What dungeon and what key? If its a 20, yeah, it’s going to be a while since we are on week 3, but give it some time. If it’s a 16 or below, I haven’t had (m)any issues finding a healer.

Yeah, I don’t know what keys are like in the 20s, but Ive not had to wait more than 10m to get a few healers to que.

Every once in a while you should delist and reliat though. The top searches are the more recent groups.

It should probably work the other way.

It’s not something Blizz needs to fix, players are toxic to pug healers so healers just queue up with friends/guildies. Find a healer, befriend them, have their back and they’ll have yours.

What level? Were healers signing up but you just didn’t think they were “good enough”?

Asking because I see complaints about lack of healers, yet when I try to get into keys I just get denied, denied, denied. Like right now trying to get into a +14 or a +15 wont happen, nobody wants me lol

Not sure that healers who don’t pug means the content is dead.

That’s not a Blizzard problem that healers don’t want to pug.

They either need to make healing more fun, or easier to play. Its too stressful playing a healer in dragonflight.

Ok,

Help gear my healer up, I came back to DF this patch and have had a very late start. I was 99th percentile or higher all Shadowlands. I will dedicated heal for u if u get me caught up.

But this is what we wanted wasn’t it? We wanted to heal, we shouldn’t have to press our DPS buttons as healers.

We? I never said that once in my entire life.

I know, but the loud minority of the forums wanted it, and healing is in a terrible state atm, the amount of unavoidable constant pulsing AoE damage is not fun, also they said they wanted to reduce the burst damage, they in fact, did not reduce the burst damage.

So… how do you propose to do that actually? Without making healing less engaging than the other 2 roles.

For starters, Blizzard could stop listening to whatever idiot told them their “25% more damage taken” change was a good idea.

I genuinely think mythic 0 dungeons should just become queued content at this point. Heroic dungeons are so undertuned that even against undergeared players all the mobs just kind of fall over. Mythic 0 dungeons are undertuned too, which is why you saw tanks with no gear just steamrolling them around the launch of the expansion. They are essentially indistinguishable apart from the extra mechanics that get introduced in mythic.

I have had people call me elitist for saying this, but I just genuinely don’t understand why there is a distinction between mythic 0 and heroic. Whenever I do either as a healer I end up swapping to a dps spec because I never even have to cast a single healing spell. Neither does anyone in the group. Their passive regen literally outpaces their damage intake. But then I don’t even feel like I’m contributing as a damage dealer, because Balance is a DOT spec, and my dots don’t even get a chance to tick on the enemies that get melted in seconds.

Why do we have FOUR difficulties when the fourth one is the only point where it actually starts to become challenging. It feels like the other three are just there to make people spend more time gearing up their characters, even though you could do everything including M0 in 310 gear.

Let’s look at how this works. What are the demographics?

  1. Top players. They always play together. These healers never heal out of their inner circle.
  2. Raiders. They always play with each other. These healers never heal out of their inner circle, including with other guild members who are not raiders.
  3. People who don’t belong to guilds, or people who do but aren’t star raiders. All these people have to pug their own content.

Groups 1 and 2 haven’t increased the number of healers they need or have availble. They aren’t taking multiple healers per group.

So where are the healers? Are all those extra healers you are telling us used to heal pugs but no longer do sitting on their hands, watching netflix while logged in?

If a large demographic doesn’t have enough healers, and the other players do, that doesn’t actually average out to “enough to go around, but they hate you and would rather not play.”

What +? In the 10-16 range they are all around. If your trying 20+, good luck. Most aren’t geared for it.

Also remember tons of people are farming the gob event.
