THANK YOU for making Healers actual Healers again!

[Scura]

I just want to say Thank You Yoshi P and Crew for recognizing that when someone chooses to play a healer they want to heal not focus on dps. I never thought this would happen and has made me extremely excited for healing in Shadowbringers.

You know they are not actually removing DPS from the healers, there will still be downtime no doubt when healing is not required.

[Ilenya]

Most of us want something engaging. If they don't up the damage to match the increase in heals, and adjust our DPS in a way that makes it even more boring (There are rumors about removing DoTs), that doesn't help anyone. It makes healing boring. If standing around waiting for people to get hurt enough to bother healing is fun for you, more power to you, but I want to be able to actually do things between the required healing times.

[HyoMinPark]

Unless they actually improve the amount of outgoing damage in fights, healers are going to be pretty boring if they completely neuter our damage. I’m not a fan of standing around waiting for someone to take damage so I can actually participate in content.

[Nuna]

That's not what pure healer means OP.

[Fawkes]

But what they said doesn't really make sense if AST and SCH still have their unique toys, WHM was the 'pure healer' because it didn't have anything but big heal energy.

[Urthdigger]

I too want to see how few buttons I can press to get carried through content.

You should look at healer DPS as a reward for healing well rather than some repugnant thing that's forced onto you

[Risvertasashi]

Don't count your chickens before they've hatched.

We don't know what "pure healer" focus means to SE yet.

[Selova]

The only reason for them to put more emphasis on pure healing is if they are re-designing how damage is dished out. If it's still the same old model, healers will still be weaving dps skills during healing downtime.
