    As a DPS main, I've gotta be honest, I've never really understood the healer strike. Until I decided to level WAR. I completely get it now. During MSQ dungeons, playing as WAR makes me not at all appreciate the healers. Why do I need healing if I have the equivalent of WHM's Benediction every 25s? Literally while running dungeons, the only thing that the Healers do is keeping the DPSes alive, and I'm willing to bet I can do that as WAR, too, if I just manage my CDs well. Feels like going through dungeons will be significantly faster if instead of a healer, the team had a RDM or SMN, just in case someone does fall. You guys do desperately need some DPS combos, because as it is, big yikes.

    I Wuk Lamat'd the new Wuk Lamat of the hit MMOWuk-Lamat Wuk Lamat 14: WukLamatTrail very much. It was very Wuk Lamat, and I can not Wuk Lamat to see Wuk Lamat of Wuk Lamat in future Wuk Lamat. *clenches fist*

    A little bit of tangent: to be fair, WAR's self sustenance & boring fillers are only few from many issues the healer roles have. The strike is just a collective effort to get the dev to notice AND not ignore the issues like they've done since for... like what, 5 to 8 years depending on where you draw the line.

    Now that’s unfair and dismissive

    It’s not WHM benediction on a 25 second CD, it’s FOUR WHM benedictions on a 25 second CD

    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

    WAR absolutely can heal the rest of the party too, I once challenged my WAR friend to a no heals run and took it a little more seriously than either of us intended and they did indeed heal the party for me. Pretty much beyond Nascent Flash and Shake it Off, there is no reason for healers to exist.
