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

Here’s the thing though. Shb was said(by the devs) to be the expansion where they spent the most time on the healers, yet it’s the expansion with the most controversial and negative results they’ve had to date. We haven’t really seen an influx of players wanting to play healer, so like at this point perhaps something needs to change? And what they’re doing isn’t actually working? It’s weird to me they continue to cull skills and dps each expansion and they aren’t seeing more positive feedback, but actually less. Yet despite this theyve still managed to dance around the idea of either giving healers more dps skills, or making raids require more healing.

We don’t know the rubric they are judging what is a success for changes made. For some, myself included, dumbing down the job is a negative, but if it results in a net increase of healers overall, that might be all that matters to devs. Moreover, we are very vocal, being on the forums…

If more of your average joe player in game are doing healer, that signals more of a success to devs than a few disgruntled players on the internet.

I remember when queues for dps were well over 30 minutes. I haven’t seen that since HW.

You are most lucky then!

This doesn’t tell us very much (no offense!)

The average time in queue depends very much on a lot of factors. What are you queuing for? Is it roulette (and therefore anything)? Is it for a very specific 50/60/70 dungeon? Is it current content? Is it Garuda, normal mode?

15 minutes is not that unreasonable for something super specific.

I admit there might be some longer waits on my alt (who is in ARR), but rarely is it the 30 or even 60 min I saw back in HW.

That's not how lilies work, they're a flat resource that you get one of every 30s. There really should be no "juggling" of regen and Medica II either. Regen goes on tank, and if you need to heal on the move or do an AoE heal there are ogcds that you would go through before Regen or Medica II ideally.

TIFO. Thumbs up for you- no sarcasm at all. I had been going all this time thinking they were charging based on actual amount healed during combat and not just time in combat…which seems much more bland.
