Final Fantasy XIV’s healer problem and how it’s kind of unsolvable

[Seraphor]

I don't think most healers would mind having less dps if they were given tools to increase the party's total dps (Read: Proper SUPPORT skills). You know, like the AST cards that were taken away. . .

Perhaps instead of taking away that interesting gameplay from AST, it should have been expanded to the other two.

Can't be balanced.

If you have viable support skills like The Bole or Ewer, then either it becomes an essential part of their skillset, in which case being on RNG is a massive problem, or it becomes inconsequential fluff, which is what it was.
