More buttons doesn't make the job more exciting to me, just more confusing. Give me a single-target spell and an AoE spell, maybe something fun I can fire off every so often (I do love Assize's animation), but don't have to think too hard about when to apply them so I can put that attention into watching the party's health instead. Even when everything seems to be going well, it can suddenly nosedive.

I wouldn't use healer for solo quest progression though. Use a DPS class for that, and level healer through roulettes instead - I'm needed more there and it's a more interesting way to level.




They didn't phrase it the best, and I don't agree with the "carried by the good people" statement, but people don't have to be intentionally making mistakes to give you something to do. They just make mistakes. It's inevitable. Therefore you have healing to do.

The amount of work varies greatly between instances - some are easy now, but others are actually still hard work depending on item synch and the state of your party.

Most likely healing isn't being tuned for endgame high-level play, but for the average player dealing with a non-expert team in dungeons.
And what kind of team is that? The brain dead one with the Summoner barely pulling 2.3k dps in AoE, never touching Pheonix or Bahamut, with the tank not having Blackest Night and not knowing what a cooldown is, with the Bard AFK the entire time and the party wont kick them because "reasons!"?

Just kill me now if they are tuning healing for that, because that's not gameplay, that insanity and idiocy being praised. Back in HW people actually had to pull their damn weight, and if you sucked you got kicked, PERIOD.

You cant handle more than one or two button's on healer? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You're joking, you HAVE TO BE.

I'm tired of the community being coddled and not being allowed to fail, if you suck you suck, you get kicked scrub, and you either quit, or you shore up and get better and figure out what you're doing wrong.

I play Healers in literally EVERY game I play, and do you know what I do in my downtime? DPS. Cleric? Flame Strike or smack the crap out of that Vampire with Cure Wounds. Dragon Age? Fist of the Maker or Bolt the ever loving s**t out of them, or freeze them and set them up for the warriors to shatter them?

Healer's dont just heal, never have, never will. We giveth and we taketh away, and nothing will ever change that.
