Healers need an overhaul

[MintnHoney]

Last I checked but tanks have to grab aggro and maintain aggro. Damage skills are also a part of some tanks sustain. You can't really compare the two here.

Except that they also provide an example of non-DPS skills being used, in the past, to generate and maintain aggro.
Furthermore, aggro maintenance is a non-issue thanks to the Squeen approved tank stance button, now in 4 flavors of the exact same thing.

A comparison actually can really happen here: Tanks were designed with the idea that their primary role shouldn't require their absolute focus on the one aspect of their gameplay, whereas healers were not.
And so, why is it that healers cannot be designed for the game they're being put into, and yet Tanks and DPS can?

The point is a rotation will always gonna introduce a distraction to some degree, depending on the skill of a player (that's why tunnel vision is a thing). But for a tank/DPS that does not distract from their main directive. A tank will lose nothing if he focus on his combo, a healer tunnel vision on their combo is a risk of someone else dying.

Actually, that's very incorrect.
If a tank tunnel visions on his DPS combo, but forgets to activate tank stance, that means they will very likely not maintain aggro. Furthermore, if they tunnel on their DPS, they could forget to use mitigation abilities. Which, often, in my experience, they do.

If a DPS tunnel visions, they could also forget to use their mitigation tools or self-sustain abilities. If a DPS tunnel visions, they could forget to do mechanics or not get out of AOEs in time and get OHKO'd. Which, often, in my experience, they do.

And yet, these are just "mistakes." And they're allowed to make these mistakes, because "reasons."
Meanwhile, healers are not allowed to make mistakes because "reasons."
