The majority of players aren’t running 21s. Something being fine for 6% of the playerbase, doesn’t mean it’s fine for the game. Lack of healers in raids, lack of healers in pvp, lack of healers in any M+ below a 20. 0 healers in world content. That’s not sustainable.
The reason people are getting geared out in 3 weeks, at least as a healer, is because there are so few of them that if they are willing and able to bulldoze content, that avenue is available to them.
Trying to gear out a Rogue to 441+ in 3 weeks without having a carry, or a static dungeon group isn’t going to product the same results.
I just think healing sucks and should be easier. Not because I think it’s always hard, but because I think people just don’t get any satisfaction from doing it. Your argument here seems to be that healing is fine, but with the amount of players needing heals through all areas of this game that is just so obviously incorrect that I can’t take you seriously.
Who is this “we” who you say “wants” these things? Most players I see in the game appear to feel they get points for beating some other player to a kill that both could tag.
They want the game to be inscrutable for a new player. They want learning to be obfuscated. They don’t want people to get better, they’d rather complain and blame “people”.
Daarrk you are one of the only WoW players I have seen who actually understands the importance of borrowed power due to stuff like passives progressively making bad players significantly stronger.

More like people who raid will get things done one way or another.

The problem with this is that for healing to be fun, there has to be difficulty. Healing without risk of death is pointless. So places where people don’t die (your bracket) there’s no healers.
Again - it doesn’t matter how long you sit in LFG if you get a healer and they can’t heal the bosses.
You can do enough healing in a +18 regardless of your group. If it’s not a “git gud” situation then I’m not exactly sure what other advice to give because it’s not like you don’t have enough healing to heal thru an 18.
I had a blast healing this season. But, I reached my goal and got bored, and now I am doing other things until the next season. But, then I’ll be back to heal again unless they make it a miserable experience.
Then why are there no healers?
Could I be absolutely wrong? Sure.
If I am, the problem still exists. Not enough people are willing to heal and there is a shortage of the role to the point where it is preventing people from doing content. Do you have a suggestion, or are you just here to tell me that my thoughts are invalid?
your thoughts aren’t invalid but there really isn’t much of a healer drought for keys above 20s.
my point is simply that no matter how long you wait in queue the key is dead if the healer can’t heal the bosses.
so how would you exactly fix such an issue? because you seem to be the one with the issue with healing, not me.
do you want to buff all healers to the sun? would that help? i agree that all healers should feel similar to hpal. but that doesn’t make people randomly want to log into a healer and do below 20 keys
there’s really no point in healing keys below 20 because as a healer you can get into 20s the second your even like 420 ilvl so that probably explains the “lack of” healers (even though i don’t see this and i primarily do this key range on my alts)
Well like I said before (you may have missed it, it’s a long thread) a small percentage of players are doing +20s and sometimes things just don’t apply to a small percentage of players. That doesn’t mean it’s not still a problem.
Takes forever to fill a raid group because you always need heals. Takes forever to fill anything below a 20+ because you need healers. There are no healers doing world content because honestly you would be crazy to go do world quests as a healer spec. Solo shuffle and battlegrounds are in DESPERATE need of healers. It’s a problem in every aspect of the game except for the example you pointed out. Please don’t use an exception and state it as the rule.
My problem with healing is that there aren’t enough players doing it. I personally don’t have much problems healing content. I rarely fail a key and when I do, it isn’t because of my heals. That being said, I’m not naive enough to think that just because it isn’t a problem for me, that it isn’t a problem. Maybe it’s not that healing is difficult, but rather it’s just boring? I’m not sure, but what I do know is that I need more people willing to do it if I want to play a spec that isn’t healer. I’m TIRED of healing on every class that can just so I don’t have to wait 20 minutes to get into a group.
i mean how would you make healing less boring then? if you think that’s the issue. like a lot of what you’re saying is great and all but there still really isn’t a solution that you’ve proposed
so u buff healing to make it more appealing? i don’t do world content or pvp so i don’t know anything about that world. but what i do know, is that this will always be an issue unless we get like shadowlands style healing back. where it’s mostly dpsing and little to no healing checks.
for some reason healers play healers and then don’t like having healing checks. some of the most fun healing is on difficult bosses. like third boss HoI where it’s just a patchwerk heal off.
