Live Letter Response to Current Healer Accuracy Issues

[basketofseals]

If they want to make healers less focused on DPS, then they need to lower the windows where it's possible to dps, not just make it annoying to do so. When I chose to play a healer, I was expecting to heal. I don't really like the squeezing in DPS at every opportunity; HOWEVER, I like standing around even less. I wish more healing was needed in general.

Tanks and dps shouldn't complain about Acc on healers. Healer dps is not needed but it helps. if healers don't dps. Tanks and Dps need to increase there own personal dps by alot and it can be stressfull to the healers

Try to explain this to my daily slackers in my expert runs *sigh*

Just get rid of accuracy. It's not a "fun" stat and only exists to hit the required number and then forget about it.

This would make everyone's lives happier, tbh.

I am commenting here, even though the thread is old, because of the fan fest. I wonder if this was talked about here before? I hear it in the game a LOT

"The accuracy stat is completely useless. Just get rid of it completely and let your item level determine accuracy. There is no reason you should be able to enter say a 230 entry DF, be in 250 + and miss."

Didn't they say at fanfest they are removing acc for healers in 4.0? Idr...but I wanna say they did...

Don't get our hopes up. As happy as any sane person would be with the removal of Accuracy, there are those who believe the illusion of "choice" is worth the frustration.

I want more damage output, but I also want to keep my Cleric Stance. It'll increase the skill cap of the healer role very much. Right now it's painfully easy.

I can't see them increasing healer damage. They've stated before that tanks and healers have higher survivability and therefore deal less damage. As far as accuracy goes, it does seem strange that they'd design content for healers to have time to do damage, but then set the accuracy so high they mostly miss. I don't really have an opinion one way or the other for what should be done with accuracy, it's current purpose seems to be for limiting the amount of other stats you can stack and somewhat gating areas (not just end game content, but if you're leveling and trying to fight higher level mobs than you should be, maybe for challenge log, even if you "could" kill them you mostly miss and end up dying lol)
