Has anyone quit healing?

[Semirhage]

Yes. WHM since 2.3. Quit healing before 5.0 dropped because I got tired of settling for FFXIV's honestly fairly wretched healer design, and couldn't see myself enjoying another expansion of Stone Stone Stone Stone Stone Stone Stone Stone.

Try a DPS; they're first-class citizens in the job design paradigm and are usually endowed with a smart, feel-good, and impactful reward loop in mind.

No. I'm still a healer main.

Not happy with SCH ever since the SB rework, and Shadows made it worse. Temporarily took a Heal leave in SB for WAR, but back as SCH because of queue times.

Not the best situation, but because of my usual hours of play, and limited time to play, I'd rather just deal, so I can experience the Shadows content in a timely manner. Once I get my MCH and WAR back to lv cap, I'll probably go back to doing those jobs.

[Cyrocco]

Nope. I leveled and geared AST and then turned right around and got the other healers prepped and geared, and I'll be raiding as whatever's needed. Then I realized Soul of Magic only needed two more jobs so I'm doing those for funsies.

[lunar_seraphim]

Nope, still a healer main. I do, however, hardly play Astrologian and only play White Mage when I used to swap pretty evenly between the two since Heavensward. I haven't yet tested the Astrologian changes and am pretty excited to see them firsthand, but White Mage is just too strong, fun, and fluid to play anything else at the moment.

[Kanitezz]

My opinion probably doesn’t matter here much since healings always been my side gig. But I still very much enjoy playing as the carry role.

[Risvertasashi]

I played a lot more DPS this expac.

I'm still a healer main, I'm doing savage on my healer... but I did have a pretty OK time relaxing on DPS through dungeons and stuff. I think it's probably the savage healing I couldn't give up. But maybe I'll do roulettes on DPS. It's a bit longer wait, but it's kind of relaxing to be able to ignore everything but your own rotation.

[Elamys]

Been a healer since I started playing this game, still a healer. Many, many years of playing WoW have taught me that nothing stays the same, there's no point in me giving up on a job I love and have lots of glamour collected for when things are going to end up changing for the better eventually. Besides, I play casual content and nobody's locking me out from that.

[Doozer]

I've mained AST since HW, but starting leaning into tanking during SB and when I saw the changes to AST I wasn't really too interested in juggling them both. AST got the axe for ShB and I main GNB now. My other jobs I play are just a couple DPSs.

[Sloprano]

Scholar since falling in love with Arcanist in ARR. Picked up Paladin along side it in Stormblood for opptertunistic support. Played MCH and SMN aswell now in Shadowbringers.

Never considered any other job because I could take Scholar to anything and have fun. That slowly and surely changed over the years. I no longer eagerly await any fight to see how much I can exploit the skillset, but Scholar remains my favorite job even now while waiting on better times.

[Dogempire]

I tend to cycle my roles to keep a bit of variety when I play, but I have no desire to level my SCH anymore since I can't really have fun with it like I used to.

So yeah, I basically did quit healing
