I'm bored when I heal because I need more complex DPS rotations

[Tint]

Because we had those and square deleted them because they couldn’t balance them

They never even tried to balance them because "WHM is not allowed to have support skills because of reasons"

----

However, I am not interested in a real complex dps rotation. Yes I am bored when healing because spamming Glare is well - boring. But a real complex dps rotation would lead to a conflict with the healing part of the healer job. You can see this on BLU or in Bozja. You have to decide between healing or doing a proper burst phase when the raid buffs are comming up. Not an ideal situation.

Getting back a second DoT would probably be enough already to make dpsing less boring. We never had such an unsatisfied healer community back when we had access to Aero 2 and Aero 3.

[1] I mean... do they need support skills / buffs (referring to Chain Strat and AST cards)? I think it is good that we have jobs like WHM and SGE that have solid personal damage and a healthy amount of non-DPS-costing healing to keep the stream of damage going while doing a more than passable job keeping everyone alive.

[2] A dps rotation or a BLM/RDM esque spell loop would not be at odds with healing at all, especially when you consider all the systems we now have in place that ensure combos (if available) dont get interrupted [see PLD changes to Holy Spirit/Circle, Clemency, Atonement and ranged attack for every melee/tank] and having a pause due to an actually necessary GCD heal wont ruin your rotation for the next 6 minutes. We have so many oGCD healing and mitigation options that we could ABSOLUTELY do a full dps rotation if desired, I mean look how often we press our filler damage in a fight compared to GCD heals combined.

[3]Eh... "just" Aero III wouldn't cut it. Most people played AST-SCH, the former having a solid card system and the latter having a conditional third dot with high MP cost that was stronger than Ruin II for the purpose of movement/weaving AND SHADOWFLARE did a lot.

Also WHM Aero II being 18s and Aero III being 24s broke the monotony more than any of the 30-45s dot memes we have nowadays. If only they understood how dumb 30s dots are...
