Sorry dude, but you started the conversation off in your first post by being dismissive of other people's playstyle and choice of spell. I get it. You don't like Healing Word. Your rationale doesn't make a lot of sense in a combat situation where making good choices leads to a less damaged party which uses fewer overall resources, but it's ok that you don't like it.When I played my healbot, I did not even necessarily heal a downed PC right away. I sometimes waited a round so that the foes surrounding that downed PC move off to go attack other PCs or for some other reason. The concept of playing any PC, let alone a healbot, one and only one way does indeed sound subpar (unless one is roleplaying a low Int/Wis PC in which case, subpar choices in combat make sense). My PC is in a life and death struggle often. I play him that way. If Healing Word is a better choice, he's going to use it. If Cure Wounds is a better choice, he's going to use that. If not casting a healing spell is a better choice, he's going to do that.From the perspective of the PC, Healing Word is a great spell. That's roleplaying. If you were actually your character in a D&D world, you would not have the opinion you have. You would love the fact that you could get a downed ally conscious from 60 feet away. I'm not going to throw the screwdriver out of the toolkit cause I prefer to use a hammer.</blockquote>
