Se! Healer dps is totally op, plz nerf.

[MilesSaintboroguh]

No, Holy was nerfed because that AND Flare was too powerful, which led to things melting fast and it also meant faster clears in dungeons. The devs didn't like that. Don't act like as if WHMs got the nerf bat cause BLMs were also hit with the same bat. Holy and Flare together made things trivial.

I have yet to see a single PotD bossfight in which I actually need to heal someone unless they run into AoEs on purpose.
So really, I'm actually just wondering what the people in your parties even did to need healing in the first place :x

That's how far it went. Healer don't feel obligated to heal. I wonder what the Devs may think about it.
It's always "funny" to see healer turning into Manticore if Knock back isn't available. Of course they die and wiping the group. Why? Because it's so much fun doing damage, right?

The content is tuned so you can survive with pots. ._. Healers aren't even required for the queue. Lol. This troll is getting too deep. The lines are blurring. Arguments are forming. What have you done thunduh D:

Tanks are expected to DPS. That's how they hold enmity on things. The difference between tanks and healers is that tanks are always doing something and fully using their GCDs.

Apologies, I should have clarified. While you are right, the DPS is a byproduct of them trying to gain emnity.

Healers that don't DPS, usually just stand there doing nothing. If you want to stop cleric stance use, just buff the incoming damage and start introducing soft enrage (aka more damage that goes out the longer the fight) mechanics to fights that tell DPS to push it.

Sounds like a great idea tbh. Good shout!

Though, I don't know why you would want to stop cleric stance use. It's an interesting mechanic as a healer that I think is really important to being a healer. Effectively using cleric stance shows that you can correctly gauge the incoming damage and contribute to the party in some meaningful way rather than waiting for more damage.

I think more focus should be put onto having to heal you see. Like, if you're the cream of the crop, then you can weave in DPS, perhaps, if you really want to keep the CS mechanic. But for your average Joe, DPSing as a healer shouldn't be possible. It should be for the best of the best only, if possible at all. In my opinion at least.

SE is all about lowering the skill gap, so that's not a great idea either. ._.

Don't worry, in 4.0, Cleric Stance will be totally removed from all Healer jobs. The battle system reconstruction will allow Healers to do absolutely nothing but heal. Solo gameplay? Not anymore! If you're a Healer and you want to MSQ, you'd better get yourself a Tank or DD buddy, or you're up shite creek without a rudder.

[Mugiawara]

I would not be surprised at all if the Devs decide to disable Cleric Stance in dungeons/trials like they did in PvP.

They made it clear that they don't want healers to dps too much with decreasing Holy's potency by 10% per use up to 50% and that's the same with ASTs Gravity. Then there's not adding any ACC to healer's gear.

With them getting rid of accuracy in 4.0, the only thing left will then get rid of CS. Even if CS is gone, people will still want healers to dps

As a main N. AST healer , I shield and SS tank. Quickly CS, LA, SC then pop gravity to DPS while my cards are running.
I just don't wanna sit still and heal all the time and am willing to DPS if I can. I mean I don't
knock other healers if they don't DPS...but why not? Just chilling out isn't all that fun lol.

Oh well, I blame people wanting speedruns and the devs putting critical DPS checks in stuff and now us healers
have to choose which one to do. Heal and wait for inevitable death or die because there wasn't enough DPS lol.

But DPS is not our priority either so why even touch CS?
I'm sad this topic has become serious now they might kill us healers for little bit of DPS fun we could have. )':

Yeah this is why playing a healer in the large group PvP is stupid. Everyone else has access to their kit but we get punished? Screw that. You get to do almost nothing and get instant-targeted for everything.

Your opinion is bad.

You'd be surprised at how many people rage quit out a run because "we can't do this without a healer" and then turn around and beat the floors in record time after they leave, even as a healer if i have another one in the run i'll just tell them to full dps and i take care of the healing if it's needed and it does fine. people are just not thinking clearly.
