    If we're talking about long cinematics, you'll likely have your Draw off cooldown, so you can just reapply a defensive buff as soon as you regain control. The whole Time Dilation concept is there so that you aren't restricted from using your DPS buff/heals for 15 seconds after any given card falls off since Draw is a 30 second CD.

    The slowed DPS barrier idea was kind of a sudden thought to address the issue you brought up. Honestly, Id want to just toss in the effect as-is to the private server and just experiment with how it impacts various attacks and circumstances. I imagine each instance of damage would be converted to a different 9 second DoT. Perhaps the effect itself is even shorter, say 5 seconds or so, that way you're not accumulating a laundry list of DoTs. I imagine though that as long as you could survive the initial attack without the barrier, you should be able to survive the entire DoT even without healing. it's only when you're mitigating attacks that would otherwise be lethal that you need that additional healing, not that you wouldn't set up regens and/or barriers anyway.

    Exceptional write up, but guess what, SE isnt going to f***ing respond. They dont respond to Monks, Dark Knights, or Bards; they DEFINITELY wont respond to us.

    Anyone remember the original ShB livestream? They spent 2 hours talking about Dps, like 30 minutes on Tanks, and a SINGLE SLIDE on Healers, and at the bottom it said "Healers damage skills are being reconsidered" they legit SKIPPED IT. When the stream called them out on it, they said "Uh we had difficulties with that slide, so we moved on, we didnt skip it." But then never returned to the topic of conversation, and f***ing haven't since.

    Any questions that have been asked for Live Letters have been flat out ignored or completely dismissed, and when they feel like answering it, it was "Sucks for you, moving on?"

    If 6.0 comes and it's more of the same, it's going to completely DESTROY the healing community, and people will legit leave the game over it and stop playing. Theyve artificially changed the "In Need" to Tanks so they cant be seen having our point proven. Even when it says Tank in Need, you sit and wait for 5 to 10 minutes, Healer - INSTANT QUE. It's obvious they dont care, and have no intention of saying anything, Yoshi P will be stepping down after ShB, so it's not his problem anymore, out of sight out of mind.

    We're not supposed to notice the queue "irregularities"

    But yeah, I haven't had to wait more than 3 seconds queuing as a healer, even though a vast majority of the time, 'tank' is the role-in-need. (And honestly if it wasn't for sometimes simply wanting to play without waiting, I probably wouldn't load healer at all. DPS classes are way more enjoyable in the game's current state.)
