A summary of healer issues

[Absurdity]

I'm not the best healer, but in a green parse Diamond EX I looked at my GCD usage. 95%+ of my GCD's were DPS as SCH with only 6 GCD heals used with over 100 DPS casts (one healing GCD at start to deploy Adlo) and had only 14% over heal. That tells me from the interviews I guess I'm supposed to switch to Sage even though I'm nowhere near top tier.

Basically yes. From how Yoshi-P explained their reasoning for the EW healer changes, or lack thereof, ANY healer that isn't a GCD heal spamming curebot, who has 90% of their attention fixated on watching Netflix, should just play Sage...or as they would probably call them: "the elite healers"

When I looked the paladin toolkit (the only tank i've looked tbh) I was really surprised to see such amount of healing. Seems over-the-top to me, unless they really push the damage (which... historically we know that it doesn't usually happen). I can maybe see more 8man content being made with just one healer.

It's not just PLD. Warrior gets even more selfheal than it currently has (and more consistent healing through Nascent Flash/Bloodwhetting in bossfights), another 1000 potency on Equilibrium in the form of a regen, a 400 potency heal on Shake it Off, 20% mitigation on their Nascent Flash replacement.

GnB gets 2 charges of their HoT (Aurora) and ~28% mitigation for 4 seconds every 25 seconds with an added 800-850 potency heal should they drop below 50% (Heart of Corundum).

DrK is pretty much the only tank that got the absolute shortest end of the stick, all other tanks either got a ridiculous amount of extra mitigation, selfheal or both.
