The Healer changes for Endwalker are good

[AFuzzyMu11in]

While the changes themselves are good in a vacuum, the problem is that they're changes that don't actually address the design contradictions of healers and the game itself, nor do they fix the issue of healers having only 2 buttons to press during downtime.

Two buttons during downtime is a good thing. I want to play soraka and yuumi not zed who can heal and has lots of mechanics. You healers need to be grateful you won’t have to deal with the pain of openers and rotations made by the balance etc. You get to just play the game and enjoy healing when needed and broil in the meantime it’s stress free. And let’s people casually heal content instead of everything being hardcore.

Soraka in league has to hit her q to heal herself and the put a big regen when they heal, yuumi also is supposed to use her missle and jump out and auto attack for mana and a shield. you're really playing league wrong if all you're doing is healing lol.

I hate the idea of conforming to the lowest common denominator this way because it directly gimps everyone who wants something more than the barest of bare minimums by outright denying them the option to do more. Why? There absolutely should be more to do when healing isn't needed, whether that's more direct DPS, buffing, or other forms of utility. If you don't like that then just don't do it. If you're a casual player, then you won't be touching raids anyway so why does it matter if you intentionally underperform? Take all your DPS buttons off your hotbar and play the way you want, then let the rest of us that want to do more be able to do so.

I like raiding I hate rotations and openers as a healer.

So you want to perform at a high percentage for your job, but you don't want to put in any work to achieve those numbers. That's the least fair thing I can possibly think about.

1. This isn't league of legends.

2. Why are openers and rotations bad?

3. You can just play white mage, leave the skilled classes alone.

Can we please stop putting whm down to own these trolls, all healers should have a high skill celling not just the ones you play.

Saying white mage is simple isn't a put down, its a state of fact.

Just leave skilled play to ast and sage because clearly sch is also part of the simple half of the healers. besides it's not like the simplest job had never gotten to become the hardest job just look at Sam.

I think they breed a toxicity when you are forced into some random rotation/opener to make a raid group happy for dps reasons that are miniscule
