So ya, I don't really have any sympathy for people playing healers and complaining about not having more damaging skills. You're a healer, your job is to heal.

edit because this forum has an idiotic daily post limit:



I don't agree with tanks having a stupid amount of self healing either. They should have strong damage mitigation to deal with cleaves\tank busters\big pulls and what not and yes I also agree that there should be more outgoing damage in certain content. I'm sorry that you think the argument is so one dimensional and your only retort is to call people "simps."
I have never played a healer in ANY MMO ever that spammed a single DPS skill more than 100 times in a dungeon, representing at least 70% of the skills used.

i have never played a healer in ANY MMO , even in a pure healing spec, where i was limited to only 2 DPS skills or three DPS skills- I didn't have many in that spec , but i would have a couple more, and with classes that had almost no self-heals.

I'm not asking for sympathy from you, it really doesn't sound like you know anything about healing ,based upon my experience it doesn't fit any game I have played within the past twenty years.
