How to easily have healers dps engaged ( yet another thread)

[T-Owl]

I also agree with buffing. I never understand HEALERS that want to DAMAGE. Healing is a support role.

Oh, actually that one is easy. You think you want that, but you really don't. Blizzard tried this model out back during Vanilla WoW with the Holy Paladin. Players hated it and felt miserable being basically nothing but buffbots. Being a pure supporter does sound more fun than it actually is.

I'm not saying it's wrong to do one or the other, I'm just saying you may vastly underestimate how many people DON'T like optimizing things to a T or having detailed "healing CD plans" for encounters and the like; people who don't find any of that fun at all.

So you basically want to be carried while contributing the least compared to other classes, who have to perform more complex rotations while at the same time doing boss mechanics.

Exactly this, healing is more fun the less you know about high end healing because high end healing just shows the healing role is a complete mess, dungeon healing can be somewhat interesting if you get like a quad pull with an undergeared tank or your DPS all stand in stupid but raid healing is just horrid because all you do is spam broil

I feel like these parties are kind of the minority though. In most cases dungeons are basically saying hi at the beginning, wall to wall pulling with no issue or drama outside of the occassional new healer and people if ever dying depending on whether or not they haven't done the content in a long while or not, because how the hell am I supposed to remember how Rabanastre works, that was 4 years ago. I also feel like the issue with Healers is, they get easier as they go and growing closer to the ceiling of near permanent dps uptime is not a matter of skill, its just understanding that your ogcd cooldowns are your basic healing ressource and your casts are your oh shit button, not the other way around. Understanding this makes healing fairly easy.
