Is it fun?

[Deceptus]

I see a lot of people talking about the balance of healers and how they can make them all play evenly, but I never see people asking the better question. Are they fun to play? I have been playing healer more since the queues are faster and I enjoy it well enough but it seems over the years the more we moved towards balance of the healers, and other jobs, the less fun they become. When you log in and select your character and the world is loading, are you genuinely excited to get in the world and play your job? Or are you thinking about what kind of DPS numbers the job has and if you should just change to something with better numbers? The fact the people change back and forth between jobs nearly each patch because of the numbers suggests to me that no one is really enjoying the way each job plays, most are just doing the math and playing what has the highest DPS.

Fun? Absolutely not.

Are they functional? I guess, but "fun" they are not.

In dungeon content, they're overpowered. So much so you can go entire runs without even using multiple abilities.

In higher end content, almost everything is pre-planned so as long as you can do the dance you're still spending a majority of your time spamming a single GCD damage spell. Again, not fun.

You can clear any Dungeon even as a Conjurer (even with mass pulling). I don't have solid proof for this but i tested this so far on any ShB Dungeon, and a few SB Dungeons (ran those with randoms btw during daily roulette on expert,lv80 and50/60/70).

Medica 2 and Cure/Cure2 are more than enough to cover for pretty much anything Dungeon Content has to offer, thats how easy things have become already. Even with the new dungeon out from Patch 5.5, the first thing ill do is running it as Conjurer just to see if they have improved on anything, but i highly doubt they do.
