An interview with Yoshida and his thoughts on healers in 5.0

[Sebazy]

Healers will get completely reworked in 5.0 and all feel brand new and better. thats more important than a new name doing the exact same thing with no distinction

I'll believe it when I see it. The same was promised for 4.0.

Instead we got a bunch of rushed and poorly thought out changes across the board. All 3 jobs had glaring oversights that could have easily been spotted during the design process by anyone who actively played them.

Yoshida's comments about WHM yesterday didn't help things either.

SE are clearly woefully out of touch with how healers actually play in this game.

*edit* before I come across as too jaded. Don't get me wrong, there are occasions where SE do actually get things right with healers. Thin Air for WHM is a great example of that. Abilities like this that hit the nail on the head shouldn't be such a rarity though.
