I can only hope they roll back the healer simplification for DPS cause this kind of gameplay is why I fell in love with healing in 14 and also why I want to unsubscribe currently.
The fact that their gameplay is far from perfect is exactly my point too. A select few keep bringing up “but it’s too hard.” “I need to focus on healing.” Okay then focus on healing. In that first video where they are not managing their aetherflow, not using cooldowns effectively, dropping DoTs, idling, stopping casting to complain about their tank, etc… they have a Sophia weapon, so clearly they were also able to clear extremes at their skill level.

No hate to that player of course, but HW was when the game was at its hardest, yet a player with a lot of room for improvement could still manage to clear extremes despite having a much larger DPS library and old punishing Cleric Stance. Having DPS actions will not prevent the novice healer from clearing anything.

The only thing that you lose is the ability to parse purple without even trying. Oh no, the tragedy…
