Why is the healer class basically a one spell dps class?

[Recon1o6]

even ast's wanted their rotation improved. Remember we had 2 dots and 2 attacks and gravity back in hw (Combust 2 had a cast time and Combust 1 was separate and instant) and in SB we got lowered to 1/1 but gained lord of crowns and earthly star as ogcd attacks. Now we have 1 of each and gravity

Why is there this attitude that devs don't know or can't design the game? Has it occurred to you that this is what the majority of players wanted?

Because of player feedback over the years, this is what the current game is a reflection of.

Really? lets examine the evidence.

No player asked for the excessive homogenisation in shb
No monk demanded a broken job or more useless clutter. The devs ended up going back to square 1 in 5.4 because they never thought about what players actually want from monk.
No white mages wanted to get reduced to chucking rocks in sb, nor have their elements removed in shb turning them into a pure healer
No scholar asked for selene to get deleted and their dots removed and shields neutered, turning them into a pure healer
No astro requested their time magic deleted, cards reduced to requiring a parser, all balance cards and come 6.0 nocturnal deleted, turning them into a pure healer white mage with a coin flip
No dark knight asked to be turned into warrior in shb nor all the good uses of dark arts in hw removed in sb
No dps asked for bard to get neutered and machinist still has ping issues
Not a single person every expansion asks for skills to be moved higher in the levelling tree with a new coat of paint leaving an increasingly large amount of levels a chore.
Nobody asked for SHB to be easier and "accessible" given SB was widely seen as very easy with barely any challenge outside of suzaku TGcid and tsuki
No player asked for glamour to still favour tanks by miles
