Just remove healers.

[ForteNightshade]

Well too bad for them. You queue as a healer, then just like a real combat medic, you're not as important as the guys with the belt-feds until something goes wrong. But when things do go wrong -- as they often do, in Duty Roulette -- you are priceless.

A combat medic is a design approach healers mains want as a compromise; a role who heals when necessary but otherwise has meaningful contribution in other areas.

This isn't how healers function in FFXIV. Your "meaningful contribution" is spamming the same button a bazillion times and trying not to die from boredom. A DPS player is always reasonably engaged, regardless of the content. Even tanks, though significantly less so due to the infrequent amount of tank busters, are engaged enough as they can fall back on a DPS rotation. Healers... have nothing. There is no DPS rotation nor an engaging set of tools. You have a binary: Babysitter or gimped DPS with one button; occasionally two.

But you have already proven you don't understand the Sage DPS kit, and I'll just let it go at that.

Are you really going to argue Eukrasian Dosis III every 30 seconds and two charges of Phlegma make up an engaging DPS kit? If so... that's utterly laughable. Warrior has more buttons worth pressing compared to that and it doesn't have many.

Before you mention Pneuma. It's the same potency as Dosis III. So you aren't engaging with it for DPS purposes but to avoid GCD healing. One of the few good healing concept they've implemented over the years but it's not going to make up the monotony that is spamming Dosis III 500+ times in Alliance raids. That isn't an exaggeration by the way. I've checked. One button pressed 500 times. Riveting gameplay, I assure you.

I'm guessing you didn't do P3S at the least yet.

P3S has been solo healed. In fact, it's arguably easier because tanks do the fountain mechanic better than healers. They take significantly less damage from each explosion and can invuln half the mechanic. Warrior can literally heal itself to full through three tower soaks with only two buttons. Equilibrium, for example, heals for over 150k with that buff. As for Life's Agony. You won't even see that in a good group nowadays, especially not with five DPS. Even if you do, AST negates its existence. Otherwise, you'll have healer LB3.

P4S is the only fight this tier where you have to outright gamble due to the fire stacks. You mitigate your odds by putting the one healer with a tank and shielding the hell out of them. At that point, you have a 1/6th chance of dying. Phase 2 has zero healer specific mechanics.
