Why is the healer class basically a one spell dps class?

All i can say on the topic is this. I hope to god 6.0 introduces some form of a mini dps rotation to the healers. Will it happen? Most likely not. This playerbase can barely handle healing in endgame content (lvl 80 dungeons). Having to dps as well would ultimately shut down their brain cells.

Except we did have that, at least for SCH back as late as SB, and while there were a few wipes here and there, frankly speaking, I don't see what's so bad about wiping in a dungeon on the occasion.

It's a learning moment. It's definitely better than healers dropping their chosen role because they got bored with it because there's no complexity to DPSing. If dungeons don't give healers anything interesting to heal, then healers need something to make DPSing interesting instead.

You know what I do in every pull in dungeons as it stands? Excog, Sacred Soil, and an adlo prepull. If I find out that the tank's crap or they're taking a particularly hard pull, then maybe a whispering dawn or another adlo mid pull. The rest of my button pressing is just ground slapping until everything's dead.

Can't say it's very interesting to be healer when that's all I do every pull, every time.
