Healers need an overhaul

[Raven2014]

So, basically, I have bad and good experiences under my belt, and I'm choosing to pull from all of them, and I believe you've had bad experiences and are just choosing from them as your basis while ignoring the rest.

Not at all. If I have such negative prognosis as you claim, I doubt I would play as much as I do. Like I said, I play on 4 toons, clearing savage on all of them every week, I already BiS out more jobs than I care to play, even dublicate BiS on the same job on different toon. Yet I still run them? Why? Because I actually enjoy PF very much these days. Correct me if I wrong, but I feel like currently I'm both enjoying both my jobs and my parties far more than the people who are arguing with me right now. In short, I think I had played, and playing way too much for you to dismiss it as "selective from a few bad memory". So from my POV, claiming you're more positive than me is a really hard sale.

Of course I have good memories as well. My previous statiic co-healer was a very conservative one, the kind that give you the license to DPS as much as you want and she cover the heal. My current one is even more amazing. "You will always get the heal you need" is what she told me during the interview. And by that, she didn't mean the bare minimum required by the fight either. She cover people mistake, recover run at amazing efficiency ... yet she still push into the top tier DPS almost effortlessly. So I'm fully aware those kind of healers exist, both in term of skill and mentality. But rest assure, I play more than enough to distinguish between what is the norm and what is the exception.

If even only half of the PF can provide similar co-healers to me even only half of the time, then sure go nut. Give healer 10 more DPS buttons, I'll even be supporting that idea. But ... get real.


My argument simply base on my observation, and It may be a bit presumptuous of me, but I think I work with a much larger sample size than the average player. And even more presumptuous is I would like to think Yoshi-P and his team had the same observation as I did years ago. After all, the way they have been "fixing" that issue over the last 2 expansion fit me to a T.

So feel free to dismiss and make fun of my opinion, it's no big deal. I have no need for agreement on the forum, in game is where it counts. And unless you're not being honest to yourself, you would know the current reality match whose opinion.
