I was wondering about something like a buff that a healer could put on their group, which would slightly amplify the damage output of a player whenever their health was at max and have this increase in damage count as the healers damage to the boss. That would give a raid healer a little more to do in keeping the raid topped off, plus the work a healer did towards this would translate to the dps meters.

I think the #1 reason I retired the healer is I didn’t care if certain people died. Why save a 1.5k dps, why even care if they live, at that point you have to way their health bar against the healers mana pool. Nobody should have that much power in the game.

I love the lock, there are so many things I can do to save myself in a run WHILE dps’ing. I think the salvation to healing is giving dps classes more ways to save their own bacon, then giving healing classes a way to dps maybe? just throwing stones into the wind here.

That’s one thing that’s probably the hardest to manage leading raids, knowing what individuals are thinking about their role in raids. Eventually most people are going to want more to do or more responsibilities in raids to feel like they contributed something once they get comfortable. Once people reach that comfort level I guess sometimes it best to throw a little more at them. Not necessarily do a boss in a different way just to make it more difficult but to do it more efficiently, faster.

As an example, two healers on Anub is quite a bit more challenging and definitely made me feel like I accomplished something.
