A summary of healer issues

[Renathras]

It was theory crafting about how much impact it would have if we moved from a primarily oGCD healing mindset to a focus on GCDs instead.

I suspect in Extremes it'd likely be more noticeable, but in Experto and 24 man, I genuinely don't think it would change much of anything as the incoming damage just isn't there.

In other words: The thing I pitch all the time would...probably work?

Maybe?

I think you're correct. It would be noticeable (and make harder) the high end content (at least until people hyper overgeared it), but wouldn't affect casual players in casual content. Which...is kind of what we're going for in order to make a working solution, right?

It's not that I don't think it would have the desired effect on casual content, I just don't think it would have much if any effect at all. On higher end content it should streamline things, but I don't think it's going to be an improvement, rather it just addresses the bloat. Personally I think that recent 24 man content is the absolute low of the game for healers, perhaps even more so than soloing. Aglaia is unbearable on WHM for me at this point and Euphrosyne is only marginally better.

24 mans are so swingy.

They're the content I'm most excited to heal blind while having little desire to reclear on healer on it's own merits.
