Healer role design change?

[Sebazy]

There's absolutely a fundamental disconnect between the the way the job designers feel that healers should be played and the way that the battle design team incorporate healing into their fights.

The job design team seem to take a step forward with things like the current Lily system and Macrocosmos, but then completely and inexplicably drop the ball with things such as forgetting to update said Lily system with Endwalker's increased level cap and Glare III.

Be it ineptitude or just being stretched too thin, I've got no hope of them fixing things until either Yoshi/SE get start writing cheques and hiring or key people start getting replaced.

Healing is going to continue it's slide towards increasingly unanimous negativity until either the job or battle design teams makes a significant adjustment IMO.

I'm lowkey convinced none of them actually played a healer past lv 50, because ARR leveling roulette is the only time I even look at my gcd heals, let alone spam them in favor of dpsing. In part because we only have ~1 or 2 ogcd at that level (WHM has none), but also because tanks actually take a beating, and none of them can survive more than a few gcds without healing - looking at you, Stone Vigil, Dzamael Darkhold, and Aurum Vale.
