    How would a group of people who tend to have and favor far, far more intensity than XIV's healers tend to have access and who equally DPS when able (and may even have heals that specifically require DPSing via a damage kit more complex than ours)... have ruined / dumbed down our offensive capacities???

    The OP is bait that may as well carry its own giant label as such.

    Yes, far more healing is required in WoW, but it's also damn near impossible to avoid non-healing kit -- which is also deeper than is offered here anyways.

    I can't even spread dots on scholar anymore because the devs catered to smooth brains who just wanna see hp go up.
    HP goes up fine without having catered to people who want to have more space for GCD healing. We have far more room for offensive GCDs than we ever had pre-Shadowbringers and yet simultaneously also the greatest relative punishment for missing an filler attack GCD we've ever had.

    The two directions of change (less offensive kit and more punishment for not using it atop less GCD healing being necessary) are not sanely reconcilable.

    Again, ignore the bait. "Princess healers" have been by and large an XIV since 1.x/ARR; no xenophobia is required to explain their presence. More importantly, though, the changes would be nonsensical even if trying to pander to them, as the changes have only obliged healers to be more and more miserly with GCD heals / punished them more for using a good quarter of their kit while shrinking the part that --through its CDs and DoTs-- previously reduced the throughput penalty of using that quarter of the kit.
