Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

they already can

Thrill of battle + Equilibrium crit.

Why do I even exist? As a sage I just accept it and give them Krasis so their Equilibrium can heal even more and I can feel like I accomplished that.

Managed to solo the final boss from 60% in Holmister while keeping my other two dps alive as a GNB with just Aurora and Heart of Light.

I wish I was recording that.

If I run expert roulette dungeons with friends, we go WAR and 3 DPS...

Healers are boring and verging on unnecessary. In ultimate content, I might need to use additional GCD healing, but even in the most difficult content in the game I spend the majority of my time dealing damage.

This continued refusal to acknowledge how poorly designed the role is as a whole has got to end.

The beauty of that double standard is they trust tanks [and physical ranged dps to an extend] are competent enough to be able to do their job while assisting the party if needed/whenever they can, but the role whose entire purpose is to assist the party is treated as if they literally can't manage to press more than ~4 buttons, 3 of which have a cooldown.

Healers/supports are generally joked to be the babysitter role in any other game, but in XIV, it feels they're the ones being babysat instead

Healers, you can help me by chopping the vegetables. Here's a plastic knife, and 3 peas to chop.

Just wait until you can do dungeons with 5 dps and the tank is optional too - bye bye holy trinity

Why put off until tomorrow that which you can already do today?

Thanks for attempting to fight the good fight.

Hopefully we see you around in the future!

Maybe we Healer Mains should all just go to Ultima Thule and give in to despair, so that we can create not another Endsinger, but a EndHEALER. A Raidboss you cant defeat, since it has arround 20 Healing abilities and it WILL only Glarespam you and occasionally DoT someone. You wont die to it easily, but you wont enjoy your stay.


Jokes aside, i really am curious how long Squeenix intends to remain stubborn about this garbage design on Healer Jobs, it cant be that hard to either reduce Healing to match all the content it is suppoest to cover or Buff said Content to match Healing parameters AT THE VERY LEAST, but theyre not even doing that.

Same. I'd like to come back to a game where healing is treated with the respect it deserves as one of the core pillars of the trinity
