Okay…so, I hardly post on the forums…I really just lurk around. However, I thought about bringing this up.
For some reason, it didn’t bug me until today…when I guess I really thought about it. You see, I really LOVE my GW1 monk…I love healing people, I love playing that “watch the red bar” game, and stuff like that. Now, today when I was in Silverwastes (for the umpteenth time), I realized…that the Modrem have monks!
So…I have one question..why do they get monks and we don’t?
(This is really just a joke thread…but I mean…seriously, come on!!!)
I’ve got an Ele healer that works rather well. He’s not especially needed, but a well-timed healbomb and his steady regen can make a fight more forgiving for others.
Many alts; handle it!

Mordremoth is a really old being, so still has access to old pre-magic-retcon classes. And the mordrem creatures are simply an extension of the dragon. Our characters, on the other hand, were made in the post-retcon world, so they cannot use the old paths of magic.
Also, stealth holy trinity thread? Is it that time of the month again?
Actions, not words.
Remember, remember, 15th of November

Not so much “stealth holy trinity thread” as it is some people like to be heavy support, and healing is the first notion that comes to mind. And, weird as it is, some people like healing.
While the trinity itself is abhorrent (if playing a pure dps class), GW2 wasn’t designed that way. (Thankfully!) We have plenty of damage prevention tools and a self-heal, so dedicated healers aren’t necessary. Potentially useful, but not necessary. But that also frees up that “healer spot” for damage and more active gameplay.
..One of my friends hated the game for that. =P

I used to love healing. I loved it when a “pro tank” would pop frenzy. I’d let him die. He’d post stuff like “1” over and over, until he fell. I never laughed so hard.
I managed to get over the issues of such a mindset, if only a bit.
I was greatly disappointed when I found out that healing allies as a Guardian wasn’t very easy or rewarding. (And not very powerful either unless you spec’d right into it.)
Managed to feel a bit more like a dedicated healer surprisingly as a Mantra Mesmer (2k heal spams galore), so that was a nice bit even if it was the class I least expected to have such a well controlled heal for allies.

Nah, just reminiscing about my monk, and calling shenanigans on Modremoth.
Hey, hey, that wasn’t my quote. XD
And there’s a lot of other things we could drag Mordy to court for. =P

Yes! We need a rez spell, a heal spell, a heal dot, tank should have an aggro grab spell, healers should have a heal-leader, tanks should have a tank-leader, and we should all be measured by a dps meter to blame who’s bottom 3 to kick have a friendly constructive discussion with.
Ascended gear should be obsolete, replaced with Higher Ascended rarity, and that in turn replaced with Ultra Ascended rarity before the Mega-Ultra Ascendeds will be released.
We need a way to give other players’ gear a quick check mechanism. Something to know in one look if to kick a player … something to give his gear a general score … something … yes! – GearScore! The future is bright!
A healing class mucks up PvP. PvP is bad enough as it is in this game, with a healer it would get worse.
You are aware that a bunker guard is pretty much a healer in a team fight that sits on point? Yes they do a lot more than that but if I’m a thief and I mess up a takedown and eat some frost grenades, one of the guard’s reactives is to heal me and cleanse chilling so I can get more health padding for another attempt.
Sorry about that, like I mentioned…I hardly use the forums, sorry about the misquote.
No worries!
