NGL it's really weird that people are so mad about someone saying "The current role bores me so I'm not going to play it anymore." Healers don't have a reason to use all of their tools for healing outside of the most difficult content, and if you are a baseline level of decent at healing, you'll find yourself spamming one button (plus dot) for the majority of your time playing healer. That's just the state of the game right now. If you're required to use gcd heals after using your off-gcds, you have a lot of people with you who are very bad at the game or are very new.

Frankly, we need encounters in casual content that require healers to heal more. Everything in the current expansion has been excuse mechanics that are recovered by one off gcd heal. The other healer in alliance raids or public raids is honestly just there for the raise insurance; you don't actually need their healing in their kit to clear the content comfortably. Shields are always unnecessary because the devs don't know whether or not you're going to get a shield healer in DF, and everything else is easily fixed with Whispering Dawn or any other type of regen. Shoot, if you don't want to use an off gcd, you can kind of just Medica II through everything in the game.

That being said, while I definitely want to be required to heal more, I also do want a more engaging DPS tools. That's kind of part of the fun of it: mastering a fight to the point where you can output solid damage comfortably while still being able to keep everybody healthy is a really good feeling. I think that feeling is far more rewarding than just constantly healing and doing nothing else. Currently, there is no feeling of accomplishment as a healer because you really don't have to do anything at all to keep everybody alive, and the only other option is to just spam one button for damage. You push one button and then you go back to pushing your other one single button.

I really don't think that asking for a little more complexity is that crazy lol. I feel like the return of Aero III for WHM, Miasma II and Shadowflare(or Bio II) for SCH, and a casted dot to AST (can't remember if combust had a cast time six years ago lol) would be a really good start.

I feel like there's a perception that the people who are complaining want to deal MORE damage, but that's not really the case. We just want to have something that's a little bit more interesting than spamming one button. More damage is not the goal, fun damage is.

If you are a good healer who keeps everyone alive, your reward is to spam one button. That is painfully boring.

I'm not saying I'm part of a strike anything, but I have completely stopped playing healer this expansion because it's become boring. I would love to be able to enjoy healer again.
