Hey guys, the update is great so far, but let's talk about the elephant in the room which is healing. Now let me preface everything I'm about to say by saying this: I used to play summoner and druid fh on 8.2 and although neither was my main, I could comfortably heal the easier activities such as s23, maze and other things. Now, they were both not super great gs and I didn't expect them to heal the harder things, but the easier low level activities they had on lock. Now, 9.0 comes and we'll... We have this. I did hours of research on each healing class, saw what people did on ru and all. Here's what I think about all of the classes:
Priest: completely unviable. Actually worthless no matter what I did, no matter what stat combinations I used, it was impossible to even properly heal myself. And i mean not even close. Maybe with a completely shitty build this should happen but I'm pretty sure the build is within a few rubies of perfect. Now idk why that happens but my guess is just none of the rubies work or the base healing values are too low. And I think they're so low that they need an extra 0 added to all of them lol
Summoner: I think summoner is pretty close to being...not good but like lower border of acceptable. I think if you take out all the self damage the healing will be actually like...lowest level acceptable. Now, obviously that's a terrible idea since I actually really like the mechanic, so i think healing has to go up. Also now that reanimation was gutted, they have no save abilities, so they should really buff back reanimation.
Druid: I actually didn't hate druid. The nerfs hurt pretty bad but I actually like the mist change, the old mist didn't make any sense to me. That being said I think the kit is fine, still very enjoyable to play but healing has to be buffed a tiny bit.

What do you guys think of healers? Should it be a thing that only top players can do? How should the healers be buffed? Should some of the mechanics be changed?

Quoted from "Xrade19"

Do not understant, as enginner with full 7 runes i was able to heal and shield team in s1
team had 1 tank full 8 runes(paladin), and 4 dps + me
We was able to complate s1 with not problem, only some boss with aoe attacks was problematic so i need use Collosus to shield

offhealing support can give you many benefits now, so don't think your alone, 40-50% work do now support

As engineer support i can :
aoe offhealing+insta dbuffing evry 20-30s
60% dodge for group for 6s
make shield for 30-50% hp of all teammates
Decrest your global cd from 2s->1s
give 450 bloodlost (5% healing from dmg you did)
incrst dmg of pt for 10s or 150 bloodlost+ vitality
and some another trics

So your not alone now, good support schold make your life eazier, letting you focus only on tank or somone who not dodged aoe hit

You are correct, I think support buffs are very important and supports provide a lot to the party and are almost mandatory. Here's the thing though, we are only at s1 and it doesn't even have compasses. S2 WILL all of various difficulties. That makes me wonder, if you need a fully functional party to do it all now how is it gonna be possible in compasses? On RU servers I literally heard that top tier parties went compasses without healers and just tried to kill the boss as fast as possible. They managed to do it in 10-20 seconds per Boss. This is only done because of how bad the healing is right now and how good the damage is.


Also all of that being said, have you tried healing as a full healer in pvp? With the fury buffs it's practically umpossible to do anything as is, but now there is also alchemy for fury which just puts the nail in the coffin of healers
