Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[Supersnow845]

As someone late to doing the role quests for healer in EW, man healer has the most breezy time. Same applies to doing normal difficulty content. And from my own limited experience in savage/extreme, I can't imagine it being more than that in ultimate. As all you have is 1 spell to deal a chunk of damage, 1 dot, a buff spell for yourself and/or the party, and a bunch of heals/shields. Sure the window narrows for weaving and rotation and whatever as you race against enrage, but its not like playing a red-dps where the rotation is way more involved. Even as simple as summoner is, playing a healer feels simpler where the only difficulty comes from the people in your party getting hit by stuff that could have been easily avoided.

And thats not a slight against other people who play healer a lot. As it just feels like I am not really mentally engaging with the content, that I am mentally disconnected from it when I am playing healer.

Welcome to the healer sub forums entire problem with healers

We would like classes who’s skill ceiling isn’t their skill floor and give us a means to engage with them that doesn’t amount to 11111211111111 while watching Netflix on the other screen

Which I don't blame you all and its appreciated you do play healers. Like I agree the solution isn't difficulty in the fights, it should be from having a meaningful rotation that isn't the black mage equivalent of spaming ice 3 and thunder 3. Like I just can't help but think of his stance against dots of, "Well if your not applying dots what are you doing?" and the easiest counter is dpsing/healing/rezzing, like if I could give healer's some semblance of old summoner's kit I would as it would at least make for meaningful gameplay.
