Silent Treatment

[Risvertasashi]

They already threw it out. Then Yoshi P basically said, "Healers are fine. If they're not at least that strong, nobody would want to play them." Which is just a damn lie.

Take a look at damage vs healing potencies in the job guides sometime.

I have, in part because I also play DPS in pvp now that it's less hassle (don't need max level and at least passable gear). The problem is the forums are full of hyperbole. It takes exactly 2 DPS to burn down a healer. I know, because I like doing this with a friend in RW. And... that's how the feast works too.

So, let's say SE nerfs healers to the point where a single DPS can use their combo to kill a healer. Since the game is tab target and there's no body blocking... healers now can't survive. Feast queues have already been a long standing issue. What exactly do you think this would do to them?

Of course, all this doesn't rule out changes to soaring. (And, personally, I'd like to see SE give more power to tanks being able to... actually tank so a bit of power could be shifted away from healers, but years and a pvp overhaul later and we still don't have this. So lost cause? No one seems to care much about tanks being more than stunguns...)
