Some views on DPS balance that everyone cares about

[Vendalwind]

Renkei has a point here. To make it simple:

You cant regard the phoenix healing as a negative. Whether you control it or not, it is only a gain. And when it works, it works well and too the benefit of the whole party without any downsides or weaving required.

Lack of control over a positive feature is still positive. Sure its not worth making a big balancing point out of, but shouting its worthless is assinine

Like you said, it's not worth making a big balancing point about, so there is no point in even mentioning it. Pointless.
And again, like I've said in the past, healers are more than capable right now to top off the party on their own with the overabundance of healing skills they have. They definitely don't need the help of Everlasting Flight lol. It's just fluff at best. They could remove it for all I care. Red Mage can have something like it but as its own button.

Vercure is more useful as a DPS's healing skill because you can actually use it as intended. Not having control over a healing skill is technically a negative because...as it already means, you have no control over it when you need it. More than likely the effects apply when you don't need it, and it just ends up being a waste of healing.
