    I've played that game and raided long enough to notice louts that overinflate their favorite job or role's difficulty out of personal insecurities and lash out at others that may contest that position.

    You can quote as many logs or guide as you'd like, but simply counting the amount of "free casts" and comparing jobs based solely on this metric is already disingenuous enough to show a clear bias into trying to win internet points by any means.

    It speaks volumes about this discussion that I literally have no idea which “side” you are taking if any

    Are you saying “oh it has lots of free casts so therefore it’s super mobile” as a statement indicating the melee don’t know what they are talking about and over inflating their jobs difficulty to put PCT down or are you saying “obviously if you understood casters you’d realise that even if PCT has less free casts it can move them around more giving them more functional movement” as a knock against people who think PCT is difficult as a more “melee are harder” by association stance

    I’ve found in the “should PCT be at the same level as the high melees” both sides tends to exaggerate the difficulty of their class (uptime for casters, melee range for melee) and diminish the difficulty of the other

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    I don't have a horse in this race. I exposed my feeling on how the difficulty PCT feels to me personally when playing it compared to other casters like BLM or even RDM, and got immediately attacked and made fun of by a certain someone that came up with half baked arguments and pseudo log analyses. I admitted that I got a fact wrong on insta casts, but the guy continued to dig himself a grave after that.

    People do indeed like to inflate the difficulty of their jobs to find some illusory idea of superiority and how their job should be doing more damage than the others. Especially prevalent with a lot of melees and casters, as you can guess.
