Healers need an overhaul

[Raven2014]

So you got Chadded by a cohealer one time back in Heavensward

You know the meme about people people reading only the headline and go ballistic without a glance at the article itself. It's similar to that here, even worse actually because it would like you only read half of the headline. Because if the very same sentence I mentioned that "chad" healer, I also said:

Oh, you think I haven't tried? Given my resentment of the matter, it'll be an easy guess for you how that often turn out. I still remember this answer a 99% stone mage gave me when I asked him/her to heal more: "why should my parse suffer for doing more than the minimum"? And that answer was the norm, not an exception

Not only that, I had repeatably stated my opinion is form from long and frequent history with PF. So either you are just being extreme selective and cherry picking just to dismiss my opinion, or just are not even put in the afford to have an argument in good faith.

So ... please put in more effort?

Sylphies don't have "good faith" arguments. There's a bog standard list they pick from, and the only variation is in the wording. Said list is very, very rarely updated.

1) Healers should HEAL ONLY! It's in the name!
2) Complexity is SCARY, you're just a mean gatekeeper who hates new healers!
3) If you want to deal damage go play a DPS! Unless you fixate all of your attention on the healing side of the kit, you're not a *~real healer~*
4) I watched someone casting Stone while I died once, therefore healers shouldn't be allowed to do anything but healing spells and /dance emotes! Being allowed to make mistakes harms the community, so it NEEDS to be foolproof!
5) I'm the best healer I know because I HEAL unlike those dirty DPS healers I see casting damage spells. They aren't even touching Medica 2! I'm clearly doing all of the healing in an instance. *I'm* the one who knows what I'm talking about.

its even better when you realize 1, 3 and 5 are the same arugment, and 2 and 4 are also the same.
