As a White Mage the only DPS I will do is Aero. Because I don't believe I should blow my cool downs and mp on DPS. There are instances where mobs come around the corner and now we have extra mobs and if I have no MP to sustain the tank because I've blown it DPS and it's a wipe. I wish everybody would stop complaining. These changes were brought on by complaints. So now when the developers decided to make the changes due to the complaints more people are complaining about that. To me it's simple I play all three classes. Do the job you're in the dungeon to do. Let's face facts there are a lot of healers that would rather DPS but go healer because they get quicker queue times. Who cares is tanks do damage I don't. I care that they stay in stance stance to take less damage. If they do that I can focus my efforts on Keepin the DPS from dying. Inevitably these changes should help balance the negative experience we have all had using Duty Finder. I'm excited for the changes and I wish everybody would stop complaining.
this is right on....people will not accept there roles and continue to argue about DPS....Guess what there is a job/class for doing dps, go figure...I also like the changes to healer....you asked for balance there you go....
the devs stated that rather than coming out with a new healer in 5.0 they were going to balance the healer jobs which is what they did
Now I get what op is saying about double standards with this role. Tanks are treated like babies and the rest fight for scraps when it comes to changes. I play all jobs, tanking is more my style but I do like healing as well, IMHO more dps buttons distracts me from my PRIMARY PURPOSE AS HEALER WHICH IS TO "HEAL"...
All the rotations, GCDS, oGCDS, etc are boring after several thousand times on every/job class.....but that s not why I play. I like being able to use healer kits when situation go to hell and I can bring back the party from a possible wipe...or LB3 a trial to rez all and claim victory...or saving dps that steal agro.....these are the reasons I like healer not there dps rotation or lack there of...

Don't worry the devs will make changes for the worst/best depending If you wanna heal as healer or dps as a healer. Oh and the Double Standard will continue unless everyone stops playing healer and locks up all party content.
