Nobody Really Wants To Heal

[RyuDragnier]

I'd rather prefer if healers were more support in general, and got more party support oriented buffs and debuffs. So say, AST could increase raw damage for the party, SCH could put debuffs on enemies that could strengthen the party (think chain strategem, but also versions for direct hit, and vuln down), and WHM could increase the party's substats, such as DET/SS/Crit/DH. Basically, give the healers more to do to support so we worry less about DPSing and more about increasing the rest of the party's DPS while not healing.

Tbh this is how it was in Lineage 2, you had a pure healer and 2 co healers which acted like a mana generator and had more buffs/debuffs and some healing spells + an ultimate buff which could be used only on a party member for 4 mins or so.
That combo was really effective when raiding since the one healer could focus on the tank /party and the others would have to keep the main healer mana and also use the ultimate on a party member every time it was available.
So in the end there wasn't any dead time for healers at all.
