This is my first time posting here, but with Evercold coming out in 9 months, I feel like now is the time to voice my opinions and hoping there's even remotely a chance that the devs will see this and take the feedback in some capacity.
With the showcase of Evolved WHM at Fanfest, I feel anxious at the current direction they're going in. The other jobs seem to have a clear idea of where they're developing the job, but WHM and maybe healers in general feel weak.
I do have a huge wish list of things I would like to see from the possible changes to any and all the healers, but at the top of my request is this: Make the DPS button more interactive.
I want our DPS button to not just be a begrudging thing that we have to use or don't use. I know the devs want healers to heal so let it interact with our healing kit. Let it build up some kind of gauge for us that will give us access to stronger or cool healing/support skills so that we want to use the DPS rotation.
I don't think this is an unreasonable request considering the tanks have something similar. All their 1-2-3 give them gauge that gives access to skills like Fell Cleave for WAR. I've healed in this game for my entire career since Heavensward and the DPS button, for something that higher level healers use for 90% of an encounter, just doesn't do anything interesting. Please don't just leave it as something forgotten about or as a side note, integrate it with the healer's kit.
