That or they're playing other games.

Both can be possible, getting bored of SQE ignoring the playerbase don't mean you can't play the game.

Damn, 4 days since the last reply? Either SE announced that the Healer role will be getting massive changes that fix all the problems it has had for the past 5 years (and I missed said announcement), or M6S adds were so rough that everyone's now convinced that 'actually this is what the role needed all along, Healing gameplay is fun again!' (which doesn't really help with how unengaging it is to do UnderSleep in the EX roulette on a Healer)

I don't see a need to rehash what has been discussed for years already.

The only recent thing that changed is their brand new shiny encounter design, and that hasn't fixed a single thing wrong with the healer role, that's all there is to it.

Eventually things will cycle around to screaming into the void as the devs only solution to stopping tanks from having too much healing and things not generally hitting hard enough is buffing tanks.

At this point I'm not just bored of Healers, the PvE design is a bloated mess compared to the tight and flavorful PvP kits (though those could maybe use another ability or two for some Jobs).

Being a casual player, I feel that I can't contribute much to the thread which hasn't already been stated before.

Healers are broken. Their gameplay revolves around pushing one button repeatedly. Their healing abilities and spells are redundant which exist mainly to fill our action bars. They could easily be trimmed to a handful.

In addition, tanks and damage dealers have gained so many buffs to their self sustain that healers often have little to heal. Not to mention that Square Enix is fixated on designing content focused on how well you can make a character dance through the mechanics which makes the GCD abilities of healers almost useless.

It all needs fixed and all we are getting is silence. It's not looking good for healers.

I am super curious what you think can be trimmed from what class. Elaborate on this for me would you? What changes if tomorrow you woke up and you were put in charge of a rework for the entire healer cadre?

oGCD bloat primarily. There is too many skills that simply do the same thing removing choice and making GCD healing near redundant, like off the top of my head

WHM
-tetra
-bension or aquaveil just combine them
-medica 1

SCH
-blessing
-protraction (just bake it into recitation)
-indom
-seraphism

SGE
-ixochole
-Pepsis
-philosophia or physis (just combine these two into one pankardia with a 1 minute CD)
-soteria


AST
-celestial intersection
-exaltation
-celestial opposition
-lady of crowns


A few others may have slightly different skill lists but the healers are just overflowing with bloat

[Miohazuki]

Easy solution is to delete healer role and give one more tank slot in content

[Miohazuki]

almost 1100 page and SQE don't care i think people just got bored.

You must be new here .they only read japanese part of forum for feedback and stuff
