Healing Magic Potency for non-healers

[Cabalabob]

If a "decent" healing wont be gamechanging, why u need it?
Btw cleric its not a great deal on overall dps, the best healer dps is roughly 40-50% of a dd dps, and 60-80% of a tank dps , and i acept it happily since i knew my dps is low compared to other roles, as i acepted that blm has no heals, as for healing your 30k hp you dont need to do it by yourself, thats why we have the...surprise... healers
This is a multiplayer game guys, u arnt suposed to do everything by yourselves( except warriors xD, jk)
And healing , when the meta is dps at all costs, is already making the WHM being a redundant job among healers, spread that to dps/tank u dont need em anymore
And imagine a BLM with infinite mp healing like 3k per cast and when he isnt healing it is dpsing crazy... give him an aoe heal and no need for healers anymore, but as i said before to someone , u have your vision as a tank and i have mine as a healer, we can just agree to disagree.

Show me where I said it won't change anything? Having self sustainability is a huge boon as can be seen by warriors massive self healing kit. Having healing can save a wipe when a healer dies or disconnects which makes a difference. What I said is it's not going to put healers out of the job if PLD and BLM/SMN have access to cure 1... can you honestly imagine saying "oh PLD has a decent cure 1 now! Screw bringing a WHM!"?

And I can say the same back to you if cleric's stance isn't such a big deal then why do you need it? The answer is because it is a big deal, it makes your dps tools worth using. Having "low dps" as a healer and having "no healing" as a dps are not the same thing.

If a BLM is healing they're not dpsing, unlike a healer they don't have regens or a fairy. So that 3k heal (which is probably more than is being asked for by scaling) is costing them a 10k fire 4. So yes I'd say it's a reasonable trade off. And giving them an AoE heal? Leap in logic much?

Your argument was that if healers can't dps why should dps/tanks be able to heal? But that's incorrect, because healers CAN dps thanks to cleric's stance. Yes it's lower than tanks and dps but they have it. Giving BLM/SMN and PLD a better scaling cure/physick makes them have healing, it'd be lower than healers but they'd have it.

Your argument would only work if healers didn't have cleric's stance because then their dps would be so bad it would be equal to the current state of dps heals.
