Healers need an overhaul

[LeonKeyh]

I see everyone wanting them to do more with the Fey Gauge. Why? The fact that they have consistently failed to do anything interesting with it should show that they're incapable of doing so and I'd much prefer they remove it entirely than try their best at maybe accomplishing making it interesting after 4 expacs (because they won't do it in EW) while yanking out the only interesting thing left in SCH's kit to do so.

I don't think that removing it is in people's minds, that's all. I think that their train of thought is just "There's only one ability that uses the Fey Gauge, there should be more than 1 ability that uses the Fey Gauge." Removing the Fey Gauge entirely is somewhat lateral thinking which isn't something that a lot of people do.

I agree that it is unlikely that they would be able to do anything exciting with it though. Getting rid of it makes much more sense.

In hindsight I do find it kind of sad that the bar is placed so low that a singular function that effectively works in a 2 action loop warranted a gauge.

Any other game and it would simply be a charging type skill, no gauge just some numbers at ontop of the skill icon to represent the value of your current stacks.

Kinda feels like the devs want to be patted on the back for rediscovering charging skills.
