The state of healers is affecting everyone

[Jybril]

I don't buy the line that any significant number of healers quit. Healers are going to be in greater demand because the tank pool got a lot bigger and the DPS pool was always big.

Sometimes I still find myself waiting on tanks. Does that mean a bunch of tanks quit too? Nah.

It's going to be bigger now, because
1. They got a new tank to play with.
2. Heals didn't get a new heal to play with.
3. Healers are all homogenized and are boring so they quit or switched.

AST changes are definitely a big one, but it certainly doesn't help that all healers have been reduced to "spam 1 button over and over and over again until everything is dead, except sometimes you stop to heal for a second" Not very engaging to be be playing a modern game with all of the buttons you need mapped could be done on a NES controller.

I agree with the AST one.
I didn't usually care about all the DPS removal SCH for example but now it's so dangum boring
during downtime to all I am doing is pressing 111111111111111 OH YAY 2! Thank God! I can press 2!......11111111111111........
At least with WHM, I am floating and look kinda cool pressing 1 lol.
