A summary of healer issues

[Deceptus]

Well, I fully support anyone adding questions, my sole concern - and this goes to everyone adding a question, was one that you have already pointed out- that questions can easily get lost after several pages. I don't you if you recall one of our previous live letters, we managed to get one healer post with well over a hundred likes and it was impossible to be ignored, even though it was multiple pages down. It's harder to get that when questions don't focus on a single topic.

Healers issues can't really be boiled down to a simple single topic though, they have multitudes of issues.


Us: There's not enough outgoing damage to justify the amount of heals we do
Yoshi: Go play ultimate.

Us: Our downtime is a single filler spell, we cast it as much as a tank has auto attacks
Yoshi: We don't want healers to feel stressed

Us: It's not fun.
Yoshi: Some people say it is

etc. . . etc. . . etc.


My Question, tried to make it as simple and straightforward as possible:

Healers are consistently in short supply and high demand in almost all content, in higher end content they the the first role dropped in favor of an extra DPS. Many players feel that this is due to their poor job design and job balance.

Moving forward, will you commit to hiring a developer, or having a developer dedicated specifically to work on healers and healers alone to make them better designed.
