    2) All of their healing CDs get used in higher end content
    3) Meaningful changes require the combat design to be changed, which is coming next expansion. They could have given every healer 3 more damaging GCDs and it wouldnt have changed anything
    4) You don't need a lot of things. There's still plenty of situations where its optimal to use. At least once every trash pack. Also I don't get why we're being racist and insulting Japanese people

    DT furthered the demand on healing for high end content. Endwalker did the same thing. You would know that if you actually participated in anything outside of Normal raid and roulettes
    Giving one more boring healing CD then absorbing that CD into expectation of healing in savage isn’t meaningful improvement

    And I know about savage, I intentionally stopped doing it because I no longer like savage, if we are going around invalidating each others opinions isn’t mine more important because they want to bring me back to savage rather than someone who accepts what they deliver right now

    None of the CD’s are even good from a class design perspective. WHM and AST got shields because square didn’t think through the whole “shield healing is always better”, hell AST got SUN SIGN despite NOCTURNAL being the shield sect, was lunar sign trademarked?

    Meanwhile the shield healers got pointlessly overpowered regens. SCH’s pain points always included you could overextend yourself then end up in trouble with limited resources. Now you can just blast WHM mode for 20 seconds, it erases half of SCH’s identity with one ability; AND THE ABILITY IS UGLY. Philosophia they were so afraid to lock it off to people who won’t do DPS they made it work on healing CD’s, neither if or physis should exist, you should just have one “pankardia” button

    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
