Healers need an overhaul

healers: "waaaah muh dps"

you are a healer. heal.

if you want a dps, play... a dps...? it's not that hard, this is how it used to be back in the old days, considered COMMON SENSE for healers to HEAL and not outdps the actual dps classes.

You must not be very good at this game then. It’s ok, I don’t judge. Just don’t speak as if you know everything about how to heal when you clearly don’t.

"Advocating for overhealing shows that you lack experience" more specifically.

not sure who's been advocating for overhealing, since it isn't me.

Then surely you understand that usually not everything in the kit will be used in a fight, or as little as once per fight. Can't spend CDs on damage that isn't going out. And even if it is, congratulations, you're solo healing now. Hope your cohealer doesn't get too mad I guess.

If you were using your full kit, outside of solo-healing more difficult content, said healing would in no way detract from your Malefic spam.



Given the devs' refusal to make content require a greater portion of at-offensive-cost healing (short of wasting one's free healing kit), the only way to meaningfully affect gameplay would be to affect their activities outside of healing, since that is literally all that exists for one's GCDs once playing optimally.

I certainly don't agree with that direction; I do think we should be back to having more to heal. But if this is what we're stuck with due to the devs insistence that one should be able to get by as a healer when ignoring 90% of their buttons and 90% of what they ought to be doing... then that's that.
