One Button Wonder

[Silver-Strider]

If SE is dead set on Healers only having 1 button press for a DoT and a Nuke, could they at least be consistent and give Healers an AoE DoT to go alongside our AoE Nuke as well? Its not as though WHM and SCH didn't have AoE DoTs before and its not as though we aren't already throwing out our single target DoT on trash pulls in dungeons while the tank rounds them up, so what's the harm of giving us that? If they're concerned that we'll try and combine the 2 DoTs in a single target, just do what they did with Thunder for BLM and make it apply the same DoT.

Honestly... I can hear their reasonning behind not adding more DPS spell. Okay.
But for god sake... giving Aero 3 back (or one AOE dot) to every healer (that work in ST of course) is absolutely the very very least I could be asking right now.
And I would not understand saying that this would put stress on anyone.

They could. They could even just give an AoE dot to replace single-target so there aren't extra buttons if that is a genuine concern. It would be less stress because during trash pulls less experienced/less confident healers don't have to tab-dot, tab-dot, tab-dot, tab-dot, tab-dot... (Personally I'm fine with a single target and an AoE target dot on the same bar, just thinking of the complexity concern being cited by SE.)

Add that to the recommended variety for one-button spammables for something that at least has increased utility.
