Why nearly no one is playing healers nowadays ?

[ToodlesElNoodles]

So right now the topic is kinda funny at the moment because SGE is the new and shiny.

But I wouldn’t mind if we go back to no one playing healers again.

Daddy wants his insta-queues again. XD

Real answer?

Because there are TEN dps classes,

FOUR tank classes (the second most likely "adventurer in need,")


and THREE healer classes... Which will soon change and queue expectations along with it. I imagine we will soon see tanks being the "adventurer in need" for the next several months more consistently than healers.

Nailed it.

Don't bully the special kid.

Let him be "right" about it on the 4th day of a new healer being released.

I'll still be right by the end of winter and you'll still be rude and salty regardless. Let's be honest with ourselves here.

And you're right, common sense does make me special in these forums, though I wish it weren't so.

Interestingly, there was/is a strange area in the early access msq progression where you would find no healers to do content with. Seems to be that somewhere in-between "hardcore healer" and "I heal, but it's not my main", healer representation is thinner than other roles.

For example, you'd expect that healers would be similar to tanks, but apparently it's not uniform.

The only thing that explains this would be if the "less dedicated heal mains" all play Sage, but that sounds improbable.

Dream on, Nostriligmas, my roulette queue time has dropped significantly compared to previous days. Instant queue will on the table again in no time. Nature is healing

Because healing is annoying.

Deep dungeons and fate mills (like Southern front) have made it so that people don't need to learn their classes or roles.

Except healers who no matter what content they are running through they are healing but due to this we have.

Tanks who don't know how to use cool downs, who don't know that they should point the enemies away from the group creating multiple scenarios where dps is getting hit by stuff they shouldn't.

You get dps who thinks it's perfectly normal to stand in damage indicators because healer will take care of me. Or who stand at the VEEEEERY edge of the map so your aoe Heals and often your targeted Heals can't reach them so you have to move to them delaying casting time.

Then you get blamed when people die due to the above reasons or get yelled at because you are not dpsing. Because the tank isn't using cool downs and is bleeding like a stuck pig you have to spam your Heals just to keep then alive..or you had to rush across the map to reach that dps who needs healing and now you need your emergency heal to save the tank because you ranged him at the same time.

People are not learning their roles and its becoming a nightmare for healers so people just stop healing.
