One of my players loved his healing Cleric of Pelor more than any other character he's ever played. Why? For roleplaying reasons. He didn't play a cleric to be overpowered. He didn't play a cleric to kick some ass (though he would throw down in combat more often than he'd heal, unless it was a Heal or Mass Heal, a Quickened healing spell, or to stop someone from dying). He played a cleric to heal people, because he liked the flavor.And that, I think, answers the spirit of your question. He liked roleplaying a healer. He liked roleplaying someone who saved lives through that healing, not through defense (though he would through defense, obviously). Are there people that want to play a healer? For sure. Out of my group of 5 (which does not count myself), two are content to play dedicated healers/support. Right now we don't have one, and my group may be quite different than most. But I'm looking at 2/5, or 40%, as a pretty high number.Hope this sheds some insight into at least one other group. Good post, and good luck finding the answer. Remember, play what you like <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
