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

[Atma]

Here, I'll try to be very succinct in my thoughts.

The challenge I have with this is that people seem to view "adding more DPS", be it just options or abilities that net out to the same damage, is a fix. It's not. The remainder of things will simply be rebalanced around those changes so it will net out the same. Your 'contribution', as probably best described, will remain unchanged. You've gained nothing except more buttons to press to do the same thing. Side note - I don't think they're going to do this because again, the trend right now appears to be actively working to reduce class buttons, not increase them.

There are not two choices here. There are 3.

Increase healing requirements - What I think most people actually want to happen. I get it, they're resistant.
Do absolutely nothing - The stalemate continues, things go on as is with people being disgruntled and upset.
Add DPS abilities - I am so vocally opposed to this because I think it is *absolutely detrimental* to a real fix ever being added. The minute people capitulate to this is the minute they get to put up a big Mission Accomplished banner in the office and call the problem solved, and then immediately proceed to just start rebalancing all future content around it so nothing fundamentally changes. Will there be a short term dopamine rush? YES. Will it then go on to continue to require more and more and more to be added to keep providing the same? YES. Will it solve anything at all on a core level? No. It will not.
