Healers need an overhaul

[Raven2014]

Is it really that hard for you to imagine Heavensward? Did you hit your head at some point?

Why do I need to imagine it when I actually played it? In fact, I remember it well enough to say I don't want to see it again. One of the question I used to wonder is "is SE dev obssessed with DoT?". Like back then, almost every classes (save 2?) have a DoT, some has 2 and I was always wonder like ... why? Maintaining 2 DoT isn't my ideal of fun, not on any class, and especially not healer.


And are you people capable of doing discussion without dissing out slight and insult every other response? No wonder why this thread became a massive echo chamber for the most part.

As for Healers, they're in a far worse position in PLD if you look at their kit. If you played Healer and took a minute to figure out what each and every single thing in the role's kits does, you'd see that it's about 90% Healing for nearly all Healers. Their two damage buttons are just a DoT and a generic attack spell. They've been desperate for something new for the role for years.

One last thing before I go, too: Don't act like Healers share that same mindset and generalize it.

Here is what you don't realize: just because you consider that as a problem, doesn't mean I do. And even if two people agree on a problem, doesn't mean they will have the same solution in mind.

The healer kit is powerful, yes, too powerful in fact. But what I want to see is fight that push the limit of that healing kit, not to become a green DPS.

If you are so big-brained to pull out logs and understand them, and fail to understand how a comment is being hyperbolic and merely symbollic of JUST HOW BLOODY BLAND AND POORLY DESIGNED HEALERS ARE, then you all have a problem.

As a healer main since 2.0, especially a WHM main at that up until this expansion, I looked at the post in the last 3-4 pages and just shake my head because for the most part, they're all hyperbolic.

Hyperbolic is justified if it's used sparingly. But when people hyperbolic EVERY SINGLE argument they make then you gonna get called out for being over-dramatic, and deservedly so. You know why something is called "symbolic"? When everything is symbolic then nothing is symbolic anymore.
