Dawntrail Healers need a rework

[Katish]

No, I don't think anyone wants a flat % increase to every raidwide, unless they want WHM to be out entirely. I'm just pointing out that what SE thinks increasing healing required means is far from ideal, with the side effect of making double shield healer an appealing choice.

What is an acceptable solution would be increased frequency to increase pressure. What we're lacking right now is something that pressures our healing kit, a single heavy raidwide that overkills us by 10% without mit that has a bleed every minute does not pressure our massive healing kit since we can just burn 2 things on every raidwide since they're so sparse. I think there is a place for these heavy raidwides with bleeds attached, but they also need to have moderate pressure damage throughout the fight. We could also use what we got in Barbariccia EX, she does raidwide chip damage throughout the fight, a slow burn of resources through chip damage would also help regen healers shine because their regen will actually have usage.

I don't think even this is enough for "regen" healers to shine (I assume you mean pure given SGE is technically a regen healer and whm technically is less so in comparison)...even in Barb you can be fine with one healer. I think people praise Barb because it wasn't boring in terms of prog...but outside of prog it falls into the same issues as any other fight.

What pure healers need is the ditch of "pure and shield"...this should never have been a concept as mitigation will always be preferred. What needs to happen is the cull of mitigation skills on dps and tanks to be added back to healers, so all healers have the ability to answer whatever is thrown... and then have healers in down time focus on something that each can specialize in individually as to not be replaceable or comparable to another.
