The tanks get all the incentives in the form of mounts (unicorn withstanding)

It just seems wrong that every expansion can almost guarantee a new DPS and tanks and healers have to fight for the scraps. It is roughly 5 years since we've gotten a new healer, will be 7-9 before we are even considered again (next expansion). That hurts.

We were told in 4.0 we wouldn't get a new healer (and tank) because they had to balance what they had

And they did a terrible job of it. SCH MP rates were ridiculous (at 4.0). WHM Lilies are still to this day a joke. It just really seems like the developers have no idea on what to do with healers.



Take a look at WoW and it's 6 different types of healers. If you're netcode wasn't S#!T and could actually handle channel based heals you might be able to have a different heal style.

Rift has a Chloromancer that heals the group by doing damage.

SWTOR had a medic that shot people to heal them.



Where's the creativity?

Why does SE cater so much to DPS?

If it had been a Healer instead of a tank, the tanks would be reacting the exact same way the healers are now.


I played SWTOR for a few years, and yes it was the Operative that could heal by "shooting" and using tecnology. It was actually for a while the OP healer at the time. theres lots of things that can be done. Im still hoping for a reveal of a new healer
