Why healing is broken and terrible, and how to fix it...

[Snow_Princess]

Please, ANY of the above would be better than being a green DPS with the lingering paranoia of going OOM. I've hung up my globe for a gun at this point. Idon't even care that MCH is bottom of the barrel on damage parsing because, you know what? The rotation is fun and engaging.

AST is the healer with the least mp problems, unless people are standing in bad while the tank never uses cds, while over pulling undergeared. With Lucid Dreaming and ewer you are fine. I had a really bad Zurvan normal in HW once where after 2 draws, 2 rerolls, after all the dang raises etc, I had to ask the other ast for ewer because I was not getting one. That is an extreme string of bad luck + playing with "bads" Also solo ast should be using shields =/ (you commented on regen)

Most of the healing problems have to do with people standing in bad/ getting cleaved/ dying (maybe make raise cost less mp?) other then that, i do not see much changing needed. I thought this thread would be more about the stat inflation checks to make healing weaker then I feel it should be (least weaker then i270 @ level 60) for 61-69. Why even in max gear for the level, someone healing weaker then a lv 60, i 270, i got no idea.

You basically traded the strongest healer for the weakest DPS (least right now, as of 4.00- 4.05) and least wanted DPS in savage. I am confused

No. It's a memorization game. If you know the fight, you know when busters are coming, when you can and cannot DPS, and how much mana you can get away with.

that is the same for any role, and even much more so for MCH in HW. your DPS suffered HARD unless you knew exactly when to unload wildfire.

For the TC, one more thing, most healing issues has to do with the tank more then anything, meny do not use CDs properly or overpull in low level gear, or even try DPS stance in low level gear. Sometimes it is the DPS as well, if you get 2 bad DPS, with a megapull tank, you are not going to have a fun time. another tip past "git gud" is try become more aware and try spot the problems in the party composition, or ask for smaller pulls.

DRK,BLM,BRD, WHM, AST, 60-70 SB, and 60-70 sam (50-60 leveled in deep/fate and other things) lv 50-60 RDM off and on for trials and 50/60 roulette) not one party had a complaint of too much DPS or too little DPS from the healer (even with the bad ones, some made me cringe a LOT.. how can you go though a FULL DF and never use assize, literally zero DPS UGH! I do not care if no one died, NO COM >.>). AST was my first and it was hard 67+ with people still not getting a full feel with the changes + being min level gear for the places meant harder times as far as healing.
