What Role Skills would you like to see for Healers?

Gotta think back to White Knight Chronicles days while reading this *-*

Not really a wish, since it would be rather OP than balanced (I guess), I was a mage-heal-tank-dps back in the days, and besides evade-tanking we had skills (as if I could recall the names of those skills x.x), similiar to stoneskin, but one time use only, one was a barrier to completely absorb the next physical attack, the other one was basically the same, but for magical attacks.

tl;dr - two modified stoneskin-skills as a "only next incoming attack for each physical and magical attack with 100% absorbtion"

Doubt this would work in FF14 though ^^

BLM used to have that.. but it was too easy to abuse mechanics with (so yeah, doesn't really work).

As for cross-roles:
Lethargy - Inflicts target with Heavy and Slow (oGCD)
Charge - 50% chance of 10% MP recovery (Instant cast, 15/30s cooldown depending on if it worked)
Barrier - Creates a shield around you that absorbs a single hit of up to 50% max HP (oGCD)
Decoy - Increases targets enmity, for all enemies in combat, to your current enmity +1 and prevent enmity generation for 5s
Repose - Single target sleep (if crowd control is going to be a thing all healers should have it)

Prayer or something like prayer, a party wide heal ability that cost no mp and recovers moderate damage. Healers who've died and been resurrected know what I mean when I say, I wish raising someone brought them back with their resources at the levels they had before they died. Prayer would go a long way in allowing us to do our job after being raised and having no mp or lucid dream is on cooldown, but the party still needs healing.

So basically you want Assize, Indomitability, and Earthly Star.

Aside from those, I think they wanted something like a cheap but little healing top-up outside of the respective toolkits that all the healers could use after they resurrect someone. Perhaps it's an action that can only be used on a target with Weakness - that's really the only way I could see it working. Use Pray on a Weakened target and they get 10% HP back maybe otherwise the action is ineffective without weakness.
