"Druids bring so much to the table over a cleric "
I said this because I have played a druid and I have played a cleric and unless you are doing nothing but healing, a druid can do so much more than a cleric. I will stand by that statement because when I come to the table with cyen I tell you...here is my bag of heals. It is a big bag, but it has heals. When I come to the table with a druid my bag is big and full of many different presents.
All in all, we played a bit with the druid heals last night and other than the awful cast time on their group heal still, I think that the devs accomplished what they were aiming for with the change in their healing.
