So sick of 1-button spam I'm not even looking forward to the expansion...

Anyone feel me on that? Anyone sick to tears of casting: Broil, dot, broil, broil, heal-type spell, broil, broil, broil, heal-type spell, broil, dot, broil...endlessly?

[Silver-Strider]

Feel the same

I feel you brother. The only saving grace is the hope that healers get a rework mid-expansion(not happening) or that they FINALLY listen and change stuff for the better in 7.0(not happening because apparently pressing 21111111111 is too hard for the average healer.)

I can only hope the upcoming shift of players towards Sage teaches SE how the design of other healers pale in comparison to it. When Sages outnumber them 10 to 1 throughout the entirety of the expansion maybe that will force their hand.

In all likelihood WHM will remain the most popular healer simply because it is the easiest to learn*... I would expect SGE to outnumber SCH by a good margin though.

* Note: This does not mean I think WHM is the 'best' healer, design or other wise; but when the duty finder forces 1/4 of the party to be healers, the majority of people are going to pick the easy option.

Edit: Also, +1 to the OP, the second I got my healers to 80 (which was only the other day :/) I stopped playing them and have no intention of picking them up again any time soon... I will probably check out SGE in EW, but I don't have high hopes. Oh, and this has nothing to do with not liking healing; I practically mained WHM in HW and SCH in SB, and have been a Holy Priest (healer) in WoW Classic since week one.

This seems overly reductive.

WHM is my main healer because it has the strongest Final Fantasy lore and class feel, not because it is less mechanically demanding.

I've also done other healers and the mechanical difficulty differences between them are negligible compared to any DPS role. It's like saying that the Power Wheels corvette is faster than the Power Wheels jeep.

In fairness shouldn't you be weaving your heals with Ruin?
I actually find that to be fun on SCH.

Yeah, Sage is clearly the solution. Dosis spam, but lasers!

Pretty lights, me likes.

this is utterly the biggest issue with the game. their overreliance on "pretty particles" negating and often juxtaposing what your really doing which is often the one button spam or a gcd or in SMN EW case both

So sick of it I quit healing in 5.1 and ambled between dnc and rdm for anything close to a main


I'll be honest, EW is the expansion I have the least hype for. I cant stand either antangonist and then when the job trailer came out yoshida started by saying they were continuing shb style changes of homogenisation and destroying identities and playstyles instead of going back to HW or SB styles of being distinct and fun I wrote off many jobs being improved

Sage will either get its potency adjustments to stop it being a 1 note dps, or it wont and I will write off all the healers again (except for BLU) Depending on the msq, it might be my last msq.

If it does get made into a proper healer and not a Dosis spammer, I'll main sage since that thing is going to be the only fun healer.
