Let me know how do you "spam" Midare & Kaeshi as frequent as spamming Glaroilficosis. Tell me about this super sikkrit technique to spam your Midare 22 times in a minute.

Yo dude, no need to get sarcastic. I can smell the salt all the way from Turliyollal lol. Sure midare spam is much less than the healers but I spam glare/malefic/broil/dosis when I play healers too and it's fine because I'm more concerned/busy of keeping the party alive than which color is my parse is going to be to after the clear. But hey you do you, living that salt life can be fun I guess...? Lol.

Dw about that. We were perpetually given white robes because they're made of salt. It's given

Jokes aside, comparing "midare spam" to "glaroilficosis spam" just falls flat considering you just... don't... "spam midare". In fact you even press your Hissatsu: Shinten more than anything in your hotbar except perhaps Kasha. Say if you really do spam Midare, how many GCDs you need to spend before you can execute Midare? 8 GCDs. That's 9 GCDs split into 3 Kashas, 5 other combo'd buttons and 1 Iaijutsu. Ignoring two other Iaijutsus grants you 2.5(?) Midares per minute. Now compare that to Glaroilficosis - 22 casts of them with only 2 reserved for DoT refresh. Heals? What heals are we throwing? Too many normal contents can be healed by just keeping Assize on cooldown, letting Eos spams embrace, Earthly Star on cd, & SGE for simply existing, not including the amount of collective HPS the non-healers can put out. Zero GCD heals are achievable everywhere outside early progs, ults, & perhaps up to regular 3rd/4th floor of savages - what do you think we do when all of these aren't needed? More Glaroilficosis, 70%-90% of times. No other jobs in this game has this spread of button uses so lopsided to one.single.button.

Don't you see now how hard it was to take your words seriously with that comparison?

Even if i spam hissatsu: shinten and those ogcd every 60s or 120s. I end up having to cast midare or in this case in DT its tendo - setsugekka. But the fact is that I have to worry about uptime, DoT timer etc etc. Also I'm essentially just spamming a rotation that I started off with my opener. So it's gets busy and I enjoy it. Although I have all my healers currently chilling at lvl 90, I don't usually play healers and it's not because it's not fun or what not (because playing a healer is hella busy too). It's because I like to play a more "up in your face" style of gameplay. Even if SE nerfed samurai to the ground, I'll still stick to playing samurai because I enjoy playing the role and another reason I like playing samurai is because the real life history and culture behind the role so it has meaning when I play. This can be said to all the other jobs including healers such as white mage, You can incorporate fictional characters from anime, movie or books into it and create a better experience. My point is it not a skill or a button that determines how fun a job is. It's your mentality on how you look at the job you playing. If you truly believe and like the job you are playing then regardless what changes is made, you'll still be having fun.

P.S: I also enjoy playing DRK and RPR because the dark concept and story behind it, i find it really cool and the job skill animation look cool as well. I don't play as much as samurai but it's like the 2 and 3 job/role I'll choose when I start feeling a bit tedious "spamming" my samurai rotation.

That's fair and it's totally your prerogative keep such mindset. But that won't be true for everybody else. Personally to me, gameplay is equally important to the fantasies. That gameplay has existed before. One of the example:

See how different SCH's gameplay is across the last 4 expansions? See how many casts are being relegated to Broils closer to recent expacs because every other damage buttons are being deleted and have its potencies added into Broils as a 'compensation' while also bloating both our kits and nonhealers' with so many free healings?

When we speak of 'rotation/don't want to spam 1 button', we'd like for each healers to have different & varied ways to output their damage that doesn't just come from 1 single button. DOESN'T HAVE to be 123. Just give us ANYTHING to do that's not 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 - The next thing in the list is to spam weave /doze emote every GCD while that DRK soaks the trash pull with their new Excog.
