    It's official, SCH/WHM have two DPS spells from level 6-80

    Whoever made this decision. . . This was a really bad one.

    SCH have effectively a dot and a filler spell for 74 levels (with 1 standard AOE and a conditional AOE).

    WHM is basically the same with Dia and Glare.

    As it stands right now, leveling as a healer is going to be extremely boring and extremely slow.

    If this was attempted for any other job. It wouldn't be acceptable at all.

    Imagine if Tanks had only 2 buttons for Emnity, an AoE move, and Defensive CD's. That's what this would be akin to.

    This is our DoT "Upgrade":



    That's two expansions in a row they opted not to give us a new healer in order to "focus on balancing the existing healer jobs." This is the result of all that waiting, this is the best they could come up with.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Is that your only problem about WHM? If yes, I want to be you.

    Imagine playing Healer because you want to dps and not just playing a DPS job.

    Think if tank had 2 buttons for emnity and defensive CD's. How fun would that be?

    Gasp! It's like they want the healers to actually focus on healing!

    I understand the complaint, but DPSing as a healer is a bonus for making sure everyone is okay. Healers have so much support especially between SCH and AST that even if they aren't casting their DPS skills their support skills more than make up for it.

    Imagine playing healer and wanting to have fun when doing solo content without having a DPS job on the side.

    Level and use your company chocobo to make the process faster.

    You'll see plenty of DPS' using their chocobo for healing, you at least get to take on more than 2 enemies without fear of dying.

    Garbage change. And, instead of fixing Selene they just made her Eos? TALK ABOUT LAZY.

    Appalling change, leveling a healer is going to become even more mind numbing than it already was.

    Sorry but that would only be true if you know, content was actually hard, but it's not. If you enjoy spending 50% of a fight standing around doing nothing waiting for someone to take damage so that you can heal them then all the power to you.
