Say, different AoE heals that hit different numbers of players, or different AoE healing spells with different HPM and HPS (i.e. the same structure as single target heals in WoW).<br />In my opinion, the only reason why AoE healing is dull is because it is often simply about spamming one or two abilities.<br /><br />The same problem affects AoE damage: it lacks a lot of depth when compared to single target rotations. The main difference is that a DPS only needs to hit the boss most of the time, while healers have a whole raid to heal -- AoE healing is fundamentally more natural (than AoE damage) because of this.Xicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324437457396385351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-47150299095151753022013-07-22T01:36:13.078-07:002013-07-22T01:36:13.078-07:00I completely agree with this post, and it's de...I completely agree with this post, and it's definitely something that I've thought about myself many times. Personally I felt that it really started to get problematic in 3.0/Wrath, when they started to make all group heals raid-wide and "smart" and then had to introduce more and more raid damage to keep up with the crazy AoE healing people put out. Fights like Festergut and Blood Queen in ICC were such crazy AoE button mash fests, the whole experience just made me want to cry.<br /><br />That's why I really enjoy healing in SWTOR currently; it harkens back to a simpler time with fewer abilities and more resource management.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-83427587663539030702013-07-21T23:16:01.420-07:002013-07-21T23:16:01.420-07:00I quite like simple healing setups also.
