Also an extra reminded

Majority of healers have "statics" full of people or equal skill + quick learning etc, so "they" rarely will adventure out away from this static when it comes to raiding

There is a massive difference between "pug" raiding and being in a "static" raid for years ...of course the "static" raid will make thinga boring over time because players will "rarely" make mistake over time and you have a competent co healer + tanks and strong dps

Now when it comes to "pugs" ohhh boy , you often spend more time "healing" and "raising" due to things go badly quickly

The problem lies i think certain people have became too comfortable around their statics (not a bad thing, but it does turns those players to have blinkers equipped only) when reality under the "pug" healers are completely fine...well in severe cases can be VERY stressful to even heal them at times

People need to take a step back as see this from a 3rd perspective , ffxiv is a casual game where u can drop in and out anytime, and even yoshi p have stated this, and its been like this since arr where u can drop in and out

Now i understand people want more "complexity" or more "challenges" but SE have done that in the past and it destroyed alot of statics ....they did this in HW times with Alexander : Midas , since then SE vow to never make that mistake ever again, and this was what the community wanted

So as i said the healer role needs to be seen in 3 lights

static raiding
pug raiding
