General Community Resistant to Healer Damage?

[Averax]

I've wondered this myself for ages. After all nobody complained in HW or SB about healers doing damage or doing buffs/debuffs when they didn't need to heal (which was and still is around 70% of the time)
Maybe the wow refugees trying to bring their style of healing over? i haven't played that so idk, but I've heard damage is more random there.

Props to you mate, you got balls

People complained a lot about healers dpsing pre-stormblood, cleric stance made it a lot more unforgiving because you couldn't just go rapidly back and forth between damage and healing. It lead to a lot of oops moments because a healer would switch into cleric stance, something bad would happen, and they couldn't deal with it for 5 seconds.

The problem healers currently face is that there is just not enough for them to do, outside of unavoidable damage. More and more mechanics are the mess up and die type of damage, so there's nothing for a healer to fix other than offer a rez and get straight back to dpsing. Healers are complaining about having to dps because that's pretty much all they do.
