After reading this, I'm curious what other WoW healers think. For me, this nailed it on the head. As an old mmo gamer, I started with the release version of EQ, in which I, among other classes, played and enchanter [a CC specialist]. Support abilities have always had a special place with me, and to see that concept be fleshed out as 1/3 of the combat experience gives me goosebumps.
Or, am I all alone on this one and a majority prefer healthbar management as the primary duty of the "support" aspect of gameplay?
