With regards to healer and buttons and stuff, while there is a debate towards the gameplay experience of the current card system, I think AST is on the right track despite its infamy: a little more to keep you engaged when the damage isn't coming in.

Basically, I'd like to see them do something to make the healers more engaging when you aren't healing. I think if it's too clunky like AST on Shadowbringers release, it will turn people off, so nothing quite that extreme. It can't be such that your job hinges on it, because it has to be able to operate in the hand of someone new to healing or under crisis. SCH in Stormblood was close to what I'd like: it was kind of like a "DPS Lite", with some DoTs to keep up and a trait with some forward feedback on your oGCD spell. I don't think Scholar in 6.0 has to have its Stormblood kit back, but I'd like if they could make it more involved.

WHM... not sure. I don't mind there being a super basic healer. I find it too boring to play, but as someone who mains WAR I respect there being a very simple healer for those who want one. Like if they did something to make lillies more interesting, like maybe if attacking would cause them to flourish a little more quickly.


On the topic of healers, I'd like them to maybe take another look at what MP means. MP and Piety are kind of meh design-wise. I like that in PvP they went with a direction of making your back attack spell and heal free and I think it could be applied to PvE; it could certainly help justifying the existence of the tier 1 healing spells if they were made free, and MP was made into a more exciting resource. Like if some of the oGCDs had a hefty MP cost in addition to their CD, it could make actually stopping to cast spells more enticing. Just something worth thinking about for the next expansion.
