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

This indicates either our healing potency is way too strong or the overall damage we receive is way too low
We don’t have to push to the extreme where only top tier player able to heal through content. We just need push the intensity to a level where majority of players will have much higher healing uptime. I believe our players base skill level is more a bell shape standard deviation rather than the M shape model. In such case we would have majority of players spending more time in healing and top tier player still find room to dps, and being top tier I think they already have the mind set of pushing to the limit
I believe that the meta of heal dps is more to do with “nothing to do”. With this change, even DF would be less boring. It just feel so wrong all I need to do is cast a regen or occasion oGCD heal when boss drop a tank buster, while casting dps skill most of the time

HoT will become more sustain heal or buying healing time for incoming big dmg, or even just some cast and forget skill anyone making minor error in the run, while oGCD would turn into emergency heal, and we could using more GCD heal

Currently running my AST I feel like a weak dps with some healing ability. This is not the type of healer I remember back in 2.0 when even Titan hard mode feel like a threat

I already gave my opinion on this so I'm just going to quote myself here and underline the important part:

The skill gap in this game is basically too big to make it highly healing intense, because in the end the very good players will always find ways to DPS and other players will try to get there too/expect others to get there, which will lead to rude players demanding healers to dps.
In the end nothing will change, imho.

Ofc healers are dpsing bc they don't have anything else to do, but that's not the major problem people have in this thread. It's the demanding stance some rude ppl have torwards healers "having" to dps and as I said: No matter how hard the healing requirements will become, this will not change at all.
