Yeah, you peak as a healer so early in the game and not just gameplay-wise. After you understand that you should use your “free” healing stuff first before casting GCD heals, you find out that the game doesn’t do enough dmg to even warrant GCD heals most of the time.

People talk about how intricate and smooth WoW healer gameplay is so I do intend to try the game out at some point. Not sure if I can do that right now with all the hubbub going on behind the scenes, but definitely in the future.

I agree. Healers are fun to play in pvp, especially frontlines. I just love how chaotic it is and how you have to ration your healing kit.
I was told to do harder content when I talked about how awful 111111ing is. So I went and cleared savage and it was mostly the same. Then when I told people that they called me a toxic raider so…. there’s no winning, I feel like.


On Topic:
I do think that I would have enjoyed Endwalker if it was split into two expansions. Pacing issues abound, especially with the Loporrits. I honestly thought they were going to reveal the moon plan with the Forum members first, but they went around and showed the bunnies first? Weird. So when they announced it I was bored.
