The new mode is...rather dull as a healer.

[Risvertasashi]

skilled healers are finding healing a bore in Seize unless their group is absolutely, inalterably, utterly ATROCIOUS?

Doesn't need to be atrocious, just needs to be randoms. Try queuing solo.

Or you need to be fighting a group at a similar level, which happens much more often with randoms and only very rarely with premades. When you've got 2 party members getting focused and 2 sets of SMN dots on nearly everyone, things get... 'interesting'. Throw in 1 or 2 people very interested and trying very hard to assassinate you.

But if you're never clashing with any other large groups you won't see that, of course. But sitting around on points is boring for everyone, I think...

All that said C'eve has been making me think I would enjoy the Den a lot more... but a lot of the new rewards are with Seal Rock achievements, or old Frontlines rewards I haven't gotten yet... :/
