Not impressed with the skill changes

Tell that to monsters, Tank, DPS or Healer, all must fight and being so weak is not nice.


I don't see why Healers must have the crappiest DPS, I believe we should be as powerful as any DPS, current power balance is broken and needs to be fixed!...

I don't see why DPS must have the crappiest HPS, I believe we should be as potent as any Healer ... see how silly that sounds. You choose to play a healer. Healers are not DPS and should not be required to do so.

Well what helped set Healers in this game apart from healers in other MMOs was that we had to balance DPS and Healing. Where other MMOs had healers just be heal bots that barely did any damage of their own and thus were dependent on having friends to help them.

And the HPS of bloodlust using melee DPS in AoE situations is not bad. I have had plenty of times where a healer wasted a GCD heal on me when I took an AoE hit from the mobs in the pack and lost 25% of my HP, only to instantly get that back on my next AoE attack because of bloodlust. Then the heal from the healer hits on my full HP bar... SAM really does have a good toolset for maintaining itself to reduce healer needs.

Depends on your definition of healer: there's a wide range between "Turret healer who has to constantly spam heals to keep the group alive" and "Healer who has heals, support spells and damage in his toolkit, and uses them according to each situation".
FF14 is currently diverging on the former of the two, and it's quite boring.
