Brainstorming DPS rotation changes for healers

[lolnotacat]

I don't want to have more DPS as a healer. If I wanted to DPS I'd play DPS. I want the healer role itself to be more engaging. More boss damage, more punishing mechanics, toolkits that have useful skills that don't exist to just pad hotbars (looking at you psysick and cure 1). If I wanted to just play a game where the Trinity was abandoned so everyone did damage I'd go back to Guild Wars 2.

Healer DPS should be a bonus to an encounter for everyone doing the mechs right and not needing healing outside of unavoidable damage, not an expectation because the damage is so low it can be resolved with a couple of AOE heals.

Healers in ffxiv ARE GREEN DPS, period. If you want to play a pure healer, go somewhere else. I don't know where exactly because games are progressively doing away with this garb relic of a system that is the trinity.

Even this game is forgoing the trinity progressively, with everyone having more heals and support. But healers are still left in a ditch.

I'll play and give my input where I damn well please. You don't like it, go somewhere else.

Who complained about healers wanting an engaging gameplay again ?

I don't find playing whack a mole to complete a rotation to be engaging.

Me neither, this should be deleted from the game. Take a look at pvp sage, good thing it's well designed right. I'll reiterate since it has been mentioned so many times . You shield, shield breaks and grants you toxikon ogcd. Heal and dps interact, gameplay is nervous and it's an alternative to the 111 spam in a simple yet more engaging way.

Toxikon should have always been an ogcd.

No thanks, I don't wanna play Overwatch with bad netcode.
