Has anyone quit healing?

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

I was just poking fun... but now that I read your response, I hate how correct you are. ;_;

I was never a healer main but I used to played scholar pretty regularly. Not anymore. The only healer I can stand to play is sage and that’s just because it has something almost resembling a rotation. And even then, I only play it when expert roulette queue will be more than 10 minutes. All healers need a rework imo

It’s more or less the problem that people think whm is the easy baby healer but that’s so not true just because all the other healer have way better ogcds on a short cooldown and also people like instant ques plus a free carry a lot of times.

I don’t think a hard rework is necessary but at-least way more stuff too do in downtime. Pressing the 1 key over 150 times a fight isn’t fun and I doubt more then 5 % of the player base enjoy this kind of gameplay. Like I was a healer main since arr and after seeing how they effectively took out all the joy from stormblood going into shadowbringer, I forced myself to play shadowbringer as healer (it broke the 1 key on my keyboard twice in the entire expansion) and now I’m on meele and I actually feel emotions like joy and fun when I play. And I actually try too go for the 99 logs as meele we’re I never bothered in shadowbringer ( before shadowbringer I also never did raid ff 14 as week one and stuff, but I did the ultimates as they were actual content)

Honestly, my bar is set so low by now that a WHM is basically a god if they don't heal me with Cure I spam post ARR, occasionally stumble on their Holy button in dungeons (or let their cat walk over it, I don't care) and use an oGCD or two.
Because that's more than the majority of WHMs did that I had in PF for P1s/ P2s or in DF when spamming SB dungeons. I still have screenshots of WHMs only using their ARR skills in P1s... except Bene of course, because that one would be useful.

You have a bar still?
I just accept death is inevitable and get surprised when we live.

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.

Had a glance at your Pandemonium kills on a certain website. Since you're a tank, I filtered it to party Mitigation and Absorbs.

...You weren't even listed. Just saying

It's actually amazing how many bad whms there are. I've seen maybe 1 or 2 good whm since End Walker dropped. I'm glad whm is being catered to these horrible players

Always mained healers but kept swapping between them. In EW I decided to main AST as it has the most interesting and playful oGCDs, card micromanagement and also the most damage oGCDs (lolwhy?)

I found it quite entertaining and actually hard to execute perfectly. Playing the correct cards exactly into burst windows, knowing which jobs to prioritise in what order, reopener feeling like playing a piano masterpiece, not using lightspeed for movement cos its required for reopener, RNG being against me and giving shitty cards or only ladies....Plus people would randomly fuck up mechanics and needed a quick recovery... And that on repeat for each prog try/weekly kill. I must say it was exhausting And for what? Hardly catching up to Sage's rDPS who was yawning bored pressing his 1111, very unrewarding...

I will probably try samurai now as it seems the difficulty in optimization is still high but at least I get a break from babysitting mistakes of others and finally see some big numbers.

I still quite like the difficulty of AST tho I am sad its not rewarded by being top DPS, I guess it would be too powerful combined with the strong healing kit, no mana management and... Macrocosmos
