    All WOW healers have a more interesting DPS rotation than FF but it's only really relevant at the highest level of content as in high key levels(15 and higher) or mythic raiding.

    Helping dps is appreciated but considering in WOW the damage can be extremely high...Healers heal first and foremost and damage when you can or want. Near all content in WOW isn't tuned for healer damage addition except the last few bosses in a mythic raid where that extra 1-2 percent can be bought by healer dps.

    Or a high enough level key where you build your talent trees with damage in mind but without sacrificing too much of your defensive, ST and AOE healing.

    I mean I don’t think anyone in the strike or this thread in general would oppose WOW’s healing to damage distribution (the bigger problem being it just doesn’t really work with 14’s slow methodical combat)

    Everyone want to heal more but people also acknowledge there is always downtime so something better than broil spam is a good thing

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    Sure and that's the main difference anyway. WOW has plenty of mechanics but it's more damage oriented versus FF where mechanics are king and even "normal" fights can have mechanics that are far more difficult in comparison versus WOW's "normal" fights.
