Healers in 5.0

[Melichoir]

They should've reduce the potencies instead of removing it all, then it wouldn't have been full healer and dps as you say. Even though i'm sure it's not actually doing as much damage as an actual dps, so we can't talk about it being both a full healer and dps.

But again, it's all about having something to do aside from healing because healing is an adjusting job, not one with a rotation to be kept busy all the time.

Admittedly, SCH obviously isnt a full DPS. But in comparison to how DPS/TANK handle some off role utility as well as how the other healer's manage dps, SCH was a particularly DPS heavy class. Trimming back Potencies couldve been a solution, but then its buton bloat and people saying "How dare they remove our DPS! Its gonna be WHM now. Thanks alot! >"

I mean consider it this way. DPS have a DPS rotation that can throw in a support utility every now and then. The equivalent of this among healers is to have a Healer Rotation (or management) that can throw in a DPS attack every now and then. This will all be dependent on how content is handled in ShB. For better or worse, I give the devs enough credit to know that if healing is fairly easy, that the classes would be boring as well if theyre just spamming 1 attack and healing every 10 GCDs. I personally think ShB will be more healing intensive than the last two xpacs and youll have a lot less time to sit back adn pop out tons of DPS (for a healer).
