I certainly didn't feel myself that healing was getting boring until Subterrane dropped. Been healing since ARR.
EW was braindead on execution for everyone (ie the game functionally has no failstates anymore) but DPS and tanks still had the inherent fun design of their DPS kit and not having another role do their main job in casual content. Healers had literally nothing in EW and this was after the negative reactions to the ShB changes to the SB kits, so they’ve had feedback to work with for healers for years now

The avoidable damage DOT’s in normal are good but they will be outscaled by tomorrow when the crafted gear drops. SGE got literally a single oGCD nuke per 60 seconds so I’m not sure where that counts as DPS options, the AOE DOT doesn’t even stack so it adds near nothing
