    Sad part when it comes to Job Classes is Blue Mage is the most dynamic when it comes to Healer spec with like 8 actual Healing actions and the rest is all DPS. And every Healing Spell is GCD hard casted. You can actually have a fleshed out DPS kit outside of your Healing Actions which is huge.

    Inversely the actual Healers have 1-2 DPS actions and a couple GCD heals coupled with 20 OGCD Healing actions...that you'll never run out of because Tank sustain is much higher then the outgoing damage. Outside of Savage/Ultimate the most threatening thing you'll run into is a Wall to Wall pull.

    The only time you'll run out is low level content(lvl50) or if you are grouped with a abnormally bad group which by Endwalker should rarely be an issue.

    Bosses ironically hit weaker then random mobs.

    I've literally tanked bosses as both a DPS and a healer.

    "tank busters" barely take 20% of a tanks HP in dungeons. Aoe's tickle.

    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]
