    Genuine question - I have no idea how FFlogs works. Does it gather data from every single person playing the game, just those who have FFlogs installed, anyone in a party with someone who has FFlogs installed?
    Think about it this way, almost all the healers heal exclusively these days with AOE heals (the shield healers especially) so every heal they use is healing everyone even though they only mean to heal the tank (this is why WHM is a little lower than the other 3 because it often uses solace over rapture). Meanwhile the tanks healing is mostly focused on themselves with the exception of like shake it off

    So since say SCH is at 80 and WAR is at 60 but SCH is AOE healing whole WAR is single target healing this indicates WAR is healing itself over 3 times as much as the healer is healing them. Or in other words in terms of single target healing on themself the tank is stronger than the healer on that front. That is the problem with what those logs are saying

    As for your general question those are posted logs so if one person has ACT running and posts it it will show all 4 players performance but people do rarely post dungeon logs

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    sry, only a vast, vast infinitesimally small minority uses ACT so any data from that tiny, vocal minority should be discarded.
