Ouch, what an ugly opinion about being a healer.

I picked with my Main (back in summer 2015) the starting-class Conjurer out of free will - and never regretted this decision up to this day.

Might be because I played FF3 / 4 / Tactics Advance / A2 / all 13-parts before joining ARR a ka HW, but I always feel very comfortable with commanding a healer instead of tank / attacker / supporter.
->Especially when I know an instance, I think I can do the most for a group when I care for their HP--- explicitly when I happen to play a Shieldhealer, I can prevent unnecessary deaths.
(It's also a relief when I don't have to ask a healer for throwing now and then an attack, to be honest. I think as long as everybody isn't in danger, healers should definitely feel free to attack.)
