A summary of healer issues

[QooEr]

I think part of it comes up to how the question is asked.

If it's "(some) healers are bored" or "healers suck", there's not much to say other than "Oh well?"

"im bored" should not be responded to with "do ultimate". ever, really. difficulty should not be conflated with how engaging or fun something is. UCOB is one of the hardest fights in the game, and i think the fight is miserably boring for the first 11 minutes of the fight. conversely i actually had fun doing titan and shiva unreal. hell, i used to have fun doing leveling dungeons as scholar back in HW and stormblood.

someone in another thread said something that i think should be taken more into account when telling the devs that we find healing insufficient.

Any professional dev team has a laundry list of 'ideas for things they could do'. The probably have pages of discarded ideas, implementations, etc. that just didn't fit. Heck, nearly every idea we've proposed they've probably already considered at some point or another. They don't need our ideas.

And they don't need to know numbers - because their analytics and data can tell them that.

The one thing they do need, [...] is how playing the game makes us feel.

if healers feel healing is boring, thats probably the most concerning feedback they can get. they can have all the participation metrics in the world, but without so much as even a survey they cant really tell if the majority are enjoying healing, or if as you yourself put it, merely tolerating it. i dont think the LL question itself was worded perfectly, mind you, but thats because its ONE persons feedback thats representing many who at the very least agreed on the sentiment that healers are boring.

if anything we should be telling the devs that healing, is in fact, still boring even in ultimate. glare and broil and dosis and malefic 150 times is boring. pressing a single spell more times than every other skill combined is boring, no matter the difficulty of the fight.
