As someone who has played all jobs I think these complaints are incredibly stupid

It's more helpful to explain why you think that way.

I'd HEAVILY caution healers to be wary of asking for significant increases to difficulty. WoW has the opposite problem of FF14; there's too much healing to be done.

That isn’t what’s being asked for

Healers simply want their jobs to be as engaging as the other roles

We aren’t looking to block out casual healers with savage healing in dungeons, we know raising the floor makes people quit, we just want the ceiling and level of engagement to go up

You're asking for engagement, aren't you? The most direct way to address that is to increase damage taken by the party (i.e., unavoidable damage vs telegraphed) and/or require Esuna checks.

Please don't misrepresent my caution. I play both 14 and Wow, their healing situations are like the First and Thirteenth - too excessive in either direction. It doesn't start with an overt desire to hardblock content, but with cumulative and gradual adjustments that either lower or raise the challenge level.

It is reasonable to ask for healers to be granted additional DPS button variety. Otherwise, healers are married to encounter design and class balancing- tanks in particular. Can any healer look at this DRK main and tell me that my job is the problem?
