    The healers that have already left the role for xyz reason are the minority however.

    There is also the hilarious and duality point that people like Xenos made about the Healer strike being ironic and dumb. Healers say they want to "utilize their healing kits more" or "be the only ones with healing" but the moment they introduce a hard hitting mechanic that is an outright heal check, tanks are begged to use Tank LB instead, which is an outright DPS loss overall.
    In a world with as much mitigation as we have everything is a mit check. A 10% mitigation on harrowing hell for 15 seconds is worth about 4 succors or 3 medica 2’s. The only thing you could make in this modern design that’s actually a healing check is a limitless un-mitigatable bleed. Because otherwise mitigation is always more useful as it’s basically extra eHP which is functionally pure healing by another name anyway

    It’s infinitely frustrating especially as the shield healer to have the party not mitigate anything then blame the healers. When I did P10 in PF (big mistake) the DPS just used to not press any of their mits (the phys ranged was decent) then I’d get snarky comments like “oh we got a bad healer guess we have to use tank LB3”

    In this current garbage design of mitigation being king healers have zero control but 100% of the blame. Actually let me control the party mitigation as the shield healer then you can blame me if we die, but if you won’t even press addle then I’m not pressing succor 5 times to cover your ass because you drifted xeno

    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
