Give healers DPS to make up for lost heals

Another Idea since heals were nerfed 80% as shown here. https://www.reddit.com/r/Neverwinter/comments/hjx0y2/the_80_nerf_on_healing/ Would be to instead give DPS to healers for the 80% of outgoing heals lost. This way they would feel as if they are contributing to the party in some way if no longer able to give that boost on the healing side. This would then help maybe healers to still feel somewhat useful instead of struggling to keep up heals that are not longer effective.

Look... the healing has to come from somewhere. It was determined that healing is too easy now. If we want to make healers more relevant, the best next step IMO... is to double the cooldown on Stones of Health, add an item slot to everyone (4 item slots). Players could use the extra item slot to equip potions that would be on a separate cooldown timer from stones.

Healing is too easy for the 1% not the average player base. Healing currently is not enough and feels lack luster as being a healer currently when played is clunky, dull, and extremely boring. Its not fun as many healers have stated already. Not to mention insufficient to heal the average player group. Not the 1%, I am talking real players in not top tier guilds. Doubling on the time of stones will only make party wipes worse causing blame to even more be on the healer. Many players have invested so much time and effort into their healers. I know its easy to brush off healers concerns as a DPS player, so perhaps healers can gain dps. Not as much as pure dps does..so they do touch up heals much like we have now, but can also contribute more to the fight so it may feel more enjoyable to play. I know many don't seem to care about healers, but if I don't stand up for myself and others then nobody will. This is just another idea to try and help healing classes.

No need to double the cooldown the price has tripled. It now costs 2500 ad per charge on your stone of health

i like the idea of double the cooldown on stone of health.

PAY2HEAL business model of 2020?

if they give to healers decent dps we will create a new meta : 1 tank, 9 healer
they will not do it.

just to ask : our aoe heals decrease the magnitude by the number of player healed; why the dps aoe powers don't have the same mechanics? let them suffer like us, this is true equality and balance
but for dps the real challenge is on boss, so maybe they would suffer less for that type of mechanic.... so do the opposite? decrease the maglitude of your ST power the less target you hit.
doesn't make any sense? neighter do the one on aoe on healers, so again : tue equality and balance

as it is now i don't enjoy playing a healer, not because of the nerf (nerf come and go, or more precisely come and come again) but if post mod 16 the mechanics were berable, now they are not.
