Do you want healers to be reworked from the ground up?

well that depends upon how you define a "proper" healer - in this game I would say that it is one that heals and does DPS. I certainly don't want to spam heals throughout a run. I certainly am up for an intense phase of healing when necessary but I far prefer a mix of heals and DPS.

There are certainly other games that are designed around pure healing roles in most of their content but I would hope that FFXIV doesn't adopt that design direction.

It starts already with the word “healer” . Like fights have so mutch downtime that if you even want too keep people always on 100 % you effectively can only heal in must fights for ages the tank. Wow did handle healing there better, because there is always aoe dmg happening and really heavy dmg spikes that if you do mythic raids and don’t mitigate them you just die and it doesn’t have mana regeneration abilities. You have to conserve mana as mutch as possible because a lot of bosses do the most dmg at the end of fights, so you don’t try to overheal like mad. In healing regards wow is way more ahead then ff 14 and healer do get a lot of fights cool stuff to do and not heal too 100 % or wipe stuff
