The death of savage raiding and SE's lack of action

And this here is the problem with the healer role.

You say the only way to bring more healers into PF is to reduce their responsibilities, but the people who chose to play healer have chosen to accept those responsibilities, and taking away responsibilities from them is unfavourable.

You already said that there's no way to convince a DPS player to pick up healing, so what's the point of catering to the exact opposite of what healers play the role for?

It's precisely the stripping of responsibilities that make veteran healers feel less important and causes them to quit. Yet your idea of fixing any healer shortage is to further increase how useless healers are. Do you not see a problem here?

While I can understand this sentiment, it's not going to matter really at all. If the Healers in question have left the role for what it is, there is nothing that SE can do that is going to convince ALL of those Healers to come back and also NOT affect the current players on the role and make the DEDICATED players of the Healer role in PF upset.
The healers that have already left the role for xyz reason are the minority however.

There is also the hilarious and duality point that people like Xenos made about the Healer strike being ironic and dumb. Healers say they want to "utilize their healing kits more" or "be the only ones with healing" but the moment they introduce a hard hitting mechanic that is an outright heal check and require the use of GCD and oGCD heals, tanks are begged to use Tank LB instead, which is an outright DPS loss overall.

And yeah the exact solution to bringing in Healers is unironically to offload Healer and mitigation responsibilities to other roles, easing the dependency on someone who jumps on the role to actually be that good to play it.

This is literally why more people have jumped into and stayed healing with Arcadion than before. It's almost as if people are surprised that trends exist.
