Where are all the healers?

[Mitsubashibash]

Well, to be honest, I think a lot of people hung up their white mage and scholar robes due to Stormblood's handling of their jobs.

White mages have a mechanic which doesn't mesh well with how they heal. In fact, they heal just fine if they they ignore the mechanic. Months of feedback have resulted in minor tweaks but no real fix to mechanic.

Scholars were nerfed and no longer play like they used to play. Shields are much weaker, their fairy was majorly nerfed, and mana regeneration is slashed. Months of feedback have resulted in the introduction of an AoE damage spell. No fix to the job's critical issues.

Meanwhile, two powerful and fun to play damage dealers were introduced. Guess where a lot of those dissatisfied healers went?

That's why there's a shortage of healers.

Nailed it for me.

My main classes were WHM and SCH. Got them both to 70 then haven't played them since.


Oh and I got tired of being pushed into DPS'ing. They could remove all Healer DPS spells for me and I'd be happy.
