Healers seriously need a nerf in PvP

[Nanne]

I am not sure why people keep referring to Feast

Feast is what currently balances jobs in PvP. In Feast there are way less players in teams and even there healers die VERY easily if players know what to do. Why would the job have to be weakened in a mode where there is 8-24 players in 1 team? Someone pointed it well out earlier that its not healing problem. The dps jobs which have stuns/silences in their abilities can 1v1 healers but sadly not every job has access to these abilities :/

I am a PvP healer main since ARR and, in my opinion, HW healing was better than SB healing.
Back then, you could easily kill bad healers.
However it was better for healers too, as there were far more tools to create a skill-gap between good and bad healers, so it felt rewarding for healers in HW PvP when you did maximize your abilities, and win against teams with worse healers.
Now it's just... Who has better latency for the clunky heals.

The roles in PvP have been simplified too much, so it feels worse for everyone. Every class just feels like it has tools missing that they had in HW, and it just doesn't feel nice.

I miss the area effect skills, honestly. It felt nice to be able to try to exercise area control, instead of just running circles around a wall for evasion.

And all in all, spamming a single target heal might work for something actiony like overwatch or monster hunter: world, but in FF14 with its tab target nature, it gets to be pretty dull...
