Removing unnecessary buttons (SCH)

I recommend you try playing some more games. Not all of us come from a healer only background. If that is the way you enjoy your healers that's up to you. Personally I have found this healer only thing weird and contrary to most of the RPG's and MMO RPG's I have played in the past 20 years. So to correct your Statement

"That's how healers worked in the old games that YOU played.

Don't lump us all into your experiences. And sorry your bishop was gimp.

old mmos had separate stats for healing power and damage power, you are free to do there hybrid or pure healer like in wow vanilla, but hybrids was never taken to raids or arenas
no1 ever take hybrid priest for raid, every1 wanted pure holy priest there with 100% healing power and 0 damage ...

I’ve never played WoW, so I can’t comment or know what they wanted. But I know in EQ 1&2 if you were not dpsing enough you lost your raid spot, didn’t matter if you could heal the content or not. So again different experiences.

That's a bad example. In Vanilla WoW a Paladin was always a buffbot. Want to tank? NOPE. Also, you would bring a Shadow priest...not as a DPS, but as a mana battery for the real healers(tm). In Vanilla WoW if you wanted to tank...you played a Warrior. The end. Rolled Druid? Tough luck, you're a healer. Paladin? Nope, buffbot. There's a reason that MMOs as a whole (including WoW) moved away from that model...because it sucked.

In fact, let's be frank: 90% of people who think they're nostalgic for WoW Classic aren't....they're nostalgic for early Wrath (specifically pre-dungeon finder)...where you could be a viable hybrid, FYI.
