LL impressions pre-patchnotes: healers still garbo it seems

[Torunya]

"Balanced" is still plenty accurate. Their high end performance is close enough that you can play any healer you want and not get turned away from parties (except in cases where they already have one of the job).

I understand that this is the devs intent. They have made it abundantly clear that they want to avoid exclusion of any kind; however, achieving this through homogenising the jobs is not so much an achievement as it is an easy way out, in my eyes. I, for one, think the devs are taking this way too far.

It's fine if you disagree, but I don't think sucking all the fun out of what made the jobs interesting and distinct from each other and then clapping your hands together claiming they're "balanced" is the kind of balance I would want. It's homogenisation through and through. It's not difficult to avoid exclusion if everyone is the same, but this comes with a hefty pricetag -- the loss of diversity. For all the time many of us have invested into this game, we deserve better than that.
