Have you seen WoW healing? If you miss 1 GCD someone in your team will likely die from random ass unavoidable AOE damage. How is that even fun? Not to mention that the WoW healbot classes literally cannot function outside of instances.

I honestly consider hybrid healers to be an improvement over the old heal bot concept from almost 20 years ago. There are issues with the healers in the 14 but that ideology in a vacuum is very enjoyable.
This is utter misinformation. There are certain "tankbuster" like crits or mechanics that cannot be missed...just like FFXIV.

And WoW healing classes have entire damage specs that can be instantly swapped into for leveling, DPSing, PVP, or whatever. Pretending that FFXIV healers have it better with one nuke, one DoT, and one AoE is sad. I don't get why FFXIV players have this huge inferiority complex about a game they never tried.

I would much rather need to heal a lot than spam glare over and over.
