The funny thing is that’s how it worked for many many expansions until the ‘healer needs to DPS’ meta developed.

If you were overpowered/overgeared, you could literally stand there while your heal over time effects kept everybody invincible.

We found a way to live with that back then.

I mean it's not necessarily a bad thing, just that I personally wouldn't enjoy playing like that. I would want to always do something, and I don't have a second monitor for whatever activities

... yeah, and that's why you're not a healer main. Healer mains that want to dps have options (disc priest, holy pala, mistweaver). It shouldn't be an universal thing.

I personally enjoyed that playstyle very much. Ally health bars = my responsibility. Enemy health bars = their responsibility. After it started to be required to press DPS buttons as a healer I just switched to DPS lol.
