I don’t see how people enjoy the healers in the MSQ either like ignoring being scared of the harder solo duties healers in the MSQ are just ungodly boring

Everyone hates those solo duties where you play a truncated kit of another class by playing as that character (Alphinaud, alisaie, graha, thancred, hein, Y’shtola etc) well those kits are on average more interesting than a healers kit

Longer solo duties playing as the WOL even on very easy are pathetic
-vs Zenos
-the WOL portion of the zero duty in garlemald
-the WOL half of the duty you play as y’shtola
-when you have to play as urianger

Even the MSQ is crap as a healer

That's why I, a former die-hard healer main, have always done MSQ on a DPS and switched to healer for dungeons. The MSQ fights are unbearable as a healer.

See, I've done All MSQ since ... oh Haukke, as Healer, because back during release 2.0 there was no roulette. You either had to find people standing outside the dungeon or just click the duty and wait, sometimes as long as an hour for a queue to pop. Meanwhile, Healer queue was instant. So was tank queue.

All the roulettes wound up doing is getting people who don't want to play healer, to play healer and tank, to complain about how boring healing is because it's not a DPS, or complain about tanking not doing enough damage. For the last few years though, the roulette's have generally looked like "needs tank" except for alliance raid which is the only queue that ever switches to "needs healer" and "needs DPS", all the rest of the queues will alternate between tank and healer, and never DPS.

2.0 MSQ stuff, even the solo stuff, was miserable as a healer. Absolutely awful. Because the game designed the MSQ to be played as DPS. The healer and tank would not have these DPS stances for those solo duties if that was not the case. When they finally did away with Cleric stance, it stopped being "extremely miserable" but you're still looking at 5-10 times longer to do solo stuff, and good grief are the solo Zenos fights tedious.

The entire reason I leveled scholar/summoner was so I would have the option to switch to summoner IF the content was too hard to do as healer, owing to how the MSQ was in 2.0. I've never "needed to" but the option was always on the table.
