Healers in 5.0

[WaterShield]

We dont have the full information on the healers yet, nor is what we have final build information. Also, you dont have only 2 dps channels. You have at least 4, and potencies and damage outputs may change, some skills may get a damage output added to them if necessary. Again, this also depends on how encounters are handled. You may not have time to sit there and just be casting DPS for long periods of time. If everything releases and we play it and its just spam 2 skills over and over with a heal here or there, then you got reason to complain. But there's to many holes in the information for us to say definitively how its gonna be. UNLESS you really just want to be a DPS who can throw out some decent heals, then yeah, might be boring for you.

Way some of you carry on about these changes is that the devs just absolutely hate every last one of you healers and wants you to quit by forcing you to spam one button with a regen weaved in there. I am somewhat skeptical that is the case.

As someone who started the game as a healer... I can confirm that the devs do hate healers. Seeing as they seem to have no idea how to make them fun.

Started in Heavensward and loved healing... now I'm actually enjoying the look of Tank classes of all things. Plus Dancer as a DPS does more to support the party than all 3 healers put together.

Mind boggling.
