How would you solve the boring "damage rotation" of the healers?

[Zairava]

They WON'T be able to.

That was the point.

Well, sorta - that wasn't even the argument. The argument HAS NEVER BEEN "someone just hitting glare over and over again". At any point. "Refreshing Dia, using PoM on CD or with party buffs, using Misery under buff windows, using Assize on CD unless small delays can be used to improve healing" is not "someone just hitting glare over and over again" and never has been.

And as I say, there are cases where healers, doing that currently optimal stuff, have barely made it through an enrage because PF be like that sometimes.

It's not hard to explain at all, and I have explained it. Rejecting the explanation doesn't make it cease to exist. And no one can explain something to you when your refuse to listen.

Bro, my dude.

The amount of dps needed to meet enrage is down to balancing and whether or not too many people made mistakes and died. Not because joe blow decided to not press Dia at exactly the 5 minute and 43 second mark to get .017% more dps.

Assize is on a 40 second cooldown and is an oGCD, the DoT is 30s long and you only need to worry about refreshing it outside that if you're going for fractional increase in dps. If these are your ideas of "shaking up the boredom of having one single GCD spellcast to use ad nauseam" then that is as barebones as barebones gets.

For someone who repeatedly babbles on how "people aren't listening" you sure didn't listen to when I said I'm a below average healer who is bored by how they are currently structured and would like to be more engaged.

"normal mode content"?

This discussion has never been about "normal mode content", either, now has it?

Have you actually read any of the posts you're replying to?

Yes, have you?

Care to explain how they won't be able to handle a couple more dps buttons to make the healing downtime there will always inevitably be more entertaining then? How they won't get over that, despite still being able to glare/broil/etc. spam and ignore the rest if they so chose? Even in EX healbots can be carried doing almost no dps at all by a competent group.

They will still be able to clear normal mode content just fine even if the healing was more demanding like it was in the past (which, ironically, was also the period they handled more dps tools). There's also the matter of the overwhelming amount of time spent using glare/broil/etc even inside the high-end content.

Regardless, it doesn't discredit what I'm saying.

That being said, let's take normal mode out of the equation.

The only players interacting with the amount of dps to matter are the players already doing savage and above content, of which are the players most interested in optimization the everliving piss out of their job or role. So why in the hell would it matter for the players that don't? And outside of week 1 and 2 progression, it begins getting easier to clear these dps checks due to power creep, of which healer dps can be carried.

Alternatively, have you read this thread? -> https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...mplex-DPS-kits

You should.

Yes, and you should read my reply to it where I said I don't think either need to be overly complicated.
