Why Are Healers Not Allowed A Gameplay Loop, Anyway?

[Palladiamors]

This is a complete non-issue. Anyone who is even remotely competent at playing a healer knows when to heal and when not to heal. If you do not main a healer, please don't presume to speak for us.

Except that as a healer you wouldn't be subject to having to deal with that, now would you? Don't presume to speak for all healers or DPS, thank you.

Back in Stormblood that was a common occurrence. The good healers knew how much damage party or raid wides dealt and played a game of it, waiting as long as possible but still not letting anyone die.

The bad healers just didn't care and focused on DPS and there were a lot of them.
