Developers : Healer design mentality needs to change

[ItMe]

I personally (in my baby-level opinion) would like to see the healing abilities get trimmed a bit.
It's quite awkward to intuitively see how one is supposed to use each and when... especially when you don't use most of them most of the time.
I dig where they're going with healers in PVP, and would like to see that direction influence how healers work in the rest of the game.

That's why you take the time to analyze a fight and see where to put which heal to get the most benefit out of it, it's basically where the last resemblance of a skill ceiling is.


In over 90% of the content you do not need to intuitively see how you're supposed to use them, you just press any healing oGCD and you wil be fine.

This. Most of the edits to healers over the last two expansions have either deleted punishments for playing poorly or deleted incentives for playing efficiently. There are comparatively few downsides (in most content) to just barfing out whatever speedy single target/AOE heal you feel like and going back to spamming the 1 key.
