I do not think people are claiming that, the difference between WoW, SWTOR and FFXIV. Is I do not think SE wants healers to be the point of failure in group content. I do not think they want a single role to be the point of failure when it comes to their core gameplay. Look at tanks, aggro management is a thing of the past, and the moment they have an issue holding aggro they just buff aggro gen.

It appears SE wants the point of failure to be on the group overall and not just one role. Least it seems like that.

I love healing in SWTOR merc healer was a lot of fun, and disc priest and rshammy are also a lot of fun. Also specs come into play cause if you want brain dead healing in WoW or Tor you just went rdruid or sorc.
