New Healer Request Next Expansion

[Billythepancake]

I honestly want them to fix the current the healers before they add a fourth into the mix.

This 100 times over. SE can't handle the 3 healers they have now, why would we want a 4th one?

The thing is, they could absolutely handle the 3 healers we have now IF THEY WANTED TO.

Asking for a fourth healer AND a serious overhaul of the healing role is a completely reasonable request. A green light for the dev team to spend any time at all on healing would give us some really good quality of life changes next patch. I believe that. But they would actually have to put time into it, which they have chosen not to do. We feel unheard to the point that now we're bickering about which major problem a game should fix.

I want both. An overhaul now (5.x) that gives design space for that new healer in 6.0. It can be done. But it requires resources and I'm not confident that healing will be prioritized alongside more of SAM's minor adjustments.

We're trying to tell you, SE, that we want you to spend more time on our role to fix widespread, recognized problems with gameplay.

I personally am going to stop giving developers a pass by saying "well they historically haven't so they won't. They can't." They can. They could at any point and they have chosen not to and they are continuing to choose not to.

Big overhaul, new healer. For the health of the player community, we need both.
