Shadowbringers - How can we fix this?

[Pokefan5]

I see no problems with healers being made to heal more as long as the developers create fight mechanics to compensate; this is a trinity mmo after all. By that I mean there should not be these peaks and valleys in raid/tank damage where healers can get everyone up and then spend a while dps'ing before the next damaging mechanic; if there is not more persistent healing needed, I can understand being upset with the changes. Healers DPS while healing in every trinity MMO, but this is the only one that typically behaves more like a non-trinity.

The thing is, I did the new EX trials and I still spend most of my time doing DPS, throw a oGCD here shield the tank there, back to glare I go. And it's not like I'm giving my co-healer hell by not healing, they spend just as much time as me doing DPS. That said I'm not even using my full healing toolkit for the most part, because the damage just doesn't call for it.

Yeah, it's certainly on SE to create an environment that requires the healing kits they're creating. They tend to do a lot of pass/fail one-shot mechanics, and boss auto-attacks that barely hurt. If they want to steer everyone away from healers being a "dps who occasionally heals," they need to create fights that warrant it.

I recently watched a video of someone going over each of the Spells and Abilities and he agrees with you as I do. There are too many healing abilities not just on SCH but WHM as well. This was pointed out by someone else in this thread where they said that they didn't even use all of their healing abilities in the latest EX trials. I believe it's the person that I'm quoting as well.
