Square Enix doesn't care about healers, but Blizzard does. The oppression of FFXIV healers ends today. Join War of Warcraft for the glory of healers.

Mmm, no.

I've heard enough horror stories about ability gutting starting all the way back in Cataclysm to know no one needs to touch that anymore.

I also like DPSing as a healer in XIV. I also think XIV does a better job giving new players space to breathe in their levelling progression (at least for ARR).

My complaints are about endgame, which echo out into any game's player retention and longevity. If I want a trashpile of outdated systems designed to gate people rather than respect their time, I'll play Oldschool Runescape. At least then I know it's because the community asked for it.

Hearing from someone usually gets you wrong impression about things you don't know.

I promise you the things I listed for healers are still there. Just watch how raiders raid instead of watching refugees complaining how bad WOW is. We all know it to well people tend to over exaggerate when they complain. Not to mention most complaints have nothing to do with engaging healer gameplay.

As a recent WoW player I can attest to the fact that the healers in WoW all play with similar levels of complexity and up from 3.X healers in FFXIV. Holy priest is the most basic, but it still juggles more DPS spells than current WHM while healing, and has actually interesting and well-designed healing abilities. My personal favorite is Monk, where your entire game plan is maintaining MP via melee attacks while managing your burst heals, AOE heals, regens and soothing mist uptime. I'd highly recommend looking into it even if you don't want to play WoW.

Say what you will about Blizzard, but their healer design is very Chef Kiss worthy.
