It’s funny that they tried to split pure/shield healers into two distinct subcategories and failed pretty spectacularly by giving the pure healers shields and the shield healers a ton of regens/pure heals lol.

Even funnier is the fact there’s very clearly a much more straightforward way to split healers - using a distinction that already exists. Between personal dps healers (White / Sage) and ‘rDPS’ healers (Scholar, Astrologian).

They tried to create a healer dichotomy, failed, then completely ignored the fact they’ve already created an entirely different dichotomy that people can actually make sense of (unless 7.0 gives WHM and Sage a bunch of raid buffs which I highly doubt lol)
