I mean you did say come back in a few years. As someone who’s been here since day 1, i can say, old healing, which everyone seems to claim is better than current healing, isn’t as good as people remember it. While i will say old scholar was much better, multiple dots and bane, old whm was not as glorious. What did old whm have that it does not have now? Stone 1, which added heavy. Not good for party content, having a mob or 2 lag behind, not getting caught in aoe. Aero 1 to be used with aero 2. Was more dps to just stone instead of stacking the lower DoT. Fluid aura. Usually got used wrong, and you get better results just walking up to the tank. Cleric stance. Now i was good at stance dancing. The community as a whole, were not. That skill was why we had a lot of healers who would not dps. The dps without clerics was weak and not worth it. Many were too afraid to miss a heal having it on.
Whm now is in a better, more accessible position than it used to be. Scholar, yes, used to be so much better. Astro pretty much same, except cards are dead easy now.
I really don’t think people recall what healing was actually like. How useless some of the skills were. That even having those skills, most people used barely half their tool kits anyways. Touching on what maxcarnage is saying, if healers wanted more in depth healing, they wouldn’t 1 button profane. Profane gives up the entire healing tool kit minus benediction, which they don’t use, as well as rez, which they seemingly also don’t use. Neither of which are effected by profane.
The community cries 1 thing, but acts another
