You DPS when healing isnt needed.
You don’t ignore healing to simply DPS

In a recent post about delves, Blizz nerfed Brann’s tank spec because
The entire point of Tank Brann was so healers could run delves in their healing spec, rather than switching to dps or tank themselves.
Blizz complained that healers were healing instead of dps’ing. That’s the point of this post. OP ran end game content and played the way Blizz has now stated healers should play - DPS and heal. But it doesn’t work like that unless you’re a spec that is supposed to do dps while healing (such as disco priest).
It’s kinda funny, tbh. And petty. Not that OP needs it, but I approve.

Recently healers were expected to DPS and heal but healers didnt like that, they wanted to focus primarily on staying in the back and healing so now the damage profiles are mostly heal, dps a little when you can during windows. Thats how they’ve seemingly balanced this season with nerfing tanks healths, nerfing healer damage and buffing group damage. So your focus is primariliy healing now but if played well you can throw a little dps in.
It’s not by design at the hand of Blizzard, it’s the playerbase making stupid demands to make it easier for THEM, not you…

Tell me you dont play a Healer, without telling me you dont play a Healer. Branns brain damaged muppet AI certainly did NOT allow for ANYONE to "sit AFK " ., while Brann solo’d the delve.,even pre-nerf .He routinely stands in bad mechanics as has been mentioned in innumerable threads as well as a host of other things, he required a lot of attention even pre-nerf.So let’s stop with the BS ,Brann Tank “may” have been strong but he certainly was NOT needing the super ultra mega nerf he recieved. Now, he is more squishy than DPS or even Healy spec Brann- So what then is the point of his existence , or introduction?

Obviously healing requirements will vary but the fact that the OP talks about themselves being kicked and not any of the other healers makes me skeptical that this happened. First because I can’t think of any heroic raid fight where group damage is so low that I expect this to happen and second because the way the OP tells the story, it sounds like none of the other healers had this problem.

Wrong.
Tank Brann was too strong in comparison to other Brann roles with minimal involvement from the player (only healing and nothing else).
They never said they didnt want healers to only heal. They just nerfed Brann to match his roles contributions. You can still sit back and do nothing but heal.

Course not. They had higher healing than the tanks because they had to make up for OPs slack

Honestly, the way the op tells the story, makes it sound like it never happened and its just made up to soap box about the way they’re handling delves atm

I mean… yeah. That’s what I fully expect happened here. It sounds like the OP was deliberately playing stupid to make a point. And when they played stupid games they won stupid prizes. I don’t really have much of an opinion on the Brann nerfs in the context of running as a solo healer - mostly because I’ve never done so either before the nerf or after it. But I don’t think playing like an idiot is making the point the OP thinks they’re making.

Oh it’s definitely a Brann nerf soapbox. But I also think it happened mainly because of the name callout. There’s no reason to do that and risk your soapbox being nuked and I doubt the OP pulled a random name out of thin air. Behaving like this in a PuG group and getting kicked for it isn’t so unbelievable that I doubt it happened.
I am not blaming who is not strong healer.
I was in raid . its bad lag
If you wiped, kick would have been deserved. If you didn’t, then you just point out the dps you’ve done and if that doesn’t sway them, oh well. Another point taken from pugging.
Blizz ain’t running your raid, people are. Do what the people in your raid want.

Ah, yes, i see how this exact quote from the blue post, defending him being curb stomped into the ground, shows they DO want healers to hang back and heal.
I don’t disagree he was over powered, but the amount they nerfed him made him useless to anyone who hasn’t got Brann at 65+. And I’ve seen healers with 67-68 who are also having issues.
That post is 3k people saying he passes out All The Time to simple mobs. He gets one-shot from rares/elites. But pleeeeease keep telling people they’re wrong about Brann and that it’s totally normal for him to be one-shot on tank spec when he can survive as dps or heals without dropping at all.

OP isn’t even complaining they got kicked. They’ve literally said they deserved it. The point isn’t to players, it’s to Blizz who gave a dumb excuse for a decision they made. They could have just said Brann was over powered and needed some nerfs. They didn’t. They blamed healers for healing and then obliterated him for a majority of people.
There are a lot of commenters who have been trolling the healers talking about this. There are people who say it doesn’t affect them so everyone else is just complaining. Honestly, healers are getting absolutely fed up with it.
So while Blizz prob won’t see this or care, and the trolls will be in here doing what they do, I can at the very least understand why OP is annoyed af and would do something like this.
Thanks for clarifying what the OP said then immediately going on a tangent about delves, which has nothing to do with their post.

and people say healing is an easy role.
yes, that’s great and all but ur job is to heal. you should be able to do both, i can.
Don’t worry I got that. I just don’t think the OP is making the point they think they’re making and I don’t think that behaving like an idiot in a PuG raid is likely to persuade Blizzard on their Brann nerfs.
I don’t have much of an opinion on the Brann nerfs as I said before. But if you want to have a conversation about Brann then make the conversation about Brann. I can’t help but notice that Brann’s name doesn’t appear once in either the thread title or the OP.
