A summary of healer issues

[Morningstar1337]

We can't go into 6.0 without a proper healer focused class designer.

We most likely will however, considering the lead time on the xpac (I presume that the moment the X.1 patch is live the next xpac is already worked on, the Covid delay gave them more time, yes but msot ofit was likely due to getting things back on track and making working from home feasable). The window of opportunity is shrinking and I kinda doubt they can get healer-dedicated staff until 7.0 unless they had already proven to get them before the expac reveals.

With that said, you do make a good point on Piety being the worse stat for people that already cleared. I wonder if the devs are gonna change the content (Each clear making the encounter more difficult, like what is being proposed for dungeons ona regular basis)or the Stat itself (as precedented by accuracy being DH)

Sadly this is probably true.

But this would mean we'd get the same healer design going into 6.0 and from there it tends to be set in, they almost never do full role reworks. This would mean the new healer would be a 2 button dps, we'd still have very little to heal but they'd be convinced all we do is heal and would "helpfully" shove buckets of Det and Piety all over our gear sets. Remember we've had 0 communication in the form of "we have been listening to your feedback and plan to address this". The AST changes basically just removed MP as a resource and reduced APM a little. And this is the team starting work on 6.0 at this very moment.

It's quite worrying.
