Why the hell would I waste a benefic II on someone who's obviously been regened by me 16 seconds ago so I could Malefic III, Combust, Gravity. and use my cards More than likely redrawing at least once during that time period?

Really? Because you come across as the kind of person who feels that we shouldn't be complaining because we still have our healing kit, and that's all you REALLY need. It doesn't make you a "real" healer to not give a damn about reductions to our DPS and utility toolkit. Folks like you are why SE will just shrug and say healer is perfectly fine, since the numbers say people are still playing it.

Well see you all later. I will be healing in 5.0 thank you peeps for making my Q instent

You're welcome. If you're the kind of bloke that can have fun pressing the same 3 keys over and over, well they hey; these changes are for you.

wont get much feed back on what to change if people just leave

You guys are overreacting so hard. Dont believe the devs when they said theyd rebalance combat around more healing involved? Fine, thats on you. Ill give them the oppertunity to show it before i cry like a bossy child.

This is supposed to be a paradime shift from the high focus on dps to a high focus on needed healing input. If you dont like that change, you should play a dps or tank, theres plenty.

*grabs some popcorn and continues to watch this fire burn*

Boycott or no, why should anyone believe this? They said the same exact thing about Stormblood and look how that turned out.

This is why I'm concerned. The devs don't seem to understand that just buffing outgoing damage and/or nerfing healer DPS toolkits is not the way to go - potencies and encounter design would have to be fundamentally changed if you want to create an organic, healthy way of pushing healers more towards healing than DPS. Scripted burst windows and insane HPS throughput are why healer gameplay is the way it is in this game, and taking away Cleric Stance, pruning healers down to two DPS buttons and putting a cap on mana isn't going to make healing magically more fun, it'll just make DPS less fun (as though it was that fun to begin with if you were an AST lol).
