#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Teno]

Healers are expected to dps now in WoW, it is wildly acknowledged in the community. In fact, they pretty much all have a fully fleshed out dps kit. Disc obviously, rdruid with dots, evoker with breaths and variations of flame (store heals which turns into a massive burst). It is the mark of a good healer to dish out dps while satisfying the much more stringent heal needs. Even the MDI (official pve competition) have healers do crazy dps, and sometimes be replaced. And that's much more challenging than any ultimate will ever be.


Besides, only the japanese seem to like this bs of a rigid trinity, and yet as we can see, other jobs are getting more and more support tools, while healers have 0 new dps tools.

The pressure is definitely higher with harder content(at least 10 key level for mythic plus) and mythic raiding but it's undoubtedly different than FF where it's interwoven. It's partially due to the fact in harder content you absolutely have to pump out big numbers as a healer while being mechanically aware(less than FF but still significant) but also where contributing 1-15 percent extra DPS can be very beneficial overall.

Though players pushing for more interwoven DPS roles for healers get a lot of hate in WOW. Ultimately healers in WOW in harder content do DPS but it's nowhere near the focus as it is here and healing is still king.
