It's the weirdest box to cage the healer role in, and it's so anti-reality that it hurts my brain.
    It's because FFXIV is **extremely** casual from the get go, despite the game telling you in multiple instances that DPS as a healer is recommended. The bar for job competency is extremely low.

    It's not just a healer thing. The general playerbase as a whole is pretty bad. I was in Tower of Zot yesterday and I, as a Sage, did more damage on trash packs AND bosses than both of the "DPS".

    Yes I think one or both were new, and I completely understand that, but by level 80 you should at minimum know a basic ST rotation and AoE rotation. That's not asking for much.

    Hell, I even joked at the beginning when they said they were new: "The goal is to do more damage than the healer". They failed that goal that day.

    CBU3 and repackaging removed abilities and giving them back later. Name a better duo.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
