Healer dps makes dungeon runs quicker. Obviously.

FFXIV healer charm comes from the target switching, from enemy to ally. The constant juggling of dots, hots and awareness of healthbars and enemy telegraphs.

Problem is once you get to a certain practitioned point, you will see that you essentially spend most of your duties pressing either your AoE button several times in a row or your single target Spell several times in a row all the while throwing some eventual instant cast on the tank to sustain him/her.

And this won't change from 50 to 80. You will spend every encounter spamming your slightly differently coloured single target spell and refreshing your DoT forever.

And you can forget about dispelling debuffs. Dispellable debuffs at 80 happen so rarely it barely warrants having esuna on your Action bars.
