The idea that we need to DPS must go.

[RinaShinomiya]

Don’t give them ideas.

Dont worry, nobody reads these healer forums. Healer feedback & suggestions get ignored constantly by the dev team, no matter if good or bad.

its still a bad idea to do so on the off chance one of them misclicks onto here

Not really. I just picture they’d have that one reaction Patrick Star had in Spongebob.

“Who are you people?!?!?”

No. I veto this thread in its entirety.

I mained SCH since SB because I like the idea of a "battle medic". SCH slowly started turning away from that playstyle once they gutted our DPS kit.

I have since changed to SGE because it truly embodies what I wanted in a healer: damage to heal, and heal to damage!

What I mean by that is, I love the design that you need to have broken shields to gain Addersting charges which you can use to DPS. That's cool. You can also place Kardion on whoever will be taking the most consistent damage and it applies a percentage of your damage as healing to that person. That is what I wanted in a battle medic class. I love it.

Well the OP originally started this thread 3 years ago, so it's not really shocking that they've not leveled to 90.

Even if that's the case, I'm playing WHM at 80, trying to get it up and I just.... nooooooope.

And I'm not even an uber high end healer. If I can point out the problem, there's something wrong.

Right now in raid and dingeons it's "spam your 1 button, weaving some ogcd mits or heals when needed".
We need either a more engaging dps rotations or a more intensive healing.

Healing/Tanking mob pulls in dungeons have generally been fun imo, especially with Sage, while many DPS jobs tend to have slightly less interesting rotations for those.

Healing bosses is where it gets less fun since there's a lot more downtime and outside some oGCDs and Sage's Phlegma it usually devolves into you spamming your single target dps skill while refreshing your DoT every now and then, and EW's further amplified that by making Tank self-heals as good as they are now.

That isn't to say Tanks shouldn't be as good at self-heals, but more that we have some room for an actual dps rotation now

I doubt they'll give these to us, very unlikely. Especially when they've made their intent to dumb down both sides of spectrum very clear.

At best they'll think bumping up or down potencies slightly is all they need to magically 'fix' that.
