I love how people keep saying good riddance on the Healer nerf without actually thinking it through.
First of all, I agree the heal amount was absurd and needed a nerf, but not nearly as much as a complete wipe with extreme prejudice as Blizz is doing.
People don't realize their progress so far (in terms of grift pushing) was only possible because of the Healer. Some idiots even go so far as saying pushing grifts will now require skill. It's obvious they actually haven't played high grifts (83+) themselves. When you reach that high of a grift level, without a Healer, no amount of "skill" is going to save you from everything one-shotting you by surrounding you with arcanes and frozens. You get nicked ONCE, you are down to < 10% Life, you start to run away, you get hit again because you are in density. Your cheat death triggers. You use your "skill" by not going back in to density like an idiot. You start to kite. But it's not like the grift is all of a sudden empty. You WILL get breathed on again, and you do. You panick and spend potion for the pathetic heal amount. Touched again, game over.
Make no mistake, life regen is absolutely essential.
