Sure, healers are the "caretakers", but when our responsability is not a major focus at any given time, why is it that they just press a couple of buttons with barely any interaction with anything? It's throwing rocks, corroding the enemy, using a skill that happens to deal damage while healing people a bit or giving you a resource back every so often. Anything else? Anything with substance? Because Afflatus Misery ain't it, chief.
Well, when P8S is on farm, yea, healing is fairly easy but during prof, I appreciate having a simple rotation. If I had to maintain a BLM style rotation, heal, do mechanics and emergency heals or Rez when people make mistakes my brain will probably go boom. As it was during prog, there were time when I had to fully suspend DPS to make sure we got through some tight checks.

I’ll agree when we have a perfectly tuned team on savage content that it can get mundane, but… most of the time, I’m fairly busy. One way I do spice things up is to allow dps or tanks to get greedy with some mechanics if I can heal through it.

Nothing like a healer flex when you can keep a BLM alive through the tankbusters
