Healers need an overhaul

Well we disagree on that. And some of the other replies indisputably are personal attacks.

The first response you relied to wasn’t a personal attack. It was merely a statement of fact that wasn’t even directed at you.

Mine, for how I've been playing the game since 2015.

How convenient. I, too, started playing this game in late 2015. So now which one of us is more important? Do you see how you cannot base whose feedback is the most meaningful around playtime? Just because someone has been playing for longer doesn’t mean their feedback with regards to any topic is more important.

I don't know what the "hardcore" players need: I don't have their perspective, and I'll do them the courtesy of not pretending I do. It would be nice if they returned that favor.

This could be turned right back against you. Keep that in mind. It would be nice if a lot of the people on here that argue with healer mains that want something to change would take a step back and really consider why the former group is asking for change in the first place.

It’s not as if all hardcore players don’t do casual content or don’t remember what it was like before they started raiding. “Hardcore” healers asking for more engagement—be it via more healing needed or variety in a damage rotation—are unlikely to affect those playing at a casual level.

I don’t know if you are aware, but even our “hardcore” content suffers from lack of healer engagement. I spend 80% or more of my time casting Dosis III. I have usually anywhere from 100 to 150 or more casts of it depending on the fight kill time. I don’t heal with GCDs. I can basically autopilot. It’s incredibly boring, and it’s disheartening that even tough content cannot be engaging for healers.

Maybe you need to pug more. There's nothing monotonous about running with tanks and/or DPS who don't know their kit, don't know the mechanics, or both. I don't even find it frustrating, because I don't have high expectations for pugging, and certainly don't expect a fast clear.

I really dislike this argument. Why do healers have to go out of their way to find fun and engagement in their role? Do DPS have to do this? What about tanks? Why are healers the only one that get to be bored? Why are healers the only ones who need to go find clown fiesta parties to have fun? Is there a reason we can’t just have fun and be engaged all the time?
