#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Stormhold]

I’m spending 60% of my casts in TOP spamming broil. This is a problem that goes all the way up into ultimates healers are just badly designed

And right now nothing below EX is designed around expectation of healer damage, hell dungeons are designed around no healer damage because if the healer doesn’t do damage everyone’s CD’s actually align better. The cure 1 spammers aren’t going to he hurt here.

Everything below EX designed around TA of the game, the major one. If You change this design, casuals will fall off and roulettes will be even more toxic.
60% is good number. Gunbreakers spend around 50% doing 1-2-3 combo gathering cartridges with ocasional OGCD's:
Rough sketch of gunbreaker 60s cycle: 20s burst - 1-2-3 combo - Catridge combo - 3x 1-2-3 combo. Is 1-2-3 better gameplay than 1-1-1? Not really. Healers have more distraction with healing everyone. And having Burst window longer than 5s seems counter productive to reactive nature of healer. I'm not sure changes You want will work out good in current design of a game and community overall.

It’s actually about 25% but don’t let me stop you

Fair enough. It does feel like 50% tough. Mostly it is diluted by 20s having so much stuff on Continuation.

I mean when I’m healing broil “feels” like 100% but I’m using verifiable data here

The healers are completely out of whack on button contribution compared to the other roles

Are you seriously asking if 1-2-3 plus burst windows where you press different buttons is more engaging? Yes. Of course it is.
We're not even asking for something like that. We just want to do anything other than spam Broil.
Tanks can be distracted by their rotations, and just not do their jobs right too, you know. DPS can stand in mechanics because they're too hard-focused on their hotbars. Why should healers be the only one that needs everything except two buttons taken away so they don't have a chance of not healing.
Also, what's to stop the new player from just not doing their damaging rotation right instead of not doing the healing right. I know I do this all the time, where I'll get my rotation wrong just to do a mechanic properly when still learning the fight. I already do this on healer by letting my DoT drift.
We definitely don't need something like Wildfire + Hypercharge that pretty much locks you in to doing that for the next eight seconds. If a healer needs to stop damaging to get everyone standing and healthy again, then that shouldn't be discouraged.
I'd put an example for what I think would be a good rotation, but a lot of other people already have if you've been watching through this thread.

(To be fair I think those ideas get lost very quickly since this thread has already passed 450 pages. So perhaps giving your example can still be helpful for newer readers.)
