Because of his videos, I was able to convince someone who was in favor of the 1 button DPS spam into understanding our argument and in favor in adding more DPS spells.

Please note, these videos were made before the 6.1 patch.

WHM: https://youtu.be/dF3XIhJm_N0
SCH: https://youtu.be/b2YZ1dx34ug

Take his WHM video for example.

He suggests that SE brings back Fluid Aura.
  • The spell will act as a mini-Enochian and gives the WHM a 5% dmg boost.
  • Will upgrade to Water/Banish at later levels.
  • Adds the trait "Conviction" where if a WHM heals an ally that's below 50% of their health, they gain three Conviction "stacks" that boosts the damage of Fluid Aura/Water/Banish significantly.

He also suggests that SE introduces a new skill called, Sacrosanctity.
  • It uses the old Cleric Stance animation.
  • Marks an enemy npc and deals damage to them whenever the WHM casts a healing GCD.

I don't agree with everything on his videos, but it's a good watch and it helps non-healer players understand what we healer mains want. He understands the Healer role very well.
His videos are great! I don't agree with everything he suggests either but I can't deny that it would be more fun than what we've currently got.
