Has anyone quit healing?

[MisterNublet]

I'm stuck healing for my savage static, but I'll no longer play a healer in content outside of savage. Been playing support/healers in MMOs for 25 years, and healers in FFXIV are probably one of the worst ones to play.

I returned to the FF XIV after a year for the Endwalker (which was totaly worth it) and new healer. I finished the story and Sage isnt for me. I hoped that they will bring some important changes for the healers in a good way but that didnt happen.

I will be probably playing this game here and there until spring (6.1) and if i will not enjoy new PvP then I will probably take another break / quit entirely.

my first character was a conjurer, i will never stop healing.

Are they going to fox anything… I would just like to know so I can stop posting. From shadowbringers to endwalker I expected meaningful change and yes we saw some good changes like fixing fairy though it wasn’t enough.

I’ve been dabbing my toes into other mmos to see if there’s a better fit

Any suggestions?

Doubtful. They're incredibly pleased with healers being "balanced" so I'm honestly not expecting anything changing this expac, especially with the developers not addressing even the potency issues of WHM's lillies in 6.08. We'll get fixes that should've happened over the course of EW in 7.0 as our "big changes" and healers will stay these 1 button bores forever.

If you do find something that has fun healers, I would love to know!

Does healing with Warrior count?

Blue healers are exempt due to having different issues from Green Healers.

I've finally decided to call it quits and unsub. The devs have made it clear their vision of healers as one-button nukes with an over-bloated healing kit is here to stay and that won't be changing any time soon. Healing (ST-era AST and SCH in particular) was what drew me into FFXIV, and it was a great journey while it lasted. If the devs do eventually decide to make at least one healer interesting in the next expansion/ emergency redesign ect I'd probably come back, but otherwise I just don't see a reason to keep giving SE my money or time.

And that's really all we ask - you can have your super simple 1-button spam healers to make the role accessible, but does literally every single one of them have to play identically like that? The whole purpose of a class-based game is to cater to different preferences, the current state of the healer role is missing a huge, huge point.

Back when i played during 4.5, before the Healer "rework" was revealed i remember my FC members complaining about WHM's DPS because it was 1 button spam and boring. "AST at least plays its Yu-Gi-Oh! Minigame and SCH has a lot more DoTs & other stuff to keep track off". You do not want to know how much they were in disbelief once we knew about Healer changes for ShB.
