If you are truely spamming then you are doing something wrong. maybe it is different for other classes, but as a templar I don't have to spam anything.

When soloing I basically pull with a debuff, hit my HO starter and then the 2 DDs that complete the HO, with a reactive heal thrown in when needed. When I am in a group clearing trash, all I really do is put a reactive heal on the tank and wait for it to expire before refreshing. When we pull something big, I debuff it and heal when needed.

Never have to spam, never have to button mash. When I played my 70 warrior in WoW it was similar, start with charge, then wait for rage to build to hit MS, Hamstring, DS or HS among other things.

Now I will grant you for some classes there are many abilities that do similar things, but if you pay attention you know which few you actually use.

I still don't get the hate for the "Button-mashing. skill/spell spamming", cause I don't do it, nor do I see it anymore than a WoW rogue trying to get a skill off when building energy.
