Yoshida: We believe trying to heal as little as possible and DPSing instead isn’t what a Healers role should be, so we adjusted all 3 Healers to be more balanced while keeping their original characteristics alive.
this was from a jp interview pre-shb that got translated and i think most people will agree here that they didn't achieve this at all so now the question is do they keep trying to chase this or embrace what the game is like they did for tanks sadly we wont know until 6.0 is about to come out with the lack of communication healers get so hopefully all these threads we've had complaining get listened to but i doubt it.
good post op i agree with most of it i hope we see any positive change in 6.0.
