I like healing. I think it's fun. It should also speak volumes that most of the people trashing healers right now have healers listed as their main roles in the forum.

WHM is in the best place it's been since SCH launched.

Most of the SCH complains are QoL, that, if you haven't played previous iterations religiously, you won't notice.

AST cards are pretty meek, but overall, the card system flows much more easily, and healing has some cool mechanics.

Basically, if you don't care that you'll have to spam one spell during downtime, you're fine.

The way the rest of this thread will go is that people will argue over Healer in Need, how if everyone in your party does mechanics perfectly you don't need to heal, and not having enough buttons to press.

In all honesty, if you're looking for a real idea of how it works now, the Healer forum isn't the place to post anything anymore, absolutely anything, no matter what you post, will devolve into "healers are trash now."
