O5N is unfair for pure healer

[SilentVoice]

the irony of it, i wonder how many threads that ended up in same style are out there, this is +1. we just killed one, and here goes another one

Someone care to explain why people think the OPs opinion is ok?

Good DPS: doesn’t miss a GCD, doesn’t stop, does good DPS.

Good tanks: doesn’t miss a GCD, does reasonable DPS for their class and uses CDs as/when needed, holds hate.

Good healer: heals? Stands there when no healing is needed? Just heals. Nothing else

Something screams not right to me when the tanks and DPS don’t get a break yet these “pure healers” think it’s ok to stand around watching us do the work

Thread went from "Lol troll" to "Hm, why do healers DPS so hard?" to "This is how I am a good green DPS and why aren't you?"

Basically the same old Healer DPS debate since healers are built that way in XIV.

Back to topic:

We have no Job designed to be a pure healer.
Wea have:

• A Healer with additional high damage skills
• A Healer with sustained damage skills
• A Healer with buff support and low damage skills

I see no Healer Job with artifical low healing power to force it to heal every GCD and oGCD.
Also a "pure Healer" design wouldn't be viable for most content or just undesireable.
Most healing potencies would have to be lower by a good margin in comparsion to the existing healer jobs to get the need of the ABC heals.
But with ABC heals they lack by damage and/or utility in comparsion with the other healers.
So in comparsion with the other heals a "pure Healer" would be extremely underpowered in the healing section, would lack completely any kind of damage dealing and more or less all utility.

People going full on rere, frothing at the mouths and haven't figured out the OP is a trolling...

Why are all the face palm threads, cringe threads, flame bait and spam threads created by lalafells. Every. Single. Time.

To be brutally honest, they truly have reached a low point in their lives, if they feel the need to troll these forums.

That's mostly because this game is pared down to the limit a MMO can be. Like we don't have to maintain a slow or paralyze on the boss, nor do we have to correct the correct elemental resistance spell for their various attacks. We generally don't need to stop healing to recover MP periodically, or sleep or CC mobs, or even keep an eye out for roaming adds. Heal, dodge, dps. That's it. Sometimes we don't even need to cleanse status.

Usually games with purer healing have a lot more real gameplay than this one.

I don't think "pure healers" will do CC, because it is not part of restoring HP or cleansing debuffs.
