Is it wrong to be excited about more healing skills when what I want are more skills to heal with to add innovation and variety to the act and do so more often?

Do you know for a fact that the new build won't do that? It's pretty obvious the Dps with be more boring. 3 vs 7 is pretty blatant. But do you know how the healing will be?

Do you know the extra skills will be just bloat or if they'll help form a new identity for SCH that isn't "That one healer that thinks it's a dps"?

I don't. I know it has more skills though. The number went up. So I have more reason to be hopeful healing will be better than you do for being upset.

People need to face a very simple fact. If the healing is good, healers will stick around. If it sucks, we'll leave it. If the Dps sucks, Dps will leave. But they aren't necessarily the healers.

I'm a healer. I'm waiting for the healing. I'll complain if the healing is bad. But unlike dps, it's not something I can judge just on tooltips and the amount of buttons. All I see is Dps went down and healing went up in terms of numbers of skills. I'm ok with that. I'm encouraged by that.

I was never in it for the attacks. I like attacks. But if that what I was here for I'd play dps. The attacks are things I do when sadly I'm done healing. I don't want to be done. I don't know how best do do it. But when I join a party, I want to be healing. Or I want to be buffing. Or I want to be supporting in someway that is healer centric not dps centric. And anyone that looks at the role of healer, not just SCH, like a dps with enough utility to let it skip ahead in queue, I don't see as a healer.
I think people assume you overheal because as the things goes now you spend more time dpsing than healing since your ogcds are mostly enough, with that in mind its not very logical to want dps to get more simple and boring unless you dont dps that much which usually means you overheal. There's also the case of people who want to heal more and its a respectable complain but thats more up to how the encounters and dungeons are designed than only your healing kit and honestly, in my opinion there's a lot of changes, specially in scholar's kit, that doesnt make any sense and damage the job flavour like eliminate energy drain or reducing the dots.
