Quote:This rank change could also be in responce to Blizzard thinking raiding guilds bring too much dps and not enough healing. In most raiding situations raiding guilds have learned that overloading on dps solves a lot of problems. Healers being able to downrank has made them so efficient guilds can get away with this. So maybe this change forces guilds to slot in one more healer than they are now so that they can cycle regening better. Thus the overall raid dps is lower from having one less dps class and fights are no longer trivialized from excessive dps. So in an odd way, this change could be less about nerfing healers and more about nerfing raid dps.This would be pretty retarded since they are trying pretty hard to buff healers. If you wanted to buff an under represented spec in raids its tanks that need love. You usually bring 6+ healers to a raid but only a moron with a brain tumor would bring 6+ tanks.
