Every problem with the current iteration of healers.

great that you feel our dps shouldnt be focused on but the reality is in xiv healers have always spent more time doing dps so we need these parts to be enjoyable or for healing downtime to dramatically decrease but that requires significant reworks

if dps that important for u as a healer then take a dps class with a healing spell and just have fun with it or wait until a healer with fun dps mechanics will be created for u.

i understand u want to be able to do both.
tbh i always hoped that the scholar will be that kind of multi-tasker,using his pet to do different jobs(carbuncle for attacks ,fairies for support) while scholar does something else.

but again dps is not the main focus of a healer nor should it. healers apply dps to help when they don't need to heal/buff .
the fact healers spent more time dps then heal means that in terms of party members hp they are not below % of their definition of red zones and already apply whatever buff they have to increase dps and keep going without emergency heals.
dps will always be low for healers cause that was never their purpose,we are here for supporting the party either by healing/shielding or giving buffs to members.
healers do dps only when they solo content or have healing downtimes and want to contribute more that way.

*the fact we healers do it is because its basically a common thing,we done what we can to support,so now lets get this over faster.
