Exactly the healing aspect of the healers is incredibly strong. Why the actual healing changes for a healing class is apparently being put on the backburner by the community and focusing on it's abysmal dps kit seems incredibly backwards. Like ok, we get it. There isn't anything interesting about healers dps tools, yeah it sucks scholar lost it's aoe for dungeons. If we are going to critique the job can we at least critique it around what it's intended role is? I think SE is also at fault for this given how the game is designed in regards to healing vs damage.

From footage I've seen so far and Mr. Happy's interview with Yoshida it does look like they are actually ramping up the damage to make it so healers spend more time and utilizing more of their kit for healing. As for whether this actually works out in the long run remains to be seen. I'm honestly hoping that damage was increased to the extent where healers will actually have to spend more time healing over dpsing, that way we can actually focus and give feedback about the healing aspect of the job, instead of complaining about how healer dps isn't interesting or engaging.
