Suggestion as to how to get people to become healers.

[Reiryuu]

If you aren't DPSing, you aren't performing at 100%, let alone above it. Without stepping into Cleric, healers lose a third of their toolkit.

Again, I am strictly speaking of what the content is balanced around as the devs intend it to be done.

Yoshida: Yes. Since all DPS jobs will be increasing up through level 60, it makes sense to have the white mage's DPS extend by a proportional amount as well. For development, such as with Bahamut's Coils, the development team assumes what the item level should be for general equipment on players when they clear a raid. They sum up the basic DPS for four DPS and tanks at that assumed item level and cut that by about 10-15% for the minimum clear DPS. Healer DPS is not taken into account when this is set.

According to Yoshida, Healer DPS is icing on the cake. Again, as I have said before. Is the bar too low? Yes. But that doesn't mean that the community should raise the bar to an unreasonably high level either and some people do. Just because you and your friends can clear Dungeon X in 5 minutes flat, doesn't mean every random group you meet in DF should be held to that standard.
