    Is boring. To anyone with functioning brain cells. How the devs, or any players for that matter, find that gameplay loop acceptable is wild to me.
    Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Tetra Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Dia Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Divine Benison Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Dia Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Assize Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Afflatus Solace... Dia... Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Assize Glare Glare Glare Glare Tetra? Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare.

    If you stopped reading that halfway through, you subconsciously think healers are boring and unwilling to admit it out of pride.

    This could be a fun game to play with people who think healers are great as-is and "healers should heal." Just type out a rotation exactly as FFLogs recorded it, and start a timer. See how long it takes for them to find a healing spell in the cacophony of Glares.

    Sounds like you need to run harder content or you need to stop letting the other healer do all the healing.

    I pulled a random blue tier log just now for the sake of argument. Both healers have near identical DPS and HPS percentiles. So neither "chad'd" the other nor were they top high end raiders. These are fairly average logs from E9S. In just three minutes, 68% of the White Mage's casts were Glare while 55% of the Scholar's were Broil III. They both spent more than half the entire first three minutes of Cloud of Darkness pressing a single button.

    "Well, that's just the first three minutes!"

    When they clear the entire fight, both percentiles drop by only 5-ish%. The White Mage still spent 64% of their casts on a single button. And this is Savage. While it may be the first floor, it's supposed to be difficult content. What's even worse is when you add Misery and Dia into the equation. At this point, over 70% of their casts are DPS abilities. All of which come from three buttons. Since you have Paladin listed on your profile. Imagine if all you pressed for roughly four minutes (64% of a 6:29 kill time) is Atonement. Not Confiteor, your 123 combo, Fight or Flight. Just Atonement... for nearly the entire fight with barely anything else weaved in.

    Welcome to why healers are upset.
