I gotta say I am really impressed with how many people piped up to share some positivity of their own. It took a lot longer than I expected for the jaded veterans to arrive with the usual complaints. Even then, I see y'all appreciating the good aspects of healers alongside the complaints. It's very heartening to see.

I had originally started this thread because I was sick of all the negativity around healers. I wanted to challenge (or troll) the naysayers, and to see how people would react. I'm glad it wasn't ignored, and it didn't turn out as antagonistic as I was expecting. Instead I got to share with y'all a nice respite -- reminiscing and appreciating instead of bickering and campaigning.

And don't get me wrong there's still good reasons to complain. It took a little effort to focus on the positive things in my original post, and keep it genuine. Because there are always caveats and shortcomings. I don't want to deny that, but I wanted to put it in contrast to the good things about healers. We gotta keep in mind what drew us to the role in the first place. I much prefer talking about how healers are cool but they could be better, rather than how they are rotting away and need to be saved from ignominy.

Anyways, thanks for putting up with my sappiness. Keep up the good work, fellas.
