And this... This is already the case and what the devs do, hence the week 1/2 healerless clears. I've seen it said that the devs do playtest all the content they put in the game, if that's true then they know just how much healing is/n't required in every duty at the time of introduction. Therefore the only conclusions are that the devs know that the healing requirements are as low as they are and intend that healers should do as little healing as possible (even going so far as to have other party members do it for them with the ever increasing healing kits on non-healer jobs) or they're terrible healers who actually believe that healers do need to spend entire duties focused on healing.
they had said they re-allocated their healer tester because they "got too good"

so I am not sure how much effort whomever they have that "playtests" healers... if they do at all.

which leads me to the suspicion that the healing requirements are low.. because the devs themselves dont use them or play them in testing.
