Has anyone quit healing?

[MiaShino]

Got that "fast ques" accusation thrown at me recently too when i summarized Healer problems under a r/FFXIV tweet. The funny part is that i literally have like 100 WHM weapons sitting in my Glam coffer and its filled with Healer exclusive glam, mained WHM for the entirety of ShB and now SGE for ENW and the stuff i talked about are issues you might not even realize as a "DPS player who wants fast ques" but yeah i just want fast ques, right.

And even if you were a "DPS player who wants fast ques" why the frick would you play a healer? The most boring jobs in terms of DPS. Tanks at least have a rotation and with how overtuned their HP sustain is you don't even have to rely on a healer paying attention anymore.

Should probably gently remind them that those fast queue times exist only because the role is underplayed. If the role is underplayed perhaps this is for reason, no? Have almost always gone support and well.. faster queue times are nice and partially factor (hey hey we disserve something) most of why I play healer/support is because it tis fun. Also because it should be difficult which right now it is not.

heads up folks, if you're unhappy with healing, I've asked a healer question on page 9 of the live letter thread, get it upvoted and if the stars align we might get an answer

Could be cleaned up a bit to be a bit more concise, but it's hard to argue the points.

I wasn't sure how to make it shorter ^^; written word isn't my strong suit. Its why I've been holding off the updated summary of healer issues (aside from RL being one gut punch after another in the last 6 weeks)

I can tell you right now, no matter how much this gets upvoted, they will skip over it, and if, IF, it gets answered it will be with an extremely non-answer.

I find it amusing how so far, it's the most upvoted entry in that thread.

Which is going to make it sting all the more when he inevitably ignores it.

I'd take a slower queue if it meant getting some of the fun back any day of the week. Give my WHM back their Stoneskins, Protect, and Aero 3. Give SCH back Selene, Virus, Eye for an Eye, Miasmas and Shadowflare. Give AST back it's old card mechanics and Disable.

Let us have our fun back.

I fully expect it will be ignored. If an intern accidentally misfiles it so it does get answered, then I get to be pleasantly surprised

and if it doesn't, well I was wondrering how high up the like counts would go.

I really hope not. It’d be outright obnoxious of them to ignore it despite the amount of upvotes it gets.

I'm likely going to ditch healing myself, as I found a static composed of some old friends. WHM is the only healer I have at cap so far, and... really feeling like it's just not for me. Probably going to be the DNC for the group once I get it up nicely and they consider me ready.
