i agree.... i mean, we need a naked tank or crappy player to have something to heal... That just...

I mean many of us often do ask our tanks to pull W2W without gear or use of cooldowns to see how far we can go. I know I cannot be alone in this.

I can assure you, when you play healer your "most used action" is not a heal. You don't have to make an effort to have your "Most used action" not be a heal by the way. Unless you want to not press any buttons for about 70% of a fight.

Even in week 1 progression, you don't even come close to 70% of your actions being heals, it just doesn't happen.

Meanwhile, in the much-hated HW era, there's a much higher percentage of healing actions being used in savage, go figure.

I want to apologize for my earlier post.
It came out wrongly and probably rude.

"Crappy" wasn't the best word to use. there is a lot of honest people that are trying their best to play correctly, but can't.
By no mean i wanted to be rude or insulte them.

Is this still going on? I still enjoy healing in 14, which is a bit strange since I abhor healing in WoW. It's still a very necessary class in all content and having a tank, healer and dps at 100 mean I can benefit from any of those that are currently needed on one character.

Then your lucky, because i get them often on Chaos DC XD

No you don't get it my dungeon parse is insanely important I have to stand in the aoes to charge my motifs, because I just have to okay!!

Yeah healing in XIV is great because you can play RuneScape on the other screen while if you play wow you have to sadly heal people. Well in best case scenarios I go as a healer in expert and get a warrior then I can afk the entire dungeon and play RuneScape for 20 minutes.

I should renew my RuneScape subscription, I could get my divination level from 99 to 120 by healing

I loved divination for some reason despite everyone else thinking it was the most boring skill they ever introduced

Snip for space

Yeah, I recognize the diagram is showing just the "opener" with the pot at the beginning, but it's the interpretation I'm getting at. The claim being made by people with that graphic is that making the DPS aspect of healers simpler is somehow this horrible travesty that can't possibly be a good thing. I'm simply pointing out that for most of the time in most of the fights in most of the (typical) content, that graphic doesn't show at all what a typical Healer is actually doing. Mixing in the variety of heal spells typically needed in a random DF group (aka what the overwhelming majority of the playerbase actually does) would show that a typical Healer is in fact casting a wide variety of spells during the fight, which the graphic implies is not happening.

But that’s the thing. The oGCD’s don’t substitute for the loss of complexity because we press them less than we pressed old healing skills like rouse or succor and our DPS rotation is neutered

We went from about 60/40 DPS/healing button presses where the DPS was split across 10 skills to 80/20 where the DPS is 2 skills

Occasional oGCD heal presses don’t substitute the lost complexity at all

sorry, not sure what version of the game you are playing, but the "wide variety" of the spells I am using seem to be 21111111 wash... rinse... repeat.

I suppose just to fit your categorization of this wide variety, I could put glare on 4 different buttons, and dia on 2 or 3.... that would encompass a "wide variety" of buttons...
