The Healers should be reworked? New player perspective.

[Renathras]

...

I didn't say people were attacking the Healer ones. My point was that more people are willing to answer the Healer ones (negatively) than go to the BLM ones to register a negative opinion about it.

One loathed, one incompatible with raid design, one the top dev’s favourite child and the last both accessible and coherent but unable to do level cap content? Sounds about right.

Why don’t you care for blu healing? It has a focus on strong gcd heals and a variety of damage options.

One brings shadow, one brings light
To this riddle all souls are tied
Brief our moments, brazen and bright
Forged in fury, tempered in ice

One brings shadow, one brings light
One more chapter we've yet to write
Want for nothing, nothing denied
Wand'ring ended, futures aligned
One brings shadow, one brings light

They all work, it more comes down to what's optimal. And everyone should remember the phrase: One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Many people wouldn't loathe it at all, and at this point, it's borderline impossible to not be compatible with raid design. It more comes down to how much people want to fuss about ~2-3% dps. Many groups do, but then again, there are absolutely raid groups that take whatever they have and don't care at all.

As for BLU healing:

Do much DPS focus. A majority of your buttons are for dealing damage. At that point, I may as well just run a DPS BLU in a 1T/7DPS setup and everyone cast White Wind.

I like the healing kit okay, I don't like the DPS kit.

Something like that as a starting point. Anyone who cannot stand the other healers having more DPS buttons can play the new BLU, and anyone who wants a more complex BLU can play BLU as a DPS or Tank. Everyone wins.

And the best part is, the alternative to this would also be 'an option': BLU is the highly technical, 'it has insane skillcap', PHD complexity healer, and WHM stays as the sleep inducing brain-off healer it currently is. Everyone wins (except the people who like WHM aesthetic and want actual gameplay)

"Four Healer Model", "Five Healer Model"; same thing. This is literally what I pitch all the time.

Like, this is literally what I pitch ALL THE TIME. Normally, my version is "SGE has a DPS rotation, SCH has more DoTs, AST has more buff focus, and WHM stays the same" and under that idea, SGE and/or SCH would take the place of your BLU Healer here. But it's honestly just two ways of getting the same result. Hell, we could do them BOTH.

Best to stay on topic as a healer discussion on the rework.

Could be nice. But I'm not sure this discussion is bad, per se.
