#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Why would anyone give healer a try when it is so braindead that a chimpanzee that is blindfolded could do it.

It's honestly think a bigger problem with that comes down to Healer's learning curve. Compared to say...Black Mage, which is an easy to learn, hard to master class (reasonably simple rotation in terms of buttons, but execution is a total bitch), Healers often fall under the "hard to learn, easy to master" deal. New players get overwhelmed by not just all the healing options, but also the idea that instead of "passively" regaining health from another player, they're now responsible for all of that, and it can give newbies a bad case of nerves.

Thing is...once you get over all out, outside of Ultimates and progressive Savage or just doing some really insane pulls in old content, there's not a lot of ways to make use of your knowledge, and that's frustrating.

FF14 is the first MMORPG that I haven't mained a healer in, I started as a healer and dropped it because there just wasn't any healing to be had. Switched to a Tank main and haven't gone back to healing outside of when my wife wants to go tank.

Oh I used to be SCH main for a time, and ended up rolling onto Black Mage. In a lot of ways, BLM pushes the fight knowledge and situational awareness in a way that I would have expected healers to be asked to do.

It's just a shame because healers stop being fun once you "figure them out".

BLM is my main DPS class, I love it.
