Reading this thread just makes me think back on how we used to have more status afflicting responsibilities (a3s being the last notable fight to ask for them) with heavies (Stone, Miasma, shadowflare), stun (CO), silence(fairy), bind (Stella), knockback (fluid aura).

The devs have taken away quite a lot of CC over the years from healers and unless they do a 180 and give them back, I doubt they would make repose mandatory for anything other than that 1 quest, just look at physical ranged having bind/heavy since role actions became a thing yet to incorporate them into a fight.

CC skills are useful solo and get less useful in group content nothing wrong with trying to make the CC skills more useful in group content so I think someone needs to chill on the anti-resposers hate.
