Suggestion as to how to get people to become healers.

[Capriana]

Remove the need to cleric stance.

Have the damage scale of MIND similar to how tanks got the VIT buff.
And before you argue the healers will become OP, I doubt it, because their main job is still healing and the only possible candidate for OP is SCH, I think. And they have pets to micro manage so things are already tough for them. Plus others don't really have strong damage dealing spells except holy and gravity and they can think of something to balance them.

God knows I, my self, dread playing my SCH because of stance dancing. Remove that and I will play the bazoonka out of my SCH and possibly have it become my main.

WE FINALLY GOT DAMAGE OFF MND. YES! Even though I Love new Bahamut, but I will rock SCH comes SB time. Now we will see if my predictions were true or not regarding more people playing healer and also DPSing more.

You would probably enjoy Chloromancer in Rift

That was my bread and butter in RIFT raiding. There's a noticeable lack of "DPS to heal" in FFXIV outside of Bloodbath.

That's because it's a royal pain to balance. Even Rift took the better part of a year or so to do that, and even then, it seems like all that resulted is more general heals rather than attacks for healing.
