take mini-breaks during active gameplay, why should the healer role be exempt from that expectation? Doesn't seem very equitable.

That being said, there is a huge gray area between world-first efficiency and complete sloth, and the vast majority of players happy with a visible effort. And again, healer DPS is quite impactful if executed even to a fairly average degree.
