Healer boycott in 5.0

[Hysterior]

2 days to go and I still don't what healer to start with...
AST sounds like it could be the most fun of the 3 but WHM is always reliable and SCH gets you SMN to 80 as well.... the struggle is reeeeeaaaaaal

I was main AST and now i will play Scholar ... what a retard change, AST have basicly just 1 damage card, so fun ... wow ... no new healer for those kind of stupid change. The 6 years of waiting are so Worth it !!

+ in dungeons as AST it will become so uninteresting now until lvl 80 at least

Is it actually worth me expanding on why I feel this way? This thread is enough of a train wreck as it is and I honestly didn't want to post in it at all



Actually I'd argue that it was.

Very very few if any top flight healers will ever suggest that you should be blowing every GCD on damage. This is just bluster that's made up to justify this whole pointless argument.

ABC, Always Be Casting is step one.

Being alert is step two.

GCD efficiency is step three.

But that doesn't fit the agenda nearly as well does it? =(

Best part is, if you follow ABC, you'll quickly learn that you have to DPS as a healer and quite a lot too. Anyone who doesn't DPS as a healer is objectively overhealing beyond belief or being carried. You simply cannot in good faith spam heals for the entire encounter. Even with this babytier rotation, bad healers will continue to spam heals and do nothing else. At least give those who give a damn the tools to have our filler fun.
