My solution to this... is to play SMN

I mean, you know how the role plays. You either go into it knowing that you might be a little bored during the healing downtime, or you play something else. You're not a dps, you don't need an overly complex damage rotation that'll punish you for stopping to heal.

It's bad enough that healers are expected to heal as little as possible in order to pump out as much damage as possible.

It's the "go go go, rush rush rush" problem that WoWs M+ has that keeps a lot of tanks and healers away.

If you want to have a full interesting dps rotation, then maybe you should play a dps job.

Why doesn't anyone who recommends healers switch roles consider that healers are mandatory for all content. What happens when every single one switches roles.

The devs would realize they fucked up

Some very interesting hotfixes would happen if enough healers went "on strike." And something in me would love to see it happen.

Same. Too bad that is not something that will be easy to organize. There will always be people who are happy with the brain dead mechanics and "pretty flowers" (whm) or pretty stars (AST) to play those two jobs. That and we have trusts for dungeons now so you couldn't even start to make groups sweat for the initial launch due to healer shortages. Plus... Sage now exists and that's sure to get some people excited with how flashy it is.

At this point our only hope is that SOMEONE in the media tour talks to/asks them about healers.... Yeah, I'm not holding my breath there either.

True. And the huge influx of new players will probably do a lot to keep the ratio of healers to other jobs pretty steady..

Considering the dearth of content creators that even main healer... I think it would be more pertinent for the healer community to generate some constructive and non-aggressive questions and offer them to people in the media tour and encourage them to ask about Healers.
No one will get healers concerns out there but healers, and I don't think there are many healer fans in the tour.

(maybe we could even start a thread about healer questions and concerns to centralize things that we could potentially link people to/copy & paste from? Could that be helpful?)

I think Meoni is a healer (WHM) main... Not sure how he feels about the job though, so... maybe?

Maybe it will never happen.

I'm sure there're still lots of people who enjoy current iteration of healers. They aren't vocal about it but they exist.

You don't need to stop healing. Just flock to Sage and abandon the other healers. Monk had this happen to it and it made SE think about a redesign.
