    But I like the shielding/regen stances, the other two have simialr skills and oh yeah, they removed most of the other defining aspects already so that seems to be a long shot.

    Unpopular(?) opinion but outside Seraph, Noct AST feels to me more of a barrier healer than SCH. Gutting the cards was a huge blow and if they ever remove Noct too then the job is as dead to me as BLU.

    so apparently the only option that doesn't "stress the newbies" is either pressing 1211111111, or do nothing at all.

    It all depends on the way the FFXIV devs want to go forward.

    If they stick with the Shield /Regen healers: AST will have to lose one and the new healer will have to be the opposite.

    If they ditch the Shield / Regen (IMHO should be buff / debuff based healers): They add a new healer and not much changes.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
