The state of healers is affecting everyone

[EaMett]

Nah. You're definitely over exaggerating. I've noticed Tanks being in need far more often than Healers.

Odly enough when it’s tank in need I still get insta queue on healer. When it’s tank in need and I go tank I always have to wait, sometimes I’m 20 in line. I still don’t understand how that algorithme works.

Also I believe from the census’ made from the lodestone that healer supply is low in shb. Given the state of static recruitment and other factors it’s pretty safe to say many healers have quit. A little anecdotal but I myself found my static because their healer went dps due to the changes. 5 other of my healer friends who stayed healer are also in the same boat. It’s never been this bad imo.

Time to add add healer exclusive mounts!... >. <

Heck yes! Why should tanks be the only ones who get mounts! I want my WHM mount!

[Billythepancake]

Wrong! WHM had 2 in SB, 3 in HW. Why do so many Sch's think WHM only had one in SB and not realize Aero III was taken away? AST was the 1 DoT SB healer, 2 DoT HW healer. WHM got the same gutting SCH got and then some in SB, which is why only Aero 3 was all that could be removed (unless you count possibly the most useless trait in the game going away too).

Part of the problem also is most healer mains like me have already leveled all 3 healers, meaning Trial roulette is no longer needed for leveling our healers and using it for our other jobs. Maybe adding a healer along with a tank would have stopped that problem.

We know, and we do feel for WHMs losing and I personally want WHM to have Aero III back, but, realistically, in this expansion from the last one, WHM was hit the least of the 3.

Mediocre Guy, can you give us the exact name of the duty you are queuing for? It will be easier for us to help solve your problem that way.

There are a "lot" of duties you can queue for after beating the Praetorium.

No amount of phantasmagoria is going to bribe me into getting into those low level roulettes as a healer. Good god is it boring to run low level content as a healer.

I think most people use those for leveling and not tome farming. I know I don't.

Keep in mind we always get a bit of a draught a few months after a expac hits since there isn't much "additional content" out yet. So yeah folks are taking breaks after clearing savage and playing other games till next major patch drops, expect some very iffy queue times.

[Rasikko]

Hasnt affected me. Still getting into DF just fine. It needs to be said though, im out of fingers and toes when counting the number of schs and whms Ive grouped with, but I just got to my second hand for AST..:/

This thread is a mountain made from a molehill.

For the vast majority of content now, it's gone back to Tank in Need. AST is actually in a really good spot right now. There's really not that many people still hung up on card changes. Certainly not enough to cause queue delays.

The reason your queue is so long, OP, is because it's content that no one does anymore. I'm actually partially convinced you already know that that's the reason (since you wouldn't mention the specific content you were trying to do), and you're just making a stir-the-pot thread to complain about healers and not get your thread deleted.

For outdated content like that, you need to make a Party Finder to get it fast. And if you're trying to do an old trial synced (versus unsynced), then be prepared to wait awhile.

Making healer into a heals focused class like all the people crying on the forum wanted created a boring one note role. Who could have possibly seen this coming?

News at eleven.
