no idea so pissy healer I do guess

Because it says "spam dps when NOT casting heals." The hall of the noice does tell you it's your first duty to heal. But they also don't want you to stand idle when your team is not in danger. Not sure how that equals you should have anxiety about doing DPS.
Also, not sure what you think Forum wants when they ask for "DPS rotations". The suggestions here are quite simple. It's either adding an extra DoT to manage, which is not exactly stressful considering you have plenty of time to let it run its course, or just add another button to break down the monotoy of the Nuke spam. Nobody has ever asked for DPS job level of rotation that'd be insane. Not even tanks have those.

Isn’t that essentially what they’re doing though? Sage gets a new on-demand aoe DoT, White Mage gets…that thing it does instead of Glare, Scholar and Astrologian get a new attack ability (on a 120s cool-down lol). Wouldn’t those abilities only require minor tweaks (i.e not being tied to a 120s cool-down lol) to fit those criteria?

I’m not asking to be facetious or dismissive either which I know can be quite common sometimes on the forum lol. I’m just trying to better my understanding of the issue(s). Like, would it be enough if they made the two new DoTs on Sage/Scholar or the new attacks for White Mage / Astrologian into actual GCDs with MP costs?
