    something wrong with them? not sure.... but perhaps you can figure out why Warrior and Monk need an AOE heal with a regen... because for the life of me... I cannot.

    To replace healers would be my guess. Once all dps have a AOE heal with regen, SE can fulfill their life long dream of balancing healers. Don't need healer balance if you don't need healers.

    if thats where they are going thats fine.. but TELL US.

    its their game, their choices, so I would be okay with that. but its very slimey to lead people on thinking that there is a healer job when they are getting rid of it, which in all honest, seems to be the case.

    They gave Shake aoe healing because of the more frequent multi-hit attacks in Savage where it was objectively inferior to Dark Missionary and Heart of Light, especially with the overabundance of magical based raidwides. Admittedly, they went a little far with it but from a balancing perspective, Shake did need the buff. Keep in mind, Warrior's self sustain is not anywhere near overpowered in Savage.

    Monk is a little more puzzling but I suspect it's to better differentiate the melee. They've seemingly decided Monk should lean more towards utility than selfish like it did in previous expansions. Which is a bit odd given Ninja has become increasingly less utility driven.

    Unfortunately, the problem with giving both jobs even more healing options is how much it encroaching on the healing role that already has very little to actual heal.
