It was pretty good until I hit this line "Healers have some of the most confusing and complex combinations and rotations" smh

that's a blatant lie sigh
there are no combinations and nothing about any other healers is remotely complex

Ignore the haters that want to insist Healers are braindead so they can play a DPS in this game but get treated better (grenade!); your guide is great. Thanks for sharing it! o/

I've seen roadkill with more brain activity than Healers. The most complex thing a healer has to do is target someone that needs to be healed and that's really it. Timing your CD is a universal thing that all roles do to varying degrees so what exactly makes healers more "complex" or" complicated"?

Here we go. Those of us unhappy with healer design are filthy rats soiling your white satin REAL healer robes. We are beneath you. You are the messiah who knows the light. We get it.

(EDIT2: You know, never mind. It's just not worth it with you.)(EDIT: The sad thing is, you're perfectly CAPABLE of having them, you just choose not to. We've had them before, and can have them anytime, when you aren't acting ...that.)

Play AST for a day or two.

And come now, there's roadkill with more brain activity than DPSers or Tanks, so that's not really a high bar anyway.

That's the only 1 from 5 given tips that I'd wholly disagree as well from the guide. They could've just leave it at 'Take your time to understand your class' then suddenly it'll turn into a perfect general healer guide for newbies.

I have. Hardest part is targeting people, nothing more.

Treated better?

Doing dps as a healer is the most thankless job in the game. You keep the party alive, contribute to raid damage and some sprout goes onto the forum to write a wall of text about filthy no-heal dps healers because they dipped below 50% when there was no raidwide for another 50 seconds and oGCD heals don't have cast bars they can see. Meanwhile the Sylphie gets showered in comms because everyone felt "so safe" while drowning in overheal.

Ignore the Sylphies that want to insist healers must stay braindead so they can do literally nothing of value in this game but get treated better.

Sadly, my tolerance for passive aggressive elitism is very low. Stop parading the fallacy that the rest of us aren’t real healers and I won’t feel obligated to act… “that.” You’re perfectly CAPABLE of being humble, you just choose not to.
