Has anyone quit healing?

[Gariored]

I would but...I don't like wiping

I'm actually gonna take up healing again. Dpsing is too hard for me I don't know how people do it, healing is second nature to me, so I'm gonna stick with that.

That said I'm picking whm up again (I love the staffs and maybe AST Sch is meh now).

Out of curiosity, which DPS jobs have you tried?
I was a healer-main since ARR but switch to BRD at the end of SB and then to DNC at the beginning of ShB and didn't find the change over to physical-range too difficult.
I think the hardest part of learning how to play as a DPS class is learning how to do your opener and rotation as optimally as you can (and maybe learning to not look at the party's HP every 2 seconds >w>).
With the physical-range jobs you're cutting out having to learn positional and dealing with cast times.
RDM isn't a bad choice either, seeing as half your spells are going to be insta-cast.

I tried Bard, Blm, DnC, Smn and Mch.

Dpsing seems braindead easy until you add in without you everyone dies if the boss isn't killed fast enough then there's dodging mechanics while still doing optimal dps I can only do that on healer.

Respectfully of the DPS you listed that you play, Bard, MCH, and DNC are extremely mobile, summoner is moderately mobile and BLM is a cannon.

Everyone's mileage is going to vary but I'll share some of my own experiences. I'm a career healer who's essentially just been playing healer for the past god knows how many years. Transition to dps was hard. Ranged proc based classes like dnc and brd just didn't click. Spent all my time looking at my Hotbar and struggling with multitasking. For me at least MCH has been much easier on this end, but there's still a lot of tunnel vision during heat blast windows. SMN was a little overwhelming as well. Honestly the only dps you have in there where I feel I'd be comfortable with is BLM and that comes with the caveat that figuring out movement for that class is rough.
The easier dps to play for me have been SAM (that had that melee uptime learning curve but very simple positionals) and RDM that has an easy rotation and good movement.

Not that you shouldn't go healer, but if you find yourself bored out of your mind maybe try those last two dps.

I picked up MCH. It reminds me of BLM but more mobile a lot of burst damage.

I'm still gonna work on my whm however. Healing can be so fun at times. <.< I mean when people are dying and things hit the fan.

I quit pooping. Sure it happens but not by me. I no longer control it.

[Cled-cat]

Yep, healing is very boring in FFXIV now.

WHM feels better than ever, but then they made other healers more like WHM which feels silly. Why make other healers like WHM? If they wanted to play like WHM, they could just play WHM.
