Reaching out to the Development Team about Feedback & Suggestions

Snip.

I believe they don’t want stacking shields because massive shields can nullify mechanics.
But at that point, they could always just have the smaller shield deactivate while a larger one is in effect. Something like - ‘galvanise effect is disabled while target is under the effects of a larger eukrasian prognosis/diagnosis’.

At that point, you could just give everyone GCD shields and regens. Then get rid of the designation of shield/regen healers. Let them stand on their own merits and playstyles instead of competing for arbitrarily segregated slots.

I posted in the wrong thread but to address this single point:

All healing roles already have both shields and regens, the Shield/Healer dichotomy is a pretty major failure in FFXIV.

SCH and SGE have more access to Regen than AST and WHM do...

The forums feel like talking to a brick wall at times. Healers hardly ever get any Q&A time during interviews or live letters, and the response is usually short sighted or inconsiderate. "Go heal ultimate". Continued feedback and the falling percentage of healers in the community eventually have to cause some reaction.
