Not a morning person but going to drag my rear out of bed to watch the live letter. Anyone else going to the same?

Putting any mention of healers on my bingo card.

Throwing my hat into this ring as well. Although I don't do high-end content (mostly a scheduling thing, but partly a social anxiety thing tbh), I consider myself decent enough on SCH. Problem is, the only times I feel like this game is engaging to heal in is when shit goes so far south it hits the south pole, which if you have a halfway decent tank/group, it never does. Was already planning on just going through DT as RDM, but all the tank upgrades I've seen pretty much sealed it for me.

It's actually funny, you get yelled at if you dont contribute dps as a healer.
But at the same time, healers are for heal only? So, am I allowed to ask for a small change in dps rota, or not?
Am I allowed to ask for more incoming damage, so I can heal more then? No? Why?
Isn't savage all about DPS checks? What's with all the disagreement?

I'm not sure why I came back here to the forums but it still makes me so sad to see people making fun of genuine complaints and people that simply just care about the game.

If you see me around again tell me to just leave these forums are horrible for my mental health.

It's tiring, and this strike is honestly a long time coming, I'm surprised it didn't happen mid-late ShB. I just want old SCH back; a handful of DoTs and Bane, is that really so much to ask?

I think it didn't happen in ShB because the dev team was still very communicative at the time and haven't totally destroyed any jobs yet, the healer role and MCH were their first victims.

People still had trust and were willing to wait and see the developers rebuild from a new foundation.

They managed to lose a lot of that trust in EW so DT was simply the breaking point for a lot of people while others broke during EW.

Schrödinger's healer strike:
Before DT launches, healer strike is
simultaneously

A) a disruptive event that impacts the player base and may incite chaos

B) a futile attempt that has absolutely zero impact on Duty Finder queues because the vast majority of people are more than happy to pick up the healer mantle and take our place.

It's pointless when they have normal queue times, it's disruptive when their queue time is 1 minute longer than usual.

The strike is very flexible in that way.
