It's time to hire dedicated Tank an Healer devs!

[Deceptus]

Healers not having many DPS abilities is intentional because some healers like to just heal and SE wants to support their freedom to focus on healing. They don't want to pressure them into doing damage when that isn't the role they chose.

And that's absolutely fine for casual healers. Veteran healers realize that healing is not intensive in this game and you'll easily spend 60% or more (a lot more) of your GCDs casting damage if you are playing halfway decently.

Because every role should be doing SOMETHING beneficial every single GCD they can. For healers, when there's nothing to heal, that means they're either:

1) Mitigating damage
2) Doing damage.

All we are asking for is that damage to be meaningful and fun. Not 2 damage buttons from lvl 4 to lvl 90 like it is currently.

And the solutions aren't entirely complicated. Easy solutions would be:

Scholar: Give back the Quickened Aetherflow trait. This ENCOURAGED them to use their aetherflow stacks.

White Mage: Change the FreeCure trait from Cure1 (it's a trap currently) to their GCD filler spell Stone / Glare.

AST: Give a Slow to Gravity or have Malefic lower the CD of ED by a second or two per cast.

Correction:
Many of the players that choose to weigh in on the forums hate the current set up.
"Most players" are silent on the issue and we cannot speak for them.

There was a quote somewhere and I'm paraphrasing from memory:

A complaint is an extremely important thing. People who are upset and don't care just walk away angry. If someone is willing to give constructive criticism, it shows they still care about the product.

how's that "fool me twice" saying goes again?

Leveling dungeons have ALWAYS hit harder than the previous expansion's endgame dungeons.

Dusk Vigil, The Vault, Siresong Sea, Bardam's Mettle, Castrum Abania, Holmister Switch all hit like trucks.
