I agree with this topic. Healers are fundamentally extremely boring to play to the point where one would rather go afk and alt+tab to watch something while coming every 5-10 seconds to click on one heal spell and move on. Doing dps? Sure spam that 111111 and apply the dot when needed. I mainly play whm and getting that aoe burst is very underwhelming. I have to actually stop dps and spam unnecessary heals just to get the desired ability ready. Why does it work like that? Where's fun in that?

The other day I was doing Deltascape 4.0 as a warrior. Whole party died to knockbacks (typical), leaving me alone there to finish the boss that was left at around 15%. Did anyone actually ask for ''go wipe'' or similar? No because they knew that warrior can just handle it. Unfortunately due to my idiotic early holmgang, it lead to my death and boss left on 0.1% which made so many frustrated and leaving the raid altogether. They all already expected good results since "you are a warrior". Just shows how current game works.

Then there have been other cases where I fought last boss solo in Endwalker dungeons. In one of them healer died but I managed to save black mage throughout the whole fight due to nascent flash. Why need a healer when I can do the job and save someone?

Current state of the game says a lot and new expansion brings more dull gameplay by removing some abilities, making healers play the same, dark knight absolutely ravaged, most of dps made easier to handle. If you read carefully, description of jobs were: "To ease the gameplay, to make it easier, to reduce the amount..." and so on. All in plan to dull gameplay for those 5% that are still crying how the game is too hard, yet they have the nerves to come and say: "devs do an excellent job?".

My server is filled with people who generally don't care about healer's strike and they think that dissatisfaction has no real purpose with words of: "why do you even care? healers are fine, I like them. Bro just play the game nobody cares. Less queue for me then! They are pathetic, let them cry and whine whole day". Another exceptional bad note that I read was from one player: "I like these changes because now I don't have to focus on playing my job but rather can focus on the boss itself.".

Honestly, I wish the devs listened to us but it seems they only care about milking those copies of DT and giving empty words that they will fix it in ''8.0 surely we will do it... have copium guys". Everytime I play as a healer I feel mega bored. Only times healers are fun to play in basic content are when your party is bad so you actually have to ressurect them, pull people to safety, do hard healings. In those situations where you actually get a chance to play your job, you feel appreciated but let's be real, they come very rarely...
