Healer as the off tank...

[Selvokaz]

actually it is true if a DPS doesn't DPS right the healer will be higher because healing generate way more aggro but if a DPS does it right you will never be above them unless you overheal

if the tank dies it may be that the dps has gained top enmity because the healer isn't healing anymore, from my experience if the tank dies while I'm dpsing and before I could drop a heal on them or while I was in the processing of healing them with a gcd heal, then it makes sense that the dps gained enmity because I'm not beating them in damage vs damage, but let's say the tank instead dropped tank stance while I was healing them, I'd pull aggro way faster than either tank or dps because that's how enmity works.

You pulled up art of a Golgarith, an armed Priest of the God of Death and Sleep from DSA and went 'let's make healers more like that'. Meaning ultimately no healing, and all the murder and burials.

if you came into the topic and immediately looked at the pretty pictures then I guess you could get to that conclusion, but then you'd be doing yourself a disservice because everyone else before kind of got the jest of what was actually being compared between the two images, Sturdy blonde woman, vs fragile clothe wearing woman who'd be knocked over by a strong wind.

Aren’t you literally describing Paladin?

Absolutely not, and paladin doesn't even come close to it. This isn't a melee redesign, this isn't a be crappy healer redesign, this isn't even a wear-heavy armor redesign, it's simply put an upgrade to the healer experience. Healer is the only role right now that isn't double deeping into either of the other two roles, though the other two roles have heavily dipped into healing.
