Healers were dpsing long before m+.

Fun times we have! Nah, everything comes down to 1 shotting that mob or boss. Do it.

I agree, let’s.

I agree, you are useless if you can’t 1 shot the boss.

I care about being awesome, but yeah thank ya though.

Ehh it’s tough love but I don’t think mythic+ needs to be removed, it just needs people to stop complaining about healer dps, and other dumb things.

In any key under 20+, no healer ever needs to DPS. If they do, the group actually is that bad.

Yeah, but it was never such a big deal before mythic+. Even challenge modes in MoP healer dps wasn’t anywhere near as big/toxic as it is now.

So the concept that healers should be healbots and not do anything else from pre 2004 is the golden standard people are using for game design.

People wonder why healers are so rare? Because of this insane push against Healers getting to have any kind of playstyle beyond healbot.

That kind of thinking is what results in crap like D&D Clerics getting buffed to the teeth because nobody wants to play the healbot class.

Thanks for being fun in this post most of the people here do not know how to joke around and get so angry over a Game … i have to get to work but Keep being awesome Hope to see around the Forums again

Nah everything comes down to healing through all damage. Do it. I don’t care if it’s enraged. Heal through it.

You’re useless if you can’t heal through all damage.

Actually, it’s because people want to be healbots more than anything and people like you keep trying to push them to do 150% instead of just 100% effort. When they do try it and fail, because beginners often times inevitably do, they stop trying because they get flamed badly by a lot of people with very little patience.

No, lol, it results in other things.

I mean I don’t have anything against healers dpsing, but I feel that in order for that form of concept to be more viable with how blizzard has been pushing for mobs and bosses doing even more damage to players with each expac that comes it feels like they need a real combat system overhaul that isn’t something as basic as talent tree’s. Cause I mean I know in guild wars 2 dpsing as a healer is much smoother, but that game doesn’t use the holy trinity.

Aye, it’s been a Bad Cold Sore after Legion.
When Disc Priests was the start of the healer Dps meta during that expansion.

It’s amazing, Healers can’t defeat their own arguments, so they just repeat the argument I just posed to them back at me as if that’s somehow a win.

If your ONLY job is to heal, why don’t we just bring more DPS to raids? If you can’t solo heal the whole raid, you’re bad.

KEKW K E K W.

You’re seriously going to tell me that pressing a DPS button requires 150%?

you people have brain rot.

In Everquest, every druid I met always thought they were a DPS; constantly DPSing between heals and wondering why they were consistently OOM.

The Clerics and Shamans never did this; it was strictly a druid-thing. For that; I never invited them. (Healer aggro was 10x in EQ and a tank would easily go OOM trying to peel.)

So you’re totally right.

If you want your job to solely be about healing, then remove the ability for healing specs to do damage.

Remove auto-attack, remove wrath, remove it all.

You want to level as a healing spec? Get in a group.

There, problem solved. I never have to die to a healer solo in PVP again and Healers can no longer be expected to do any damage.

Times change.

It’s not toxic to ask players to use their whole kit.

This isn’t an issue and just an excuse. Especially with uhr in rotation and even without mana management isn’t a huge deal to drink a couple times a dungeon.

It’s amazing how bad your arguments are that you can’t turn things around.

If you can’t 1 shot the raid boss then you’re bad. Sorry Lou, we gotta break it to you.

You don’t think there’s more people wanting to be a healbot and do only their job and NOT heal and dps at the same time? Cause from every single pug, every thread, every dungeon I’ve run across from LFR to normal, heroic raid, to mythic 0s up to 15s, there’s a lot more people playing my way than doing damage in the dungeons and when they get complained to by people they usually say things like “screw off”

I’d say that’s actually very true to the majority of healers and also a big reason as to why you don’t see anywhere near as many healers as you do tanks or DPS.

You’re going to tell me that doing both my job AND yours doesn’t account for more than 100% effort? My job is to heal, yours is damage. If I’m doing both, that’s not more than 100% effort? Someone’s very, very bad at math.

Yea I agree. Some healers need a pretty decent damage boost. Mistweavers are in the same boat.
Just because the damage is under tuned doesn’t mean that people shouldn’t be doing damage though.

I wonder why they gave healers buttons that do damage if the healing only Andy’s say you aren’t supposed to press them? It’d be real weird if I told a group I wasn’t going to CC anything or kick because those things don’t do damage and I didn’t roll a damage class to be supportive

Nah jk I know half of these people don’t do any real content and get off on disagreement
