    4-8 GCD’s of actionable downtime is functionally full uptime for the purposes of comparing them to casters that spend 50+% of their time casting

    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

    That's news to me. So, losing up to 1 Wyrmwind usage and screwing up my burst by losing GCD alignment because I can't get some of those GCDs is fine then. Multiple Chaotic Spring ticks? Pfft, screw 'em as well, lol.

    At the same time the only caster that can possibly lose some uptime is RDM. And, what a surprise, its damage isn't that big either.
