Useless Healer

Why do they need to know what they’re doing? Self heals will be so strong that healers will be obsolete :P

Is the only content you run vet trials? if yes then ok main a healer but for ALL other content a healer is simply not required.

Tell that to the PUG I was running vet Frostvault yesterday. They wouldn't have gone far without heals.

PUG dlc vet content in 2019...… no thanks

can we pug..still need vMoL ...i only do 30k dps...can't make the 35k requirement as of now but... i can res u with full health...think about that!!

you can PUG all you want for VET content, its just I don't like playing this game to get frustrated but if pulling your hair out and wasting your time is your thing then sweet, GOOOOOOOOOOO for it!

Although these last few weeks of summer have been pretty bad (but I guess it's a mix of new clueless player influx and decent players being on vacation or —I hope not— simply gone) people really exaggerate the state of PUGging. Yes you will end in terribad groups but this is not the rule, the large majority of groups will get it done with no issue. I have no death in plenty of vet DLCs and that was through PUGs.

If you'd tried healing on PTS, you'd find it's actually easier to manage now. The changes move healers away from spamming balls and springs until your hand seizes up from an RSI.

Yeah, if all you know how to do is spam springs, this is a dark day for you. If you understand how to actually play the role, it's a significant improvement across the board.

This is a flawed comment, and makes little sense in the bigger picture. There are fights where your group is spread out, tank on one side, dds on other side, doing mechanics or simply spreading to stay away from the ridiculous amount of rng AoE effects on the ground. GL with only 1 orb

This. Being able to spam orbs and in certain directions as a DK healer made up for their tremendous lack of group and single target healing. I used to play as a DOT healer thanks to orbs. This change however pretty much kills my DK ever being a healer again.

Thanks. TY Zenimax for your 'diversity'.

Dunno, got mixed feeling about that after doing many test on PTS.
DPS will have to self heal when needed ofc, but they will still need a dedicated healer in the heal-check area.
But yeah, outside of these area I don't know why I would come as healer since I'll just slow down the group.

Yep.

That's been my experience.

What everybody is whining about is trying to shoehorn the current meta into the new reality. Yeah...that definitely doesn't go very well.

But, if you embrace the changes for what they are, you discover that the sky is not, in fact, falling.

PLUS, people are very, very bad at reading comprehension and understanding context.

ZOS is not done with the balance passes.

The first one was racial passives.

This patch, it's combat.

They haven't actually truly audited classes yet.

Take a deep breath.

It'll be okay.

Or even worse.

Feels like they bring back Skyrim: mouse left, mouse right, ulti button.
