Dev team, please fix the healer role

[SweetPete]

Reducing the amount of DPS buttons has not changed "healers prioritizing dps over healing" so giving more won't suddenly cause a mass pandemic of "GREEN DPS WHO DONT HEAL!" and 3/4 healers heal almost entirely through oGCD actions so I'm not sure what you're on about
Increasing the amount of healing required does nothing to help all of those aforementioned party wipers and instead makes it harder for new players, DPS actions do not raise the skill floor

I'm really unsure of why people who are so against having more to do than spam Glare Glare Glare because of "we wiped in the past!" always have the solution of "just make the entire role harder!"
Try to understand what you're asking for here lol

We’re you around during that crazy dps era of ARR and HW? This forum was filled with players who cried and complained to take away some dps of healers because they were causing wipes in dungeons, extremes, raids. Remember cleric stance? Remember dps sch who barely healed at all. Because I remember all of it. I remember when healers would say things like “I’m not a heal bot, I like to dps so if you get hit by unnecessary stuff I’m not healing you” it was crazy.

Since they have taken away allot of the healers dps allot of them became allot more humble and actually heal now lol. I don’t mind maybe rewarding healers for using certain spells like Whm using lilies to get the bloody lily. Maybe Astro after drawing 3 cards they get access to a larger dps skill like comet etc. I don’t want the devs giving healers back full dps rotations because I don’t wanna run into entitled healers who will refuse to heal because they wanna dps more. Sorry but just my opinion. Doesn’t matter if you agree or not. I’m glad healers are the way they are.

I truly feel bad for you that you had to suffer with the injustice of being inconvenienced in a videogame and failing at it. Truly, I wish they would make it where we simply cannot fail at content no more.
Or rather, no, I don't really care if you had experiences with bad healers in the past. Bad players existing is not a good reason for an entire role to be lobotomized, boring and irrelevant in most content. I have so many experiences with bad no mit tanks that cannot hold aggro to save their souls, yet I don't cry about how tanks should lose their DPS buttons. You know how many times I've died in content because the main tank died and I was second on the aggro list while the OT is standing there, braindead, slapping away at his 1-2-3 while I beg in chat "Provoke! Tank Stance! Grab Aggro!"? Because it's happened to me too many times to count.

Curious how this double standard only applies to healers though, never tanks and DPS players. 3/4 healers heal almost exclusively through oGCDs, DPS actions wouldnt affect that at all. Please start living in reality instead of fantasyland.
