I don’t like posting WoW stuff on FF board, but I’m frustrated with the healers. I’m very surprised The FF design team didn’t use some of the concepts years ago. Side note: I’m on PS5 here so targetting is much worse. In WoW, I have mouseover macros for all healing and dispels. I can mouse over their party/raid frames to cast without clicking them.

The WoW healers IMO are more involved, diverse, and higher skill cap. Their kits are totally unique when you switch from one to another it’s an entirely new experience. Lots of Synergy between skills. The healers all have at least 5 dps skills, 3 movement skills, crowd control. You have to manage mana, other resources, and buffs.

Disipline Priest is ranged and does most of its healing by damaging mobs. hard to play well and has 8 dps skills. Ramps up healing. Their Penance skill channels while moving, dps’s on mobs, and heals on players, very cool for one key.
Holy priest is a ranged primarily reaction style healer the most straightforward and can have up to 7 dps skills.
Holy paladin is a melee healer with mostly melee and some ranged dps skills. Does some healing with dps skills
Mistweaver monk is a half ranged and half melee healer with insane mobility. Can do some of its healing with melee dps skills, some channeling
Restoration Druid is a primarily HoT healer with 5 different hots. Has three different forms bear, cat, and normal, can melee and ranged dps, several dots as well.
Restoration Shaman focuses on totem healing with several other cool healing tools.

If you want to see details look at the spell summaries, rotation/cd’s, talents sections in this guide.

I main disc priest (when I actually do play wow) and even regular, casual content is hyper engaging. I was super disappointed SGE wasn't more akin to it.

Total missed opportunity to not have kardia set up from your gcd heals. Hell just imagine how fun it would be if prog and diag could spread Kardia, and pneuma was a 10 sec CD or something that could be used like Penance in wow
