    Try a DPS in Titan. If you're playing the job well and are generally consistent, you'll notice, say - after 10 clears, that you're doing the exact same thing. If you're very consistent, you're repeating the fight down to the GCD.
    Go to one of those players with 50+ clears trying to get their 100 percentile parse - "What GCD are you using during the 2nd tumult after the first uplift?". They'll tell you.
    This is different to healers telling you what they use to heal those tumults ... because reasons?

    Every job has this problem. It's just that healers are the whiniest bunch.
    Healers are whiny because they want more to do other than spam the one button. Yes, eventually a DPS will just press the same GCDs over and over again, your point? It's called a rotation for a reason. However, how much more likely are you to mess that up while doing mechanics, or just in general, over to mess up "spam broil and press bio once every 30 seconds". Healers run out of things to do and improve on much more quickly than any other role. Give DPS the same rotation as healers and see if they'd be okay with it, I mean they're eventually go to pressing the same GCDs in a fight anyways, so why not let it happen sooner?

    Make SCH great again! Seriously though, we just want our class to be fun and engaging again, not OP, is that too much to ask for?

    You are equally as likely as you are to mess up anything while doing mechanics.
    Apparently "spam broil and press bio once every 30 seconds" is everything you do. Can you not mess up healing?
    Isn't interrupting a Broil or a Succor an identical mess-up to interrupting a Fire IV when dealing with a mechanic?

    You say "Give DPS the same rotation as healers and see if they'd be okay with it".
    Once again, apparently "spam broil and press bio once every 30 seconds" is everything you do. Healing is not part of playing healer anymore?

    Healing is a part of healer, but look up any healer log and compare the heal casts to the DPS casts, see which one they press more, and by a wiiide margin. Is it "everything"? Of course not, is it what I do the vast majority of the time with very little breaks, and gets lesser and lesser if I don't have a team full of people that eat glue? Here, I'll design a DPS for you that plays just like healers, let's see how it goes.

    RDM: healer edition, by Billy
    Jolt: 500 potency (or whatever potency would be appropriate for DPS) main spam ability
    Verjolt: does damage over 30 seconds, potency whatever
    Contra six: same as now
    Fleche: same as now
    Veraero: oGCD 60 second recast time. Potency whatever
    Verfire: oGCD 60 second recast time. Potency whatever
    Vercure: same as now
    Verraise: same as now
    Vermedica: aoe heal
    Jobgauge: press jolt 10 times and you can use scorch: potency whatever

    There you go, maybe throw in a few oGCDs for flavor if you want. But I've just about made a RDM that plays close to healers, 3 panic GCDs, some oGCDs to cycle through, 1 dot and 1 spam. Is it 1 to 1 as healers? Eh, I only put as much thought into it as SE put into healers this expac, so prolly not, but it's close. Now, go ask RDMs if they would like my design or, if like I suspect, they'd throw it in the garbage.
