tell me what story you find interesting then ? or you just troling ...

Think some of the trolls smelled blood and now are creeping up into the Healer discussions.

But it's a big mistake to think the Healer forums are negative and on-fire because we genuinely hate the game. At least I don't get such vibes from the majority of posters, even in the strongest salt and vitriol critiques of the shitty changes and behavior.

Indeed, if we hated the game, we wouldn't be playing.

If we complain, it's because our favourite classes took a direction we do not enjoy; and we wish to see the devs acknowledge their poor decisions, and decide to change things for the better.
None of that happened yet.

I, for one, was not impressed by the WHM changes, disappointed by the AST, and outright disgusted by the SCH. Not to mention my disappointment to see yet another DPS instead of a much needed healer.
An expansion is supposed to get us all hyped, but ShB failed immensely regarding the healer playerbase. The amount of healer threads on this forum is a good indicator of the general reception.

I post here because I want to love my role, but ShB makes me hate it with a passion.
I want to do more than pressing the same button over and over on every single fight in the game no matter the level.

ok you may hate your healer role I get it, but story and lore is diffrent thing from gameplay and classes status
you know there are some ppls who sub only for 30 days just for story and later don't do any eng game content

Like I said before for me Shb story and music is strong 10/10 ...

Yup, the expansion has been amazing. Except when it comes to healers and feedback.

I am going to quit healing, see if I can have fun with other classes, and if I don't then I'll just come back for the story before 6.0 comes. IF 6.0 doesn't further dumb healers down, that is.
I don't have ANY hopes to see them fix their mistakes and begin actually listening to the crazy amount of healer feedback there is. I'll keep an eye on patch notes, but as long as healer gameplay is "spam 1 and heal sometimes when it's necessary" then I am not going back.

I started playing in 4.0, so I wasn't really aware of how much WHM (and healers in general) had lost already. But man, this expansion really opened my eyes.
They managed to remove a spell from a 3-buttons rotation, are we really too dumb to manage two dots at the same time?


What I like to play as is a mix of support and dps, where I can keep people alive while having a decently fun dps kit even if it means I am weaker.
And right before 5.0, I discovered that SCH was exactly that. For the first time I actually enjoyed replaying low level dungeons thanks to all the cool stuff SCH had.
Poof, it's all gone now.

The only two jobs I am interested in right now are RDM and DNC, because I do want to look over my team even if when playing as a dps.
Healers simply don't cut it anymore because I am bored to death in every content that isn't raids. And if I'm paying monthly for a game, I'd like to be entertained.
