I'm gonna say it. cause no one else will.

I wouldn't mind more challenging healing myself (though only slightly more, since I think it's already plenty challenging), though I hope you haven't forgotten that we're at the end of an expac and it's only natural that you're overhealing just about all the current content and there IS an impending ilv crunch coming that will no doubt change healing across the board, especially coupled with the new content which everyone will face in green gear at best. Your healing toolkit is about to be a lot more relied upon.

So why ask for more? The pedestal you stand on is about to be kicked out from under your feet and is only ever temporary anyways. Lay off the demand for more dps buttons till you see the true amount of changes. Healers are fine the way they are without these weird desires for more complexity to fill small downtimes that are likely about to vanish for the next several months after launch.

Stick to healing and stop whining about how boring it is, or play something else for everyone's sake.

You’d have a point if there weren’t Week 1 Savage instances where I’m doing no healing. This is far more than outgearing content. Week 1 Eden’s Verse was still not that demanding on healing outside of E8S. I’d say the same for Promise if I hadn’t been forced into playing physical ranged as opposed to the role I really wanted to play, but the only heal checks in it where E11S cycles and E12S.

It actually is my hope that the stat squish will up healing requirements, but I somehow doubt that. Considering we’ve been asking since HW for more healing and have yet to see it. Just more tools to be overkill in the content. And the developers also won’t make things too uncomfortable for baby healers. Which fine. I don’t necessarily need dungeons to have Savage-level healer checks. I’d just like more reasons to use my kit more.

I’d love to be wrong, but my hopes aren’t high.

Pardon if we don’t feel optimistic about what the expansion will bring after being repeatedly disappointed. The devs said in both SB and ShB we’d have more healing to do. I’ve yet to actually see it outside of some portions of Ultimate (others, not so much—looking at you, Twintania). If anything, healers continue to just get stronger—even with the lack of scaling they added in ShB to post-70 heals.

Because many of us have been down this road before. During the Shadowbringers media tour Yoshida outright claimed they increased the outgoing damage yet that simply wasn't the case whatsoever. By the end of Don Mheg I was wall pulling everything in sight while several healers I got spammed Holy/Art of War/Gravity. You mention ilvl except I've healed every piece of non-raid content (and some EXs) on release without ever deviating from spamming my DPS nuke because I have nothing else to do. This notion we'll suddenly have to worry about healing when new content releases is a pipe dream. We won't. We'll spam our two DPS buttons.

Stick to healing? Would you just "stick to tanking" if literally 90% of what you did was spam Bloodspiller?
