A summary of healer issues

[Sebazy]

I’m of the camp healer numbers are prob higher than they ever have been.

That's genuinely not the case. I could pull 1000 DPS at the start of HW in Neverreap (and got a forum ban for making a guide on how I did it). Even when running with competent raiders, they weren't out DPSing me unless they were on Summoner.

I think they mean player numbers, not damage numbers. >w>

We don't have numbers about that sadly, probably numbers are higher just because the population increased a lot during Shb but I bet not much and in proportion there are less healers than were in the past, proof being how in any satisfaction survey jobs like Sch or Ast were at the bottom how nowadays "Healer in need" is far more frequent than what it was back then or how even in raiding scenes healers are on high demand due to how little there are (Just checked ERC for example and 10 out of the 17 most recent statics lfm are looking for healers, the closest second is melee dps with 5 out of 17)

That’s what I get for post midnight posting

On that angle though, at least from the admittedly limited data set of Entropy, burn out amongst top end old veteran healers has never been higher =\

Not even just the top tier, experienced healers. It feels like in the interviews they are trying to push us all to Sage.
