    My favorite moments on healers are when I work my butt off to make sure we're able to get the clear, I wish the game gave me more opportunities to feel like I was actually contributing and helping with my healing rather than just a "if I don't press an oGCD the party will eventually die". My favorite memories on any healers are all related to saving runs with my healing or preventing people from dying. I don't want content to be harder for casual players but I want the ability to shine, dang it!

    Trial Roulette: Cloud Deck
    Me on SCH.
    OT has broken gear and dies instantly to auto attacks.
    WHM co-healer can't stay alive to a single mechanic (and I legitimately mean not a single one despite marking myself with a marker to follow me).
    DPS are irrelevant since none have a rez and despite being capable of handling most mechanics, due to paper mache OT, they get targeted for Tank busters so, lot of rezzing on my part. Eventually, despite my best efforts, they start dying faster than I can rez while keeping MT alive. Most of the DPS get hit by chasing AoE mechanic and die at around 50%.
    LB3.

    OT goes down again instantly. WHM, to their credit, survived 2 mechanics before dying again. Once again party is going down one at a time so the fight is taking forever. I've stopped bothering to revive either the OT or WHM at this point and just try and force my way thru but Tank Busters are killing the group and Auto attacks on myself stop my casts periodically so I'm keeping myself and MT alive as best I can while party is left to the wind. Boss is only at 30% and we already have LB3 again so I let it rip to revive as many people as I can (group is essentially dead on both platforms and LB3 only revived the OT and 3 DPS but whatever). We keep going, autos are still hitting me so I can't cast half the time but we're slowly making progress. We get LB 2, melee DPS lets it loose at around 10%, 2 of the other DPS go down, leaving myself, MT, and 2 DPS. We almost die to the stack mechanic but just barely pull off the win.

    Most fun I had in recent memory on a healer because I actually had to carry so hard and this wasn't even the extreme version it was the HM and that's just sad af that I need people to suck just to have any sort of enjoyment on my healers.
