Please Nerf Shield Healer Pure Heals

[EaMett]

Could players have a hand in this issue too? In that if a class has a high ceiling players then, in my experience, expect to be rewarded with higher performance if theycan hit that ceiling. Which can in turn cause stigma towards another class and lower it’s representation as folks refuse to take that job. It’s a conundrum that I don’t envy any game developer. Just wondering if and how much this comes into their design philosophy.

I think it goes deeper than just that. I think they want this so that healers towards the skill floor don't feel as pressured to DPS. Which highlights their "healer's main focus shouldn't be DPS" state of mind. And although I don't think that's a bad stance to have, they haven't once showed a desire to adapt the content to it. They want it both ways and it's just not possible.

This seems obvious to any career healers. But they seem to be lacking that within their team, and no influencers really match that role short of momo. Who, might I add, wasn't considered part of that demographic last expansion. Also, momo is just one person who has a very pragmatic approach to healing. So for example, and you guys can correct me if I'm wrong, AST card changes were a great improvement for him since they guarantee much more consistent results for speed runs compared to the previous system. That's absolutely valid but it's probably not the majority choice since there are many other opinions surrounding that change that are just as valid.
