    It's kinda sad to see that an awful P2W MMO had somewhat more engaging healer gameplay than what we have.
    At this point, BLU is the most engaging Healer in the game.

    its not even ironic, its true.
    Once in a while a blu party pops up and I play blu healer and its fun. Especially the time i solo healed a blu party as blu healer vs omega v3. That was an absolute blast and pushed my rusty healer skills to the limit.
    I probably could have done better but I still dont have strotram :P

    I haven't met someone whose done BLU healer yet that dislikes it vs the current healers

    It really is.

    Covers all the healing basics.

    Has buffs and debuffs for the group

    Robust damage options.

    Their only downside is the LONG CD on rez. Personally I think it should be removed with the healer mimicry.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Honestly, if BLU wasn't handicapped into being 10 levels below cap, I could say I would do end game with BLU as a Healer. Rez being 5 minutes is a bit of an issue for Prog but I'll take a tougher prog over the snore fest that is current healer design.
