To be honest? I think one of the issues is how clunky healing actually is. In Effect, your heal spells would be your oh shit button if shit goes wrong and run out of other ressources, but healing casts are fairly slow in this game. There is also the issue that the entire Makro System is broken and mouse over healing is pretty clunky when seriously, mouse over healing should be the standart for MMOs right now. Outside of maybe very new beginners who haven't run into addons yet, you will not see people lovering themselves to tab target healing in WoW, because its just not an effective method of targeting very specific, changing targets. The way FF14 healing in general has evolved to work, use your cds first and your casts for oh shit moments, is also counter intuitive and something not teached to players by the game, because CBU3 is on full on copium that people don't hate and resent sylphies with a passion.

To all of you, if you see a healer in a dungeon who fully dedicates to healing and never ever dpsing, do you think "Oh, they're is so focussed on healing and supporting us, such a great person" or do you end up being annoyed because you know this will just drag the run?
