Confusing Things About Healers?

[Wolfsbane706]

Is there anything about healers you find confusing? I'm not referring to the classes, but the healers themselves. What is it about our favorite players that confuses you?

Why did they hype up the 5.0 changes and subsequently keep quiet about them as much as possible since?

[Corbeau]

Mechanics: Why is the fairy so clunky?

Players: Why do some healers never cast DPS spells in dungeons?

[MerlinCross]

Talking to fellow healers; You most your healing is done by OCDs? Really?

Healers talking to me; You actually cast healing spells?

If SE didn't actually reduce the amount of healing downtime during encounters, why did they remove so many non-healing abilities?

[Deceptus]

SE wants healers to heal, yet designs encounters that hit like wet noodles so healers don't have to heal as much.

SE wants healers to heal, yet gets rid of a lot of DoT based gameplay (and move to more direct damage options) that would allow for 1 damage cast and then keep healing.

SE wants healers to heal, yet gives tanks HP recovery methods, DPS recovery methods. If everyone can heal, healers become redundant.

SE thinks SCH is completely overpowered so they essentially delete Selene from existence. She's a re-skin of Eos now.

And then SE and other players wonder why no one wants to heal.

SE wants healers to heal

I don't think this is true.

.....SCH's fairy healing tools via fey blessing or the fey union seems weak. They need to do something to the fairy gauge to make it more...worthwhile.

I get the impression that some folk didn't read the OP.

why do my fellow whm's forget to use dia in eden raids when i seem to be solo healing

Are these new AST's I occasionally see in crystal tower roulette? why did they pick up the job when pretty much all AST's retired when 5.0 hit.

As a followup, SCH's, when did you guys stop wearing your nice hat? I only ever see it in crystal tower sch's now

Why do some healers think even the slightest overhealing is a bad thing? 1 more glare/broil isnt going to make a difference particularly when exdeath casts whitehole and wipes half the party because they were 80002/81016 hp on a farm

can my co healers please explain why they swiftcast raise someone the person who I'm rezzing slowly because they were taking so long
