They have already ruined PCT as it is. It’s definitely not a paradigm of job design, it was just another in the long line of accidents square accidentally made funI happen to appreciate the well-intended variety. It's the Jam thumbdrop cookie of critique.
Anyways to keep things more productive on healing and less about my cookie analogies.
I'm curious and have been speculating that Pictomancer as a kind of benchmark for what future 8.0 design. As I can't imagine they'd make Pictomancer the way it is just to drastically change it the next expansion. Of course that has happened before... to many... many jobs.
I wonder what a mobile world for casting looks like far as healers are concerned.
The reason I brought it up is that in a world of mobile casting spells for healers can be more versatile and if they are more versatile ... you could be damaging on the move but also... healing more on the move.
Free-er movement would make traditional mechanics dodging trivial which could inject more outgoing damage as part of encounter design.
That be pretty interesting.
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
