Healers need an overhaul

[ty_taurus]

This is only the case when in low to high skill levels the balance is somewhat similar. And only the extremely skilled would be able to exploit the true strenght. Otherwise even for the relatively high skilled games, a lot of jobs will already be called useless. People always look at a skill level above them for building a meta, as that shows them there is room for improvement.

FFXIV has always been very consistent about balance though, or at least, not having jobs be unviable for nearly all of the game's lifespan. Consider that WHM for example who has quite literally nothing to offer that any of the other healers can't offer, and yet people were taking it into Ultimate during the world first race streams.

EDIT: Unrelated to this post above, Misshapen Chair has a new video as of yesterday that's not specifically about healing, but is definitely something important to the ongoing healer discussion, and I wanted to throw it down here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d_fMH9Lwvs
