Point of failure was never on just one role, though. Enrages exist and sheer time-efficiency still exist, the risk and/or reward from which all but healers engage with decently. Tanks can still live or die, and of course cost their party dps, through failure to mitigate sufficiently.

Why should other roles be allowed engagement even when its potential failure points (e.g., mitigation, enrage) aren't pushed to their limits while healer alone should not only have little to no other means of engagement but also not be allowed any significant test of its unique potential failure points?



Not surprised that cat-weaving / moon-weaving was left out despite absolutely being a "healer's" job there (at least) as much as here.

Sorry yes point of failure is not just one one role, but for the most part other roles are easier to recover from or at the very least have the perception that is easier to recover from. I mean while it may not be as common as it was years ago we still have people suffering from tank anxiety due to not wanting to feel like the leader of the group, or don't wish to do W2W because they find it stressful. Still run into healers that don't wish to heal W2W or even want to damage because they are afraid they will miss out on a heal and let the tank die. These are still concerns that are echoed in the game.

Should other roles get a sense of engagement with healers are left holding a bag because SE cannot figure out how to give them something to do that does not take their attention away from healing? No, but that is where we are.

Also if we are being honest and truly honest no cat weaving / moon weaving are not exactly required or even needed for general content. Even with Rshammy which has probably the most intuitive DPS rotation and healing kit their damage or even interrupts are not required for general content. Isn't that for the most part what we are talking about? Maybe I am just a bad healer but I still find savage and ultimate fights engaging as a healer at least when doing prog. Sure once the fight is mapped out it is a different story but that has more to do with fight design rather then healers themselves.
