Has anyone quit healing?

Lets contribute to longer qeue times for DPS and make the healer role even less popular than it already is, great solution. I wish people like you were the ones designing this game. I'd unsub in a heartbeat.

95% healer 5% dps play fyi my gear explains alot and its a problem if i want to play another job? so you are allowed play dps and I cant is what your saying, how ironic, you can always unsub now if your upset about long dps queues no one is stopping u. Reality check I dont play dps in solo queues period I only play dps with trust system or with friends. 100% healer all the time for solo queues.

What I've noticed recently is that the quality of healers have also gone down significantly. Every healer just spams their medical 2 equivalent after every raid wide/mech and not use their overabundance of ogcs. Mind you this is in savage not normal content so they have had time to learn. I've also been recruiting for my static and I can not find any healers lol. I'm probably going to be forced to heal cause we can't find any healers and pf healers are so bad.

I've noticed that for years. Whenever I'm not healing, I always seem to get those terrible healers that drove me up a wall with how incompetent they were and it's been getting worse and worse each expansion. It's just currently at a fever pitch because vet healers are so fed up with the current asinine design philosophy of healers that they're quitting, hence this entire thread. The classes that we once loved have become hollow shells of their former self that a lot of us just stopped bothering with it so there's no one left to take up the mantle anymore. It feels more like a punishment to play healer than it does an engaging class to master because the only thing really to master is memorizing the pattern that the enemy uses so you can sit there spamming 1111111 until the duty is done.

I would sit in hour long queues if it meant I had more to do than Spam Glare for 8 minutes.

I haven't said you're not allowed to, I just said it's not a solution to the problem. It just causes more problems.
Also funny you mention trusts because i literally fell asleep leveling SCH through that system.

yup all trust lvl 90, its actually fun sometimes moving slower on a dungeon than rushing it, as dps you can fairly still move fast if urianger is the healer cause his regens are busted, alphi cant manage big pulls however and strangely his sage role is worst than his sch role, his sage shields do not crit and he lacks ogc heals it seem compared to his sch job. this is the one time i vote sch to be good cause alphi was a op sch. Alphi sage needs some buffing, glad they at least gave alisaie back flip as in shadow bringers she didnt use that and would eat them oranges real quick.

Remember back when HW was released, the developers explicitly said that Ast and Drk were for higher skill players? funny how that has come crashing down

It's weird to even think they once intentionally wanted to have a few higher skill ceiling jobs. Now accessibility rules across to board, except for some reason, BLM.

Could be because it’s yoshi p main job……. And also nin/mnk are also a bit funky too play in comparison too the other jobs.

My last savage tier as a healer main, sad to see. Gonna try a melee dps to main going forward. Waiting to see what changes they make to monk and choose between reaper/sam/monk

No, in fact, I heal more as a White Mage. I'd argue more Healers have quit to become Sages as I do not consider them real healers anyways. Every time we get a Sage in our Party I pray we have a Red Mage or Paladin because they are much better healers then Sages and at least Red Mages has revive and make up for the Sage being a horrible DPS class that they should of just made a DPS like a Bard.

Where is this wonderland you're seeing WHMs healing more in decent gameplay performance?

In the same place that RDM are better Healers than SGE apparently. I've seen some god awful healers and it's usually the WHM more than SCH/AST and even SGE
