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

Again, the intrinsic problem with healing is that experience and practice rewards you with an awful gameplay loop.

I think it goes further. Healing itself is counter-intuitive, with GCD healing being undesirable in any situation outside of emergencies or having to survive big incoming damage as a shield healer, when its the opposite in pretty much any other game. And due to the way makros are shit in this game, healing is just clunky for Keyboard and Mouse.

Too right. Healing would become 500x more engaging already if half of the oGCDS were purged and the other half put on a longer cooldown. I'm okay with macros in general being unwieldy, but mouseover actions is definitely something this game should improve.

To be honest? I won't. With how low healing requirements are and how lacking the dps toolkits of all healers are, especially lacking much synergy with their toolkit for the most part, weaving most of my heals inbetween dps casts and having to manage my ogcd cooldowns is the one fun thing the game has going for in terms of healers. The GCD heal just are not exciting in this game.

I'll gladly sacrifice those oGCD heals for a better dps toolkit. Healing requirements will never be demanding so long as every instance of damage is predictable.
