    You speak of ballet dancing which has been the paradigm that the game has doubled down onto for years now (which I do agree with and absolute hate), yet you praise PCT as a "modern design". This modern design has been specifically tailored for that kind of DDR ballet gameplay, that's why the job performs so well as a caster in it. I'm not saying that the job's flow is bad though, the kit is interesting. But it's literally BLM without all the clunk when it comes to mobility.

    PCT doesn’t fit the DDR design so much as it fits the “the only thing that matters is the burst” because PCT excels at using its “you don’t want to press this in the burst” buttons whenever it wants whereas other classes have to press them at specific times

    Even if we had more WOW style random fights if the focus on the burst remains PCT will continue to be very strong because it excels at its burst design better than any other class, that’s what makes it more modern designed

    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
