Please make healing more worthwhile than Dps-ing

[Eisenhower]

1. Make it so that healer have a gauge that can only be accumulated by healing and raise (don't count overheal), that can be used to dish out a BIG Dps

Although I main WHM for this patch and find the lilies passable, I don't want every job to become WHM. There's already indication of tank players being dissatisfied of having DRK and WAR inching closer and closer mechanically and loss of identity. I argue that we don't need further homogenization between healers either.

2. Decrease the normal Dps spell potency (Glare/Broil/Etc)

I'd rather not get two slaps across the face in the form of reduced DPS contribution in parties as well as reduced solo efficiency. It's already a tremendous pain in the ass to play solo content on a healer because we have one or two actions to kill enemies with and the enemies sure aren't killing us through the avalanche of healing and mitigation tools in our kit. So instead we're stuck doing our best impression of that spoon murder.

If SQEX want healers to spend their time healing, then put us in scenarios were it's more important to heal than to DPS.

The issue is multi-layered, consisting of healers having very strong GCD and oGCD actions to restore health for both single and multi-target scenarios, incoming damage mostly being in the form of occasional spike damage, a very small amount of healing-related mechanics, and only a small amount of healer-unique responsibilites/encounter interactions.

I recently finished levelling AST via Alliance/trial/raid roulettes and fates. It made me realise how doing absolutely anything in the overworld as a healer is currently pure distilled tedium. WHM I had quests and story and dungeons to keep me occupied. SCH I had people constantly wanting to run dungeons so I didn't have to touch overworld content. Doing AST with little payoff besides FATE completion where you have to solo them most of the time? Woo boy. Awful. Never again.
