    Although I think the dps could have a little more responsibility (I proposed it myself some time ago, with conflicting opinions) I don't think someone chooses to play a DPS class to avoid responsibility, but rather because everyone wants to be a striker and no one wants to be a goalkeeper.

    In short, it is an unsolvable "trinity" problem.
    So if there is only a few goalkeepers and many strikers but the strikers only want to play strikers what’s the point of changing the goalkeeper position to better suit the strikers at the expense of the people who like being a goalkeeper when the strikers have fully said they don’t want to be goalkeepers

    It's a fundamental design issue I never encountered in any of the other MMOs I've played and one that's easily remedied by giving them more offensive abilities and/or changing how damage is structured in the average encounter so they actually need to use their GCD healing buttons outside of emergencies.
    This is the striker asking the goalkeeper to be a striker.

    I have 10,000 needles,
    I'm not a weaver,
    and I'm not scared to use them.

    I mean yoshi p has explicitly said on many occasions they are designing healers to hope DPS players play them as well, ask long term dedicated healer mains and I doubt you’ll find many who prefer the modern slop over the old healers

    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

    Ok, but where is the meat, because this is chewing the fat. If/when there is something to discuss we'll discuss.
