The Healer changes for Endwalker are good

[Semirhage]

It doesnt have to be. Just has to be simple.

This is part of the endless, endless cycle that ensures White Mage is the boring and terrible healer. Has to be simple -> should have a lower skill ceiling -> doesn't deserve higher output for less effort -> should be weaker than the others -> no utility to make up for being weaker -> ends up being less engaging, weaker, and less desirable than the others -> "why oh why is White Mage in such a bad spot, nobody could possibly have predicted this. Maybe something should be done to fix this state of affairs!" -> But whatever you do, it'd better be simple!

Round and round and round the circular logic has gone for expansion after expansion.

this is cool and all but WHM was the most fun healer out of the 3 while being the simplest.

that's subjective, I like playing ast more currently. I also consider sch to be easier to optimize correctly then whm.

Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare.

That's the opposite of my definition of "fun".

And if we want to get picky: Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare Glare while lowkey hoping someone fails a mechanic just to throw in a heal in between Glares. If anything, from a cynical point of view, that might as well be how the devs see it - they think most people fail mechanics consistently enough that healing is always needed, which would be....just a little patronizing

That's why rescue exists. Yank them into an AoE and suddenly "Oops! Gotta heal that!"

Clip Glare to avoid clipping Glare, that's 500 IQ.
