It seems like you are bringing up issues brought up in other threads Fern, the cause of many other issues too. That being fan tomes and the ease of which you can be tanky on this game without sacrificing much. How strong you can make a healer has little bearing on this topic though as you didn't really address the existing counters we have to healing. You say all you have to do is swap to screamer but let's break your example down. Item swap is 3m using the skill to cure silence is 1m and deals damage to yourself. At this point you have 3m to swap back or you now chose to heal with the likely inferior scaling tome. Even if you do this you have likely left yourself in an exposed position now allowing the enemy to reapply or deal damage etc. Gaining tempo in a fight is very important and even if you can cure the status effects that means you are generally falling behind in tempo.
