It's official, SCH/WHM have two DPS spells from level 6-80

Now if only they made content where you actually had to spend more GCDs on healing than DPS.

My hope is that this is to help with that issue.

I'll totally admit that if we're going forward with the difficulty Stormblood has presented it would be a horrible trade off. I'm sure Yoshi-P is making these changes to hopefully give us a tougher experience.

have to think though pretty much anyone with "good healers can finally heal"
whats a healer gonna do when they are not healing
something does have to be there to keep the job interesting instead of just unnecessarily filling up HP

Gasp! It's like they want the healers to actually focus on healing!

I understand the complaint, but DPSing as a healer is a bonus for making sure everyone is okay.

I agree; however, that's exactly where the problem lies, because there are many of these moments, so they don't feel much of a reward, especially since our DPS options are not very thrilling. We don't want to just be effective, we want our Jobs to be fun.

Its fairly certain that they wont increase the amount you will have to heal in various content. Simply because that would require a major rework of the whole battle system.

Would be easier to do this if they just made content hit harder.

Considering people have been saying this since Heavensward, you have a lot more faith than I do. It's very likely they won't change a thing except now healers seem infinitely more boring.

No. Bio turns into Biolysis which is an AMAZING 10 potency increase (heavy /s)

I mean I feel like getting upset over potency which EVERY video tells you is subject to changes and doesn't mean what you think it means with how scaling has changed. You cant bring the potency into the argument as they are not final.

Healer in need confirmed for 5.0

[Wiccan026]

Got it erase all my healer glamour plates and make all my characters start tanking instead.

By the way any skilled healer (and there are several in this game) are going to let go of healing because it will be beyond boring for them (not to mention not feel rewarding).
Very few people will want to pick up a healer (especiall considering how it sounds we have to lock in our role for MSQ for SHB.. which stands to good reason were going to have a lot of people not trying to do it as a healer.
