Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[Maltothoris]

Does nobody use Dots, AOE, or skills like Assize when they play Healer?
I mean I get it, Healer lacks DPS skills and Variety in Combat outside of their Main Role but I think its silly, or just weird that it sounds like everyone just hits 1 Button as a healer.

Well that issue with that is that you only hit your dot once every 30 seconds. A grand total of 2 times a minutes which does little to break up the monotony. When its 3 or more mobs, you're just spamming your aoe in place of your filler nuke. Assize is a ogcd that you hit on cd every 45 seconds.

When you look at casts and the actions per minute from the forbidden, you can see that the single target nuke can take up to 40-50 percent of all total casts, dwarfing everything else that comes after.

So yes, while we do have other buttons, how often we press them pales in comparison to our single target.
