why every FF14 healer is berserk healer

Man, I wish we would go back. Can the modern audience handle it though?

Its half of the reason why I've asked them, and only them, to defend their position.

You children and your modern game designs.

I want to go back to how Everquest was designed. With specific for-solo-play classes, required group classes like Warrior, Cleric and Enchanter you needed for every single group, and multiple-hour CD skills. Not this lame for-kiddos stuff like 30 seconds cooldowns and not even losing XP and delevelling when you die. Modern MMORPGs are just designed for weaklings...

I'm fine with mit being everyone's responsibility. My issue is that 99% of raidwides are one big hit - which just needs a lot of mit and makes shield healers superior. DoTs are snapshotted, so mitigation also affects them (this should straight up not be a thing, imo), which lead to problems in Abyssos. DPS wouldn't mit the snapshot, healers then had issues healing through the unmitigated DoT and got blamed when people died.

add a holy knight healer with more then one button of damage and i'd actually wanna play this game

You're in the wrong game, and it's been repeated countless times, in this game healers are green dps, end of the line. If you want a pure healer you gotta find another game.

There was nothing complex. The current audience handles tanks and dps just fine, it can handle healers from back then. After all, it went from a normal gameplay akin to tanks/dps, to pure 111.

Nah it gotta have a sword and shield axe aren't cool, war also doesn't have cool light holy animations.

Closest I'll get is putting armor on my white mage but armor on casters isn't allowed :(

Yeah, let's beserk that one button and actually deal no damage.
