I think you just don't understand the point we are trying to make so I will put it simply.
You can HEAL all you want. You do not STOP doing your job just because someone is doing the same thing. You are assuming that in a duo heal setting I would stop doing my job and quite literally afk, that is not what I am saying.
BUT, the problem is, the reason I personally don't like duo heal is because yes, the priest is doing the same thing. The workload either healer has is cut in half, that is common sense. I personally like doing all of the work, that is me. That is why I do not duo heal. If you don't mind the workload being cut in half then that is you and that's great.
The thing you are not understanding is what we mean by a workload. As I said, you do not stop doing your job right? Say you heal or cleanse everyone before the priest, the priest casted the skill but it does not matter because you already healed them to full HP. If the priest healed faster to you, then your heal does not matter because they already healed to full HP. Because of that, the heal or cleanse that the other healer casted simply makes no difference, it does not matter.
I'm not saying "I don't heal or cleanse in a duo heal because a priest is there" of course not. I am saying "The workload is cut in half with duo healer, and I don't like that." and before you try to claim that "work" is someone healing someone with max HP, no it's not.
In a COMPETENT run one healer will always outshine the other because as I have stated in many of my previous posts, only 1 healer is needed. The other healer's usefulness when they are not landing the heals and cleanses is either aura/hurricane or tn/energy stars. It's not that hard...
Also solo healing is exactly like duo healing? If that was the case then this thread wouldn't even be a thing and safe/training runs would be done by solo healer to as "it's the same workload". But it is not. It is very common sense that duo healer takes the work off of both healers.
What this person said summed it up, and you clearly read it so I will emphasize it for you. How are you still not seeing that?
When are we getting a run where we have 4 healers and 1 tank?
Best FIHM I've ever done :^)
4 mystics, 1 tank which was his first clear
Now that this has been beaten to death, I generally prefer solo healing because, as stated many times already, dual heals are boring for me if I am well experienced in the dungeon. Now, since I'm less experienced in, say, RMHM / LKHM, I wouldn't be okay with solo healing. Everything else is cool for me solo. (what you think I can't solo heal HH?)
Helaer wasting their time ressing one another instead of healing the party itself.
Oh god how much I hate this kind of party. makes me feel like I have to do much more dps than usual, for a faster clear cuz healers needs a carry for real.
Now that there's DPS meter, it's much more fulfilling and less time-consuming (b/c I don't have to form groups if I want to have fun) for me to play a DPS.
As clearing dungeons is easier, everyone compete by doing as much dps as possible, thus the more supports they have the better. Double healers means as a dps you don't have to worry about running around doing mechanic (or just ignore them with the use of kaia), freely taking hits to maximize dps, free dps boost from crit aura and estar and hurricane all together, getting up faster after death, etc. It's annoying for healers since we're no longer acknowledged, but godsend for dps (and tank, which was reduced to mere front dps) because they can enlarge their epeen by placing somewhere on moongound.
It's true even for trap runs but in another sense, since there're no wipe mechanic that requires dps check anymore (in order to lure more casual players into endgame dungeons) double healers can carry the run much easier than solo heal.
Just look at HH, the only dungeons that majority of the player base is still struggling with. There's no extra room for support roles, since you're required to pull your own weight in order to clear. There're tons of wipe mechanic with dps check. People cannot ignore mechanic to maximize dps, since it might wipe your whole raid. All of those elements used to be in a lot of old endgame dungeons, but no longer here.
Too bad we cant do nothing about it, since it's how BHS has decided to lead the game.
I wish you'd read my post instead of snipping it. Then you'd know why I don't agree with that statement. Or, at least, you'd have given an answer to the question I asked in regards to it.
I wish to simply share this.
Having a mystic in the party with a priest is not a bad concept. If you consider the extra buffs you can get for having one in your party it is beneficial. Priest can give you certain buffs, mystics give you certain buffs. Both can compliment each other and not cancel each other out. I have played in parties with both mystics and priest and have found the experience both faster and with a higher dps output, as long as the party is not undergeared.
For rmhm my group is all with ppls of 150+ ping so double heals is kinda mandatory to not risk after 30%. As a tank I've never refused to go with only 1 heal tho on any instance including rmh. U might consider ping as a factor too for lately. Lots of ppl left and the ones that remain aren't all ping gods. Ofc there are god ppls on high ping too but most... No.
I do all the other dungeons with one. Even had one amazing girl healer in lkhm who soloed in slaughter even tho the DPS wore trap as hell. Often times with lfg I end up having to solo the boss on one healer cuz of healer dying to either lack of skill, ping spike or god knows what. And DPS not having pots die after. So it gets damn stressful sometimes. yeah not mandatory but definitely preferred.
Consider this things:
- Ping and fps. But oh dear god ping
- Clear in decent time vs risk of wiping and taking longer than with 2 heals. Not all players are students or have huge free time.
- diminished player base hence quality of LFG
- freedom of choice/preference
as if I'd rely on a priest to cleanse yeah no just wanna clear ty bai
cuz so many traps farming ambush mats for alts yeah
