A summary of healer issues

[KageTokage]

DSR the arguably hardest overall hitting fight in the game at this point requires about 20-25k HPS between the 8 players (of which about 70% comes from the healers)

If you took every healer and had them spend every oGCD they have on CD (if resources share an oGCD use the highest potency one) and spam their GCD AOE heal anytime they have enough mana to and otherwise stand around regening mana then each individual healer can put out near 70k HPS average over the course of the fight

So even if you remove all DPS/tank healing and mitigation you are barely taxing 1/3 of ONE healers theoretical HPS in the highest damage fight in the game

Healer healing strength is completely out of line with the amount of damage done

Gee, I didn't realize it was that bad.

I guess at this point they'd have to do a total rebalancing of the game if they wanted to actually succeed at making healers heal more then they DPS.

I didn't even need to do the math to know that to make healers actually heal more than they DPS they would have to basically turn the game into World of Warcraft in regards to incoming party damage.
Anything less than that is not going to work with the attrition healing model they somehow convinced themselves we have.

No, they can just delete the heal kits and start over with 4-5 GCD heals apiece and 0-1 oGCDs. That's more than enough healing for ARR/HW content because that's already the kit in ARR/HW content so QED, and it's more than enough for new content because new content deals mit checks at half-minute intervals instead of damage.

Labor-intensive content rebalancing is not needed.
