everyone saying that "theyre uping incoming damage to compensate" are forgetting that square designs most content for the lowest common denominator. yknow those healers that let the party die to the heal check in ultima the high seraph? yeah, encounters have to be designed so that even they can clear it with minimal issue. so the healers that regularly do higher end content are rightfully concerned that taking away their options to dps will leave them with very little because they will still have downtime.
