Forgive this long rant, but I need to get it out.


I have been a healer main for a long time in FFXIV. After I raised a DPS, I worked immediately on raising a healer for variety, and I've never looked back, running other classes only to fill gaps in my premades.

I love healing, and don't see myself every changing from that. The power your wield over life and death of the party is intoxicating. A good healer can keep a bad party alive. A great healer can turn a wipe into a victory.

No other role has so much power over the party.

But lately, I've been finding that as fun as it is to show off your skills at keeping bad players alive, I grew frustrated at the sheer number of bad players in the more difficult content.
