Just wanna say, I really enjoy healing in this game.

[Leonerdo]

I like the balance of exciting heal checks, DPSing in the background, and occasional bursts. I like how all the healers have unique abilities; although some things feel similar, there's enough differences that I can switch between them to get some extra variety in my dailies/weeklies. And recently, I've been really enjoying the Ultimate challenge in Dragonsong Reprise. I'm glad I'm playing WHM for it, because I've got a lot of quick healing tools, and don't have to manage as much stuff as AST while doing mechanics, so it feels very smooth and powerful.

Anybody else want to share some healer positivity?

I started the game in patch 3.1. I think I started as a healer in 3.2. Been healing ever since. Went through all the changes, never stopped. Still healing to this day and will probably keep doing so.

I don't try to play at top performance 100% of the time nor do I give a crap about optimization. This instantly removes all the issues people keep complaining about, leaving healing fun regardless.

You're amazing. Can I hire you? seriously, it would be amazing to get all of the problems we have just solved with a wave of your hands so dismissively where I work.



Edited as i realize that i could genuinely come off a somewhat angry there- however- if you are happy - fantastic! However- it is the "instantly removes all the issues people keep complaining about'- this has me baffled for the rest of "us"

Healing in this game offers me satisfaction through fantasy, glamour, and generic mmo healer responsibilities.

Can’t say the same from the gameplay aspect though.

[…]Though, I know I know, everyone has self-heal now. It'd still be cool to help the group out with healing.

We can still do though, albeit with less power. Otherwise, I agree with everything you’ve wrote.

It’s always fun to throw out well used Aquaveil on that DNC who got cc’ed. Gives them ample, short window of respite to hopefully dash away from their enemies. Maybe throw in one or two Cure IIs tooto help out from afar.
It’s always satisfying to help out your WAR who’s semi-stunlocking/tanking enemy crowd by plunging in with Seraph Strike, buffing them with damage reduction & throw out well used Cure III.
It always feels great to see Macrocosmos healed decent amount of health in addition to helping or probably even scoring some kills with it in conjunction to their Gravities, cards, and LB.
It always feels awesome to catch that WHM who tried to stun whole group off guard while party is under the effect of Seraph’s Flight as a SCH.
It feels very rewarding to pull out well timed Mesotes to completely annihilate unsuspecting opposing team in CC.

The list goes on. Gosh, all the decisions making…

As an ex-WoW refugee, where I was healer main since release, I enjoy healing in this game sooooo much better. I appreciate how much more relaxed and less stressful the role is compared to other MMO games. Also, how every healing job is viable which is not the case in other MMO's to the point where you wouldn't get picked to do endgame activities.

What's your favourite heal check?

Mine was Kefka part 2, right from the opening bell that fight pulled no punches. Even the door boss dealt some pretty serious pain when he stopped casting for a few moments during the phase transitions.

Probably E12S p2. It wasn't actually that hard, but I was playing AST at the time, and everything seemed to line up well for the AST kit. And the final soft-enrage was brutal (until you had enough DPS to skip it, lol).

Oh, or TEA of course. Lots of varied heal checks in there, multi-hit party-wides, some stacked, some spread apart, three big hits after Wormhole, lots tankbusters and auto-spam in phase 1 and 2.

I think P4S p2 draws a lot of inspiration from E12S p2, the healing requirements during Act IV and Curtain Call are highlights for sure.
