Gordias Savage. Where its DPS heavy meta changed the idea of a competent healer from one able to effortlessly keep the party alive to being a 24/7 DPS even if they don't do the DPS part right. I find more and more healers argue that healing comes second, and it doesn't help players who do only heal while doing a superb job at it get noticed or commended. The most frustrating thing is that after all of that, we don't have any more tanks or DPS anymore competent at their damage dealing part than before, and once again, even though fights like A2S is a thing, AoEs are still hard pressed. Even tons of WHMs don't bother with holy (over stone 3 vs multiple enemies) despite running places countless of times.

Heals always come first. Fighting is purely supplementary. This isn't WoW where they actually encourage combat healers by boosting your healing with certain attacks. Cleric stance is just there to make doing things by yourself, such as defending yourself, a lot less dreadful. As if the fact that CS is disabled in PvP, all heavensward healing gear having no accuracy, and mechanics that has no enemy to attack or forces you to save yourself wasn't any indication enough about what's intended and what's not.
