[*]Self-sustain and healing abilities given to other roles.
The choice/direction to give such abilities to roles outside of healer encroaches on the role.
WAR, PLD, GNB and Red Mage????
No other classes have any type of heals that would make healers completely worthless or easy to replace.
But you ever asked yourself why that it? Why tanks have that type of heals?
Small clue: To help the Healers.

[*]Over simplified DPS rotation
Every job in FFXIV has a 'filler GCD' skill that they press when there are no other requirements... etc
Ever asked why that is the case?
Small clue: People play with a controller. Do a full rotation on a controller while keeping the heals and target swapping in check.
DPS and Tanks dont need to worry about being on a controller and the rotation can be more or less complicated, you can macro the small bits but 99% of the fight you only target one thing: THE ENEMY.

[*]Homogenization of healer jobs
Barrier/Pure healer split is largely redundant...etc
So, whats the big idea?
You know why BLM feels rewarding for knowing when to play your Lay Lines? Because knowledge is power. Its the same for Barrier healers, knowing how and when to use said barriers. FAT Barriers that make the boss deal 0 damage feel sooo goooood.


Pure healers are the easy way in, White Mage is the easy one, Ast is the Hard one.
You can have 0 knowledge of a fight and still do a pretty good job, learning and reaching the point where you can swap between Barrier and Pure heal and not feel punished. Again: Knowledge is power.

[*]Excessive oGCD heals.
These are not only abundant, but exceptionally powerful.. etc
You should be thankful that those abilities are so many, expecially for casual play. Its casual content, it should be relaxed and easy to tackle, for those that seek higher challenges, there are modes that provvide said challenges, where you plan stuff ahead instead of "yolo". Do those.

[*]Lack of engaging content outside the most difficult duties (Savage/Ultimate). i.e. the threat level is too low.
Healers should feel like they have a place in all forms of content... etc

Have you ever tried to Mentor Roulette with a healer? Like, ever?
Its casual content with the spice that you seek in those "casual contents" but with a bit of challenge.
Tanks that dont use CDs, Dps that run wild or do so little damage the mobs start using "Final Sting".
The big pulls at Bardam's or Holminster's, the absolute chad pull on Mt. Gulg.


I get your idea with the strike, but this is just... stupid.
Making your life easier with mitigation? nha mate, you want to heal it all? Addle? Feint? Tactician?
Remove ALL and you shall enjoy your panik heals because EVERYONE IS DEAD.

You are burned out of the game or healing, trying something else.
