I thought Yoshi wants healer to focus on healing only..

Or you know ... just accept the fact that the design of this game is different than other MMO? It's not a flaw because you don't like, it's not a flaw because "other MMO doesn't do it this way!".

I for once love this design philosophy. It requires people to be mindful of things outside of their role, instead of being just a single-minded job.

All fights in FFXIV are scripted.
All bosses will throw out mechanics in the exact same order, with the only exception being enrage timers triggering early due to slow add kills

it wasnt like it back in 2.0, Benediction have a holy 300s CD, only that + regen + Cure II (not too sure on it) is oGCD
we have stone skin, protect and we work very well with SCH
during that time even Titan HM can kill you if slightly undergear (HP pool not large enough)
only when the powercreep with il sync being so high, and more more short CD but high potency oGCD everysingle expansion
and wanting a heal focus does not mean 100% heal
there are some middle ground in this "should healer dps" drama, I am not against heal DPS when there is downtime
I am just saying I like to see we revert back abit so we arent spending more time on dps than heal.
I want healing focus just mean more time actually healing like shifting to 70% heal and 30% dps...etc
yeah may be i am some old skool, but ARR WHM is what i attached to, and now it change to something very different, just like those player who enjoy HW DRK more than any expansion.
I am not asking to completely going back to ARR style, but something slightly more majority of uptime in healing and some downtime to dps style of game play. Or make good use of buff and debuff, AST have strong potential in becoming buffing healer...etc
