A summary of healer issues

[Aravell]

Briny Mirror might still be the cleverest healer mechanic in the game, tbh. Such a simple little thing but when it gets combined with crit-autos, or deaths, or any of a dozen of other factors it can cause your pull-by-pull decision-making to vary wildly.

Mechanics that ask you to make role-related decisions are good.

Searing Wind and Briny Mirror were great healer mechanics. Anything that limits you and forces you to think about how to solve it is great.

Sadly we barely see anything like that anymore in modern fights.

Modern healer design is basically "Here, you are now a lightning rod for light party stack mechanics, that is your only role.".

Hey that’s not the only lightning rod we get to be. We also get to be a lightning rod for the DPS complaining about wipes because they don’t understand that their addle is essential to our kit plan and would rather just drift it then blame the healer for underhealing
