If you’re experienced and/or care to optimize your play (aka are a main/career healer) these changes are a serious nerf to your enjoyment of the role. You can talk all you want about how some people enjoy healers but census and the current healer drought speak volumes about what the player base thinks of the healer changes.
Okay there is no healer drought I dont know what gave you that inkling. Is there alot of Healer wanted queues absolutely but anyone thinking back to HW when Dark was a new thing can recall this was also the case because everyone had to go out and get thier hands on the new shiny tank class and take it out for a spin once the honeymoon period wore off things returned to normal which seems to be the case once again things are stabalizing and actually they're going better now because theres a balance between dps needed healer needed and tank needed bonuses.
