General Healer Discussion [The Echo Chamber]

[AmiableApkallu]

I largely agree, its the quintessential FF healer so absolutely needs to be accessible. But that doesn't mean it can't have a high ceiling; and DPS complexity is where that ceiling could come in to play

All it takes to keep WHM as the easy and accessible healer is to maintain its core healing skills as "restore 'lots' of HP after damage hits" and to make those skills available on demand. Which is to say, all it takes is to leave the Lv.50 healing kit (Cure, Medica, Regen) well enough alone. It's an intuitive model of healing that works well as long as single hits don't delete entire HP bars.

The DPS kit could be a tangled mess that'd give optimizers a run for their money, but so long as its obvious how to do the "healer" part of a job that's called "healer," it'd be fair to say that the job is easy and accessible.
