MSQ Difficulty and Exclusion

[Semirhage]

Lots of classes are not designed well. I loved Summoner in Stormblood. Hated it ever since.

Good for you for quitting playing a healing class when you didn't like it. Much as I did with Summoner. Get enough other healers on board and the devs might notice.

If you go into a dungeon as a healer role then yes your primary job should be to keep the party alive. Whatever DPS you can do is gravy. If healers are failing at the primary job then yeah there are many people who will look at it and say why make the situation worse than it already is for healers not healing. It is common sense.

I'd say "primary role" is a stretch. I still occasionally drop into a roulette as a healer to show a friend what I'm talking about. Healing in this game is so hilariously easy that I've regularly rolled into roulettes and not touched a single healing GCD. Not one. The party remained alive, nobody was in danger, and every single spell cast was Dia or Glare (or Misery if I'm in that level range and dumped lilies between pulls). I ran Vanaspati while leveling Scholar and got a WAR who point blank asked me not to heal. So I didn't. Not even Fairy abilities, not even off-GCDs. And we made it through the dungeon without anyone even close to dying.

We're waaaaaay past this "Well healers need to learn to do their PRiMArY RoLe" hokum. Primary role is healing? Please. It needs to happen maybe once or twice a minute in a -mediocre- party in content below Savage.
