    Which is too bad, holy priest in BfA/SL is my favorite healer to play in any game except Legion Mistweaver.

    FF is way, way better in most aspects to me personally, but healer gameplay is deffo not one of them.
    To be honest, I kinda feel like outside of the story, WoW is actually still doing a nice job in pve content compared to FF14, but class design is really their strong suit. Balance is an issue, but balance is also objectively harder in WoW compared to FF14 because there are many, many more variations to take into account.

    I honest to God would've given WoW a fair chance already but I can only afford one sub at a time right now. Which is a shame because I'm completely burnt out on XIV from how boring and safe its job design is. Guess I'll have to stick with Guild Wars 2 for now, it at least lets me play an actual DoT mage.

    I personally just switch which game I subscribe, depending on what I feel more like playing at the time. Though in two months from now the new expansion is upcoming, which on one hand means its the best time to start fresh and also they accompany it with a bonus xp event until then next week, on the other hand it also means you need the expac if you want to do any content outside of old open world stuff and random dungeons, because the game is more designed towards letting players jump fast into current content.

    If there's a shortage, the issue is they drove off their good healers and tanks years ago and replaced them with afk Sylphies and 0 mit baby's first blue melee dps. The afk Sylphies are being scared off because sometimes they actually have to do a little more than spam Medica II and Cure and the competent healers still aren't particularly tempted to come back and spam 1 inbetween babysitting tanks that melt away at simple tank mechanics. So no one is really enjoying it that much.
    I would guess that good healers and tanks are also probably more prone towards being in a static, especially since they would have a much easier time to find one.
