I main a healer and while doing damage is nice you are there to heal. A healers damage is not significant enough to cry rivers and post far too numerous threads whining. Good for your boycott , that means i will que faster, also to add if you want to do dps ...roll one.

If I read another "healer should heal" frozen take I will shoot myself.

Hmm, if you'd taken the time to look, you'd know the problem isn't about wanting to 'do more dps'. I suggest, as you yourself are a healer main, you take the time to read over the details of the strike (not boycott, maybe look that up, too). Either way, thanks for your engagement in the thread!

That would be fine and all if there was healing to be done. Most of the time you just hit your ogcd heals to take care of it. It would be a different story if there was enough dmg going out that healers had to also gcd heal but there isn't Its all fine if you just want to spam one button for dmg or just stand there till outgoing dmg hits and you have to hit your ogcd heal but its beyond boring and a lot of healers would like to be doing something. Either give healers more dmg abilities to hit or increase the dmg output so they are, you know, actually healing. I think most would be okay if there was enough dmg going out to make them also have to spend gcd heals.

I am here to heal.... what incoming damage exactly? And if I was there to only heal, and the incoming damage expected that of me, then the time to recover from mistakes would make ultimate look tame, as such there has to be some downtime allowed within fight design, and with that it needs to be more interesting than Glaroilificosis spam.

Damage has always been a part of a healers kit in this game, even back when we had far more to heal, the simplification sticks out like a sore thumb.

That's actually incorrect, Healers are capable of contributing significant amounts of damage.

For example, it's possible for Healers with good uptime on Damage GCDs to contribute 10-15% of the total damage in a Savage Floor clear, or about 5-8% each.

That is also a conservative estimate, which can trend higher depending on composition, mechanical strategies, and circumstances.

That's a significant amount of total Party Damage, especially considering that there are only 8 players total in a Savage Party.

And that amount of Damage can mean the difference between Enrage or No Enrage, if mistakes occur. And if everyone is playing well, then it came mean skipping entire phases of the encounter.

If you want to "help your Party" or "keep them safe", then ending the Encounter sooner, or preventing more dangerous phases from ever occurring, is certainly one legitimate way to contribute to achieving that.

—————————

However, that is all beside the point, since your secondary statement seems to indicate that you believe that Healers are complaining simply because they literally want to do increased quantities of Damage, numerically.

This indicates a complete and total lack of comprehension of what this thread is about.

In that case, I must ask you — if you are not going to take the time to actually read and understand what Healers's concerns are, then why do you expect anyone here to, in return, care about your own opinion?

So they can bend the knee to healer ego instead, right?

"I would like my Role to actually have a purpose in content, and actually be needed, rather than being entirely-replaced by other Roles's OGCDs.".

"I WILL NEVER BEND MY KNEE TO SUCH EGO"

Another day and more whining.

I am glad that you are now being more honest about the content of your posts here. Self-awareness is the first step to improvement as a person. I would like to offer my complete support for you on this difficult but rewarding journey.

I like when people quote random damage numbers without solid proof of said numbers

The hard reality is that a key thing making Healers obsolete under the current encounter and dungeon design is the over-tuning of Tanks, with Warrior being the most egregious offender. The options are to either push the damage output of normal content such that Tanks cannot sustain themselves and need to rely on Healers, or Tank sustain is pruned.

The latter is the easier change to implement (and can be easily adjusted as more data is collected and analysed) and also avoids risking punishing DPS players with one-hit deaths when either a mechanic hits them or they end up in a situation where they briefly hold enmity.

Anyone who suggests that the healer redundancy problem can be fixed in a vacuum without touching the other roles is exhibiting naivete with regards to how balancing in games works. Any changes to healer kits will not mean much when a Warrior still has 4 GCDs of up to 2400 cure potency in trash pulls on a 25 second CD, and 1,200 cure potency oGCD heal with a 200 potency regen on top of it.

I'll be honest, I'm shocked.

You're telling me they homogenized and gutted the entire role but they can't even balance it?
