Question about the "Healer" tags on certain Toons

RE: "Healer"

OK, so I agree with JC, Talia, Barriss, J.Eng, T.Shaman, Old Daka, and Ewok Elder.

But why is N.Acolyte a "healer", whereas Lumi and ShoreT are not?

I wanted to add Chirrut, but I figure it's because he only equalizes and adds HoT instead of "healing".

It's not a big deal on the main parts of the game as a whole, but I was curious.

Thanks.

yeah, the Healer tag is pretty nonsensical. You don't get it because you heal (Lumi), and you can get it when it's extremely rare that you would want to use that character's heal (Talia). Ackbar is one of the most effective healers in the game because he turns Healing Immunity into Health. Is Ackbar a healer? Nope.

I think it would be better if they ditched the Healer tag altogether, but if they didn't want to do that they could also make it a 2nd tag: You're always an attacker, tank or support, but if you're one of those 3 things and you also heal, you get the Healer tag too. All current healers who are not tanks or attackers would acquire the support tag in addition to the Healer tag.
