Healers need an overhaul

[Liam_Harper]

The new savage is pretty engaging, for healers. Lots of heal, lots of mit, lots of mechanic to solve. But Healer pop take a deep.

Face it: "we want it to be more engaging", "we want it to be more cool" are nothing but window dressing excuses for people who want nothing more but to play a green DPS with big fat numbers. In short, the majority of healers complain stem from the group of people who subconsciously don't want to play traditional healers to begin with, period. I enjoy the healing of this tier, but I can tell I'm in the minority. You said Yoshi's comment is so disingenuous it's unreal ... well, I have the same impression on the comments made by community.

Absolute nonsense.

I'm definitely a green dps and I've had zero issues healing this tier. The fights are fairly easy, except p8s part 2 which I think is great. I'm optimizing every oGCD and when I need to GCD heal I will. Basically what I do in any raid fight, utilize my full toolkit.

"Traditional healers" have been quitting non-stop because they didn't want real damage. What they really wanted was to be able to blindly spam GCD heals and be given the illusion they're great players because no one died. That's not working any more. They need to plan their tools, deal damage, use their full toolkit and actually contribute to the team and they hate it.

The green dps are doing just fine, thanks.

So am I. Your point being? The difference, I'm a green DPS because that's what the game want me to be, that's not what I like to be.

and I've had zero issues healing this tier.

Neither do I. Your point being?

And you get that from ... ?

As oppose to greedy healers who let people dye on their watch? Is this what people call gaslighting?

The green dps are doing just fine, thanks.

Eh what you gonna call the people who claim they are fine yet constantly complaining? I have some idea but saying the words probably gonna earn me a forum ban ... so I won't.

Also ... so fine that in a tier that finally have some heavy healing, the population of healers just drop off a cliff? Like ... my dude. I have 4 chars, I main a healer for my static, and play a range, a melee and a caster in PF. That was the plan at the beginning of the tier at least, but now I basically had converted all 4 into healers because I don't want to seat for hours in PF waiting for healer to show up. Like ... I love P7 and P8, make me feel alive as a healers, but I can also understand why a lot of people don't want to heal it.
