The best way to make healing fun

Make healers have either the most CC and/or do about 50% the damage of a DPS. So they contribute a LOT more to kills rather than just do the most healing.

If 95% of globals are heals trying to compensate for zug zug PvE rotation players that isn’t fun…

no, this gives them even more responsibility which is already why they arnt fun

this is the way. healers should still be about healing but they need to be shifted more towards ending fights rather than just prolonging them.

nah another bad take

lets hear all the opinions of the ppl playing prot pal dbl dps solo shuffles

that is garb game design

garb game design is letting healer design stagnate for another 20 years instead of adapting with what players actually want

ok im a player and dont want that

i can guarantee most people that play dont want that

or you would see an abundance of people posting here loving accidentally playing with a prot pala in solo shuffle

like i said, bad take

ggs tho champ

Most people dont like healing in general as evident not only by this games entire lifespan, but every other game with a “support” role. Not my opinion just a statistical fact. You can keep the status quo and let it be a role only masochist enjoy or try something different.

Then again youre an unironic classic enjoyer so i get where you come from “champ”

I agree. The issue is that healers ALREADY have too much responsibility. Even an average healer usually has 25+ keybinds, compared to the maybe 10-15 some of the melee DPS have (not counting arena target macros). We are expected to do so much. Trade cooldowns, juke kicks, heal damage, save the idiot who chased behind a pillar, etc.

There is 1 way to improve healing: make it less stressful. The problem is that healers cannot agree on what “less stressful” means.

Fewer keybinds? Less overall DPS? More immunity? More HP? It’s really hard because different players and classes have different sources of stress, but almost all healers agree that our role causes more stress than DPS.

woah crazy

You make it less stressful by removing a portion of their responsibility to keep people alive and give that to individual dps players. DPS is already the easiest role by far which is in part to why its the most popular in WoW and every other game. Embrace the age of self sustainability that fury warriors/dhs/warlocks have for all dps.

You offset this nerf to healer’s ability to heal by increasing offensive capabilities. Some healers dont even have personalized offensive kits in 2023. Restoration shamans have the exact same active rotational damage abilities an Elemental shaman has save 2 (ES/EB, and Icefury if talented) Same goes for pevoker vs devoker, whom the latter only has eternity surge and shattering star if talented.

are you under the impression everyone is a DH or FDK?

Also warrior

No, not everyone, but they are overrepresented.

This is an opinion, and not everyone will agree

Actually I think healers should do as much damage as dps, that way its more fun. Not like dps “champs” will ever go play heals regardless if heals did even MORE dmg then dps. but when healers are most fun is when they can contribute to dmg, which is what a lot of people say about disc, they feel like they are apart of the fight not just panicking until someone dies.

i mean this isnt even true

neither is this

i dont get this lmfao

u people are confusing what u think with what u think other people think

the reason healers are not played is because they are not fun and it feels like you have low impact on the game WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING YOUR ROLE, not because u arent doing damage

ppl just making stuff up bc they like killing bosses on ffxiv lmfao

Maybe if you took everything I said and not snippets of what I said it would make sense to you. I’ve played dps and I’ve played healing actually I’ve played every class above 2k and I have a pretty great idea of what is what, you are displaying a 62 paladin with 263 posts, I am gunna ballpark here you are a troll.
