He gotta be a healer hrothgar until healers get reworked and hrothgar/viera be able to wear all the headgears in game.

I've got mixed thoughts on all these healer topics.

On one hand yeah I can see healer mains getting bored unless doing end game content. However with the amount of times I see healer mains also say they only party with FC mates or statics because random ppl through DF is too much work I sometimes think many of them are causing their own boredom. When party members only take damage from unavoidable attacks you generally end up needing to heal very little outside of the tank. Non EX/Savage/Ultimate content is easy in most cases however I still frequently see healers that can't even handle pulling 2 groups of trash in a 4 man duty and healers in non ex/savage/ultimate 8 player duties or 24 player duties that go in with the mentality that they are just a DPS with a green icon.

This is one of the instances where it's important to balance BOTH ends of the gameplay. You need to drive the engagement early on so as to have them enjoy staying as that job, and only healing =/= engagement. It eventually becomes a chore at Lv 70 onwards when you have more varied kits. I can attest to this since I was leveling my alt as a WHM, and BOY. Doing some of the Lv 50 dungeons feels like I'm being drained for no reason and my MP has a tendency to get so low I almost run OoM on large pulls because of it. Outside of that quality of life for WHM's MP early on, they only turn into Green DPS as Tanks get more tools to mitigate progressively, up to the point in Lv 90 where they honestly don't care because they can full-clear a dungeon with 3 DPS and 1 WAR/PLD, including the new dungeon.

What makes you think he doesnt already? Yoshi plays all the content himself.

As a BLM. Do you think he has healed before in a raid or dungeon setting? We don't know because we've all known him as a DPS. Wonder why Healers haven't gotten revamped to not be 1 DoT 1 Nuke? Probably because the job hasn't been properly looked at like BLM has the past 6 years. They're afraid of job complexity since Heavensward, when Healers were at their finest.

Oh definitely. He probably swap to healer once in a while, just like those FCmates/Friends we all have when they're helping dailies---those who only swap to healer when it is needed... but that's not what people here asking for. Folks wants Yoshi to play healer and stop touching DPS for a year, essentially maining it.

There's a difference between maining and playing a job once in while. (i.e. "I guess I can heal for this roulette.")

White mage really needs some improvement....

[Darthgummibear]

Yes absolutely, and in no way shape or form should he let the players know who he his while doing it.

[Nizzi]

Well, if we as players are expected to have no issues with healer gameplay being 1-2-1-1-1, surely Yoshida won't have an issue with it as well. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, right? Play Ultimate and suffer, Yoshi-P!

I raise the stakes even HIGHER.
He can ONLY wear head gear on the Hrothgar.

Now that's just cruel.
