Is the "healing portion" of healers hitting a wall in EW?

[Atma]

That's literally how healers are designed in most games, video, tabletop, or otherwise. "Pure real healers who cast healing spells constantly" is an aberration from attrition healing MMOs, and that's about it.

Yeah, and they've always been overpowered in the hands of anyone reasonably competent too. 3.0 Cleric/Druid? Absolutely gods. 3.5? Little better, but still gods. Pathfinder? Yup, still gods.

I'm in a game right now where our party's cleric shucks out 100+ Damage a round, is basically untouchable AC wise by anything other than the nastiest of nasty's primary attacks, and can handle anything else the party needs. Is this a compelling game experience for anyone? No. And we're already talking about how to reign in this crap for the next adventure path we do because people are sick of it.
