For those who main/semi-main a DPS (e.g. DNC, RDM) but like Healers...

Oh, look, something I didn't say, didn't do, and don't believe.

If that's true, then why have you chosen to die on the hill of one healer must not change at all? Why not try and find a middle ground with a simple healer that's forgiving to the beginner, rewards skilled gameplay for the veteran, and doesn't spent too much time spamming any one action? Why not work with everyone rather than against? You don't do that. You take the stance of we either accept leaving one healer unchanged, or you make our lives a living nightmare with walls of text and angry tirades. Why?

I've said MANY times that I think healers would be more enjoyable if we actually had more healing to do and more use of GCD heals.

Except we've beaten that dead horse as well. Adding more reasons to heal is great, but the amount of required healing you'd need to add to all forms of content, including things like dungeons and somehow solo gameplay, is so severe that it would annihilate the casual player base. But if you think that's the better option, then I have a request for you: Let's take a dungeon boss, say the first boss of Aetherfont: Lyngbakr. It's roughly a 4 minute fight. Why don't you show off how you'd rework that fight to have enough damage to force any healer of any skill level to cast more healing spells than they attack? You don't have to plan out the full 4 minutes. Show me what that fight looks like with a Sage relying more on Prognosis and Eukrasian Prognosis than Dosis III, and defend why that is manageable for the average player.

To show that, UNLIKE YOU, I actually have been flexible and compromised my position.

Well I will continue to have my "Inflexible" stance of being completely open to discussion about different concepts of how to improve healer design. You know, a really inflexible stance to have, being open to so many ideas and all.

We can move to a productive conversation when you stop being a royal hemorrhoid.

I've tried many times now to move onto a normal conversation, but you've actively ignored that each and every time. You are the one stopping us from moving on. How many times have I said I want to move onto talking about using Paladin as a source of inspiration for your simple healer design on White Mage? I have wanted to talk about finding a middle ground on the simple healer. Can we move onto that conversation? Or will there be another wall of text about everything except the one thing that can progress that discussion?
