It's sort of the trade-off for the ease that's console/controller movements.
- How is healing on a console? I've heard it can be easier because of the D-pad, but also slower? Will it make a huge difference?
- How are queue times for healers now?Â
Basically:
PC: Â Cast spell --> global cooldown at .2 remaining, hit next spell --> global cooldown finishes, already casting next spell
Console: Cast spell --> global cooldown finishes --> hit next spell --> begin casting
As for queues, I don't endgame often (... almost ever...), but I know during the leveling grind your queue for dungeons is only limited to how often a tank queues. I think the longest I ever sat as a WHM was five minutes, because 'absolutely no tanks in queue, including Roulette'.
