Ideas for Healer Rework.

[Alice_Rivers]

Then allow me to permablock bad healers (and tanks) I get in DF. There would be little reason to play tank then and healer would be the only deciding role.

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a minority of healers who actually enjoys the stress of healing tanks in normal content who don't seem to know what mits are.

So it would become BIS to not heal as much as possible and high end content would be balanced around it.

And this... This is already the case and what the devs do, hence the week 1/2 healerless clears. I've seen it said that the devs do playtest all the content they put in the game, if that's true then they know just how much healing is/n't required in every duty at the time of introduction. Therefore the only conclusions are that the devs know that the healing requirements are as low as they are and intend that healers should do as little healing as possible (even going so far as to have other party members do it for them with the ever increasing healing kits on non-healer jobs) or they're terrible healers who actually believe that healers do need to spend entire duties focused on healing.

Not alone I sometimes even ask my tanks to not use defensive cooldowns for shits and giggles.

they had said they re-allocated their healer tester because they "got too good"

so I am not sure how much effort whomever they have that "playtests" healers... if they do at all.

which leads me to the suspicion that the healing requirements are low.. because the devs themselves dont use them or play them in testing.

I've read this on the forum too, though I've not seen a source, if it's true then it's utterly insane yet also entirely believable given the state of healing at the moment.

There you go. The infamous "healer got too good so a replacement was requested"-interview. Sometime in 6.1 AFAIR. And by 'too good', they mean "dabbled into EX trials".

Thanks, that really is mad.
