I'm bored when I heal because I need more complex DPS rotations

Eukrasian Toxikon, Dyskrasia, and Phlegma should absolutely be a thing for SGE, but I don't know what their effects would be though.

DPS is secondary, and you do so when you don't have to heal?

How about we combine those with the 'more interesting kardia effects' idea floating around?

give Eukrasian Toxikon a Regen effect instead of the normal flat heal.

E. Dyskrasia could do an AoE heal centered on the kardia target.

E. Phlegma could give a Shield to the Kardia target instead of a heal.

Give all of them bigger than normal MP cost to offset the extra healing these effects would provide.

Indeed. We press 1 button about as much as any tanks does their auto attacks.

Which is most of the time unfortunately =/

I would honestly say that in current healer design, healing is secondary to doing damage at this point.

At 60-80% of your total casts, your damage buttons see far more use than your healing buttons, even in supposedly harder content.

in another thread someone was saying how useless cure 1 is and imo cure 2 also, my quick take for that which is relevant here as well was that they can remove cure 1 and 2 and put 1 or 2 more dps spells and spice up the rotations and playstyles. they can instead have one of the later healing spells available early to compensate or if you will add only one new dps spell, make cure 1 upgrade to 2 and later to the instant lily heal. the same can be applied to the aoe heals and similarly to the other healers with their own versions of cure 1,2 etc. i think this isn't a proper solution, that would be a complete rework of all jobs quite frankly but at least with this suggestion you can get an easy and fast fix.

I guess the problem the devs are having is that some people use 'secondary' to refer to 'where in our list of priorities damage is', that is, 'we keep the party alive first and foremost, and only then do we consider damage', whereas others use it to refer to how often one or the other is used as part of our gameplay, and so it seems that there's not a consensus, due to the misunderstanding

At that point it's just arguing semantics which get neither of us or them anywhere with that.
