Healers need an overhaul

[IDontPetLalas]

pretty sure I answer whatever's directed to me? I'll rephrase then, the people who actually played with the skills will know better than the new players who at most can only look up and read up how gameplay with those old skills were, and at the very least I think we can agree on the experience of actually playing with said skills vs just reading and seeing them in action? I'm posting here for the same reason you seem to be, to put my two cents out there, that's pretty much it, I'm not expecting anything to come of it? not meaning to come off that way if I am.

again, we disagree on the "know better'. Know "differently" - yes. You are basically invalidating new players opinions and perceptions as if they were new-born babies who had never played any game, had never healed in any other game or were incapable of talking to veteran healers and discussing these skills.
So to summarize (1) no, new players are not limited to "look up and read" and (2) new players may- not always- bring valuable experience and context that should not be discounted.

I can explain it again if that isn't clear.

how on earth am i invaliding new players??? i'm simply saying researching and seeing gameplay of how things used to be is not the same experience as actually playing back then. i don't think that invalidates anyone on either side. newer players are limited to "look up and read" unless you invented a means to go back in time and allow people to play the class exactly as it was back then? they can give their opinions on what it looks like, sure, but not what it feels like to actually play, which is all i'm saying.
