If you thought the healer DPS debate would change with the change...

Bit late to the party, but I think that healer DPS should be seen as more of a ‘bonus’ than a ‘requirement’. It’s good to have, but you can still get by without it (excluding min ilvl savage etc obviously).

As a Scholar I don’t have any issue with dealing damage while healing (mostly because of how the class is designed), but I can totally understand why people wouldn’t. I think that we should see much more healers if this pressure didn’t exist.

I also still think they need to add some buff spells to healer role actions. Whether it’s damage buffs, or a Protect like spell that reduces damage taken for a short duration (10s), I think giving healers a way to contribute to the fight other than dealing dealing would make the healer DPS debate much less of an issue. Something that lets healers “always be casting”, even if they aren’t casting attack spells
