Healers Controllers or keyboards

That's mainly due to 1.0's limitation to scrolling side to side on the hotbar. It was indeed slower and did not really help with min/maxing. However, in 2.0 gamepad has been optimized to be smoother, faster, and work just as good as kb/mouse, unless the healer themselves just fail. I am in a hardcore FC and I have been using gamepad since 1.0. I did not let the limitations handicap me, and I can tell you that 2.0 gamepad has definitely been optimized for the use of healing.

Sure the controller has been optimized for 2.0 but its still not on par with KB/M. When doing the 24 main raids you will never be able to select targets faster than a KB/M user. I would expect someone from BG to understand that.

Good thing I don't just use a gamepad. For casual people a gamepad is good enough. Clearly for 24 man raids and even extreme versions of end game content it is best to be more prominent and use more than just a gamepad, therefore using a gamepad along with keyboard and mouse will be complex at first, but definitely proactive. FCs want a proactive and reactive healer, not just one nor the other. If a healer is simply reactive then it doesn't matter if they use kb/m or gamepad, because they are limited by their reactions. I always did say kb/m was best, but that does not mean you are limited by the device, as you drive the device up to par with how you see fit.
