Healing get harder?

[Keramory]

Was curious for those who are ahead of me and healing endgame content.

Did keeping the tanks up to near full hp become more effort consuming? I'm 67 whm and I've noticed I've had to turn my DPS down slightly in dungeons because the tanks are always close to death.

It's manageable don't get me wrong, but even with the stance dance gone I'm finding less time between heals for DPS. Even with that useless benson

I realize of course, in leveling gear and the levels themselves play a huge factor, that's why I'm posting. Does it get better? Can the tanks actually take a few hits?

Same. They made tanks squishy even though the new abilities make them seem like they would be tougher.

But also remember that we are not overgeard for content just yet. That is probably the leading reason it takes so much more healing.

Mobs hits harder in dungeons and raids now.

They droped stance dance for healers but gave way more damage to heal through.

Susano extreme has also tons of healing checks. FFXIV is getting more like wow in this sense. I bet in Omega Savage it will be very difficult for healers to dps even without stance dance.

Other fact is mana, now MP conservation really matters, sometimes It'll be wiser to stop dpsing just to save mp for a healer check.

Comparatively to other extreme fights, Susano Extreme doesn't have tons of healing required if people do mechanics right outside of the sword/ultimate phase and whenever he AoEs. You can Medica II lightning phases and have one healer DPS and the other tops off the tank and individuals that get marked.

As a whitemage I DPS about 70% of the time in dungeons (including the new ones).

I don't think much had changed tbh.

It's mostly the same as when HW came out. Gear levels are a bit low.

The two ex primals are pretty easy and don't take much healing, if people are doing mechanics. Once your party knows the fight you can spend a lot of time DPSing. Many resses will still run you dry, though.

Definitely noticing the higher healing requirements. The tank I normally run with his a bit lower level than me, so it's been easier whenever I do not pug. With pugs it usually takes me 2-3 pulls to get the rhythm down for how the other tank operates.

There is more damage going out, and we may also be experiencing tanks still adjusting to CDs and abilities the way we're having to adjust to all our changes. Tanks also don't seem to have gotten the message yet that maybe they shouldn't pull like insane monkeys until they gear up more.

My boyfriend tanks for me more often than not and I am sending him a screenshot of this. Thanks for the validation!

Yoshi P did this for a reason. He doesn't like healers DPSing so much. He said it himself, "You guys are healers, your suppose to be healing." He also said he hated Cleric Stance.

Everyone is adjusting to their role changes and new actions. Tanks are doing the same. We are also still in the process of gearing up. Give it a few weeks and it won't be as bad. I do believe this is intentional though. I wouldn't be surprised if debuffs play a larger role in omega.
