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

[Deveryn]

I saw an interview Zepla did with Yoshi P and I was stunned by out of touch he seemed to be with the healer meta of his own game and it left me wondering where exactly are the devs pulling this feedback from? Also shocking were some delusional comments on the video from players acting like healers DPSing in high-end content is some new, revolutionary concept. What game are they playing?

The interview in question with timestamp.

What game are they playing? The same one we are, as he notes in the very same interview. For better healer commentary, you might try MTQ for more healer talk.

As for the Zepla interview, what exactly is wrong with the answer?

They're pulling the feedback from whatever the best source is, where things are communicated better, which is something he comments on in Zepla's interview. Saying someone is out of touch and not really elaborating on what could be done is a great way to keep dragging this on and see no change.

What's wrong with the answer is that the meta is for healers to DPS. Yoshi P has said in the past they don't design encounters around healers DPSing yet that seems to fly in the face of actual encounter design and enrage mechanics. So here he is saying they were pulling in feedback from high-end players who were tired of healing all the time and wanted more opportunity to do DPS.

Meanwhile you look elsewhere, beyond what Yoshi P says, and you see feedback of people asking for more complex DPS rotations or more healing required. So again, where are the devs pulling their feedback from because it seems to be for a very different game. The one I'm playing is designed around highly scripted damage and ogcd healing between single button DPS spam.

It's like the Glare spam. Healers have so many instant tools to heal, that I can't really see why adding a bit more complexity to the dps rotation will mean less skilled players can't play the job. The healing is already overkill in most cases (to the point that it trivialises a lot of content outside of savage and in a bad way imo), so what is so hard about adding a few more buttons/CDs to the rotation? Hitting 1 button for the dps phases, which can be pretty long, is dull, no matter how you slice it.

I just want to say too, another example of them clearly not playing their own game. Yoshi P went on to say that Sage is the “dps healer.”Yet, it literally has the same exact number of dps skills as ast…. hello?
