Incentivize healer queues with mount achievements like for tanks

[Gemina]

Could also incentivize healers to queue by actually making healers more fun to play and actually listen to player feedback.

This.

To add, mounts are a poor incentive. Since you earn them once and you're done, they invite players who couldn't care less about the role or how they perform while playing one. You only need to look at your average pug tank. You know how rare it is to see a tank use Arm's Length and Reprisal with large pulls? These role skills are powerful mitigation tools, especially when used together, or one or the other along with a stronger CD. Those who care about tanking and performing well will know about and utilize skills like these, and just become acquainted with their entire toolkit altogether. Those just after the mount will at best just perform their minimum requirement for the duty.

It would be the exact same for healers, which I am willing to wager is the reason why they don't have a role specific mount. They have not stated this, but they also don't need to.

More likely healers don't have mounts because, until this expansion there was rarely a shortage of them. Now that they introduced a fourth tanking job with a rotation that's, honestly, more interesting than tanking jobs have historically been, and now that they made stance dancing go away for tanks, people have been more interested in playing the job. But before that, Square was doing anything it could think of to get people to just play tank at all. If healers do indeed get an overhaul next expansion with another job option, the shortage of healers in the wild will likely go away, and the need to provide incentive to play the role will go away with it.

Also to the original point, mounts don't really do much to incentivize people to play the role, just look at how often PF groups go up to farm an easy fight with 8 tanks just so people can get their mounts... would be the same thing if they added healer mounts.

Well, there is that Unicorn.
