Make healers DPS with four or five healing actions

So you're saying make this Guild Wars 2.

Kind of depends, I played GW2 for a bit at launch I remember healing boiling down to personal responsibility? I have it in my head they changed direction with that later though?

Blade and Soul's early Summoner would probably be a better reference point.

You're a DPS, but you also have team healing and support elements baked into your kit.

My own personal take is that SE need to:

A) Hire more job design staff urgently or at the very least take on someone like Mythic in a consultancy level and effectively buy whiteboards of design ideas from them

and then B) Go play Warhammer Online's community server coupled with some SWOTR.

Both did an incredible job with their healers, Warrior Priest might be the most enjoyable healer in any MMO ever in my book, whilst SWOTR also did an excellent job of delivering varied and engaging healers that weren't dependent on unga bunga aoes to have something to do.

There are dedicated healer Now. I play geal tempest and heal firebrand. The thing about gw2's healer is that.. Your buff to your team is too effective. Like, a dps's damage output can triple if your healer can properly maintain all the relevant buff, and as a healer, you need to maintain all these buffs after handling mechanics. I am not sure if that's exactly the best idea. I had fun, So l am okay with that system. Makes me feel important that my buff can triple my team's damage output. Also, there is another thing. Some old encounters in gw2 has tanks. And usually tank is also the healer. That can really keep you busy. It was a lot of hardcore fun tanking deimos And soulless horror.
