General Healer Discussion [The Echo Chamber]

[ForsakenRoe]

everything

at first i was thinking 'no way could someone want WAR to be even more simplified' when i made those joking 'change suggestions' so dripping with sarcasm, wow is my worldview upended

you know the saying 'give them an inch and they'll take a mile'? my point is that WHM SCH and AST had a mile taken from them in the SB-SHB transition, but your stance seems to be 'ok SCH and AST can have their mile back, but only if WHM's mile stays confiscated' like they've been grounded for bad behaviour. 'friendly to newbies' doesnt mean it HAS to start at level 1, like look at Demon Hunter in WOW, it used to start at 98 in Legion when it first came out, got to 100 by doing the starter area, then just had 10 levels to go, to get to max level, and it's as new player friendly as it came. Sage starting at 70 would not have to mean it cant be the 'new healer friendly' design, doubly so considering that we can have solo instances specifically designed to teach the player what the job's skills do. your 'compromise' stance has now shifted from 'leave 1 as ungabunga' to 'leave 1-2 as ungabunga', so now i guess you're gonna start compromising with your own stance since noone else here will? getting hit by 'have your cake and eat it too' always makes me laugh, like what the hell else am i gonna do with a cake, put it on a pedestal and display it like a piece of modern art? waste of good cake, anyway i think im done writing essays now that i understand just how pointless trying to convince each other really is, so i'm gonna just go back to lurking and contributing to the healer shortage by not being in PF outside of raidlogging. gotta say preservation evoker is looking kinda interesting so far...

on which note, have you considered playing classic WOW? i'm pretty sure mages still have like 2 button rotations in Wrath, seems like it'd be right up your alley

oh yeh edit: aero 3 was 100% used in single target, you can go look up the old tooltip on gamerescape, the data is still there, it was apparently 370 total potency, compared to stone 4 which was 280? at the time, i dont remember exactly but i know for sure it never breached 300 so yeh, also you wouldnt cast 3 holys back to back, you'd do holy, aero3, holy holy because that way you wouldn't clip 1.5 seconds of the first holy's stun duration off by refreshing it early, and you'd get the aero dot ticking sooner, while the enemy still had HP to tick off. idk what guides you were looking at but i dont think they were the ones i saw, and if, like in this vid here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MGGYnq3JvA, aero 3 is good enough for 'world first clear' teams to use in single target, i think i did an alright decision in using it in single target too. directly contrasting my AWFUL decision in choosing to main WHM at the start of SB
