Things can always change and get updated, a handful of times moves were taken out, and then at some point brought back in, like Energy Drain. Healers are at least guaranteed to have something done if we keep being vocal about it, so stop putting your head down about it and acting like nothing will ever be done.
It won't happen right away, but it can always happen.
I mean, the live letter didn’t help, but it’s the general trajectory that the healers are on that bothers me. Honestly, healing hasn’t been the same for me since they changed cleric stance to no longer be a stance. Every expansion they whittle away at our offensive kit and add to our defensive kit, but the requirements haven’t changed. Which means we’re still using each kit the same amount, but one of those kits is bloated and the other incredibly threadbare. They seem to want to remove more of our offensive kits than they’ve ended up doing, too, since miasma 2 was removed then restored in Stormblood as Energy Drain was taken and restored in Shadowbringers. There has been plenty of feedback from healers to this effect, but until I hear them confirm that they’re going to course correct I’ll assume they’ll continue on the same course they’ve been on for the last few years.

Add to that the fact that a lot of these bugs didn’t exist before the changes and it gives the impression that the devs care more about this vision for healers than about how the classes feel to play. That said, I do believe we’ll get QoL improvements at least, eventually. That doesn’t mean I feel much optimism about the future of healing.
