Time to expand a little on my comments about SE needing to hire a healer designer.

SE's always been weirdly selective about the healer feedback they listen to.

Take, for instance, 4.5. They listened to the odd person or two saying PI sucked and so let's buff that so WHMs have more healing. And just a bandaid until the expac, you say? Well, no - even now, they've ignored the many more people pointing out WHM will never be competitive without utility.

It would be very nice if someone from the dev team - at least on the battle systems side of it - had time to get really in depth familiar with healers and how they play at the high end. They've really been missing the mark with healer feedback and balance for so long now...

The real irony is they kept stressing how they wanted to reduce WHM's aggro issues with that change. Except the buff to Assize actually caused them to have higher aggro due to the sheer amount of overhealing you now do. It goes to show, they expect us to hold Assize for healing when optimized WHM play tells you to blow it on CD.

I love that mr happy is always present and I do agree that he generally does a good job when covering things. Especially considering he covers everything, like seriously.
But on more than one occasion he’s missed out on the subtleties of the role and missed opportunities to follow up on them in subsequent interviews. Also, why would he when he needs to cover ground for all classes and any other extra questions he may have.
Would be nice to have more niche guests for the tours.

Hopefully by the next media tour Momo Sama has a strong enough Twitch presence to get invited. At least then, you would have someone extremely knowledgeable on healers that can ask questions. Not to knock Happy, Xeno and the like. But they just don't play healers extensively enough to pick at them.
