A little tired of seeing this really. You play both classes so you claim experience eh? You've played a Fury since the Combat Update, that does not equate to any real knowledge of the class at all, since you never experienced the major problems we had before the update. Please refrain from claiming something you do not have, as your 'experience' has no actual meaning without having experienced the history.
Rensu, and other Furys like him fought long and hard to bring the issues of our class to the Devs' attention. Now that that work has paid off, people want to cry about it. Where were the Templars before the Combat Update bringing up DPS issues like Rensu brought up Fury healing issues? Oh, that's right. There were none. Know why? Because Templars could get a group within seconds, everyone wanted them. They never wanted for much of anything from what I've read on the boards.
Yeah, I know, everything changed in the CU. Soloing became an issue with more classes. Templars lost their advantage over other healers, so are now relegated to actually compete with others, or go solo.
Ever since I've been following this discussion, I've been asking my groups (when I'm not in a guild group) why they picked me. Never once was it because I could DPS. They said they needed a healer and asked the first available. Feels good to be one of those 'first available' healers now. I've never seen any groups /ooc for a Fury, but I've seen a lot /ooc for a healer. Glad I can send em a tell and not be laughed at anymore.
Furies have become FoTM (Flavor of The Month) just because it appears there are more healer classes that actually wanted to be DPS instead but were afraid to admit it before.
The problems before the Combat Update dont really matter anymore. Get over yourself. You are no better because you played longer. You played a broke class before the CU. You want a cookie?
Now Furys are the best healers, best burst damage, best sustained damage, better than most utility and you call this balance. Yeah. Doctor heal thyself.
