Shadowbringers Healer Role: Complaints, Feedback, and Suggestions

[Rilifane]

Healers didnt have full fledged dps rotations, sure, but they at least had several dots to keep track of. They keep removing more and more skills until eventually we'll just have stone/broil/malefic. You can have the opinion you want to have about cleric stance, but i at least liked stance dancing as you needed to be smart about when to weave your heals to get the most dps uptime.

Not to mention the dots had different and shorter durations than now. Aero III had the longest duration at 24s but also long cast time (3s iirc?) while Aero I doubled as a movement/ weaving tool prior to the Aero II change.
Even something as small as having multiple dots with different durations and sometimes additional purpose already added a lot of variety to the gameplay while a single streamlined 30s dot is not only easier to keep up, it also naturally aligns with most cooldowns because they're on a 30s * x timer. And stance dancing with less oGCDs made overall for a fairly nice gameplay.
