Suggestion: Title/reward for healer in Frontlines

[AlexiosCalisthenes]

In frontlines, everyone needs a healer, but no one wants to play one.

Square Enix, could you please introduce maybe 1 or 2 title/rewards for healers similar to Slaughterhouse/Hand of Mercy title rewards?

A friend suggested 1 billion cumulative heals would be a good achievement to obtain a title. It would give healers something to work for, to incentivize healing in a mode where healers are necessary.

Some titles: Pulse of Life (like LB3), The Healer, Battle Medic

Thank you!

healers really need some more love becuse they have a lot harder time to get any kills and progress towards the kill achievements is slow, maybe give the feast class based achievements to frontlines as well.

Would probably have to enforce jobs on players during the queuing process as currently you can switch freely inside of Frontlines (in your base), and I'm not sure that would go down well as being able to switch often helps to fill gaps in roles/jobs that the party might need. Also the way in which exp is rewarded now at the end goes to the job that the player queued up as, so there is little incentive to switch once inside the duty. I'm not sure many people do PvP for healer experience....

Would love this simply because it would benefit me, I love to heal in frontlines and it's the only kind if PvP I like to play. The commendations after a good run are a nice reward in themselves and I honestly enjoy it, but I am always welcoming to more rewards.

Kinda funny though how they make it harder for other jobs to get kills since they never seem to die, especially when there's like 4 of them. Or better yet, the legendary healer team. Yes, I have seen more than my fair share of those. I'm of the opinion that if they were to buff their damage, then healing would need to be nerfed to compensate. In PvP only, of course.

I think it's a neat idea
But would become stupid with full healer teams

As a healer in PvP, don't nerf healing. I've been playing since ARR frontlines and it's already at its least fun right now for healers, and perhaps weakest. Nerfing healing would just turn off even more healers.

Healers that focus on doing dps in frontlines just make me kinda mad as a healer, as usually there's stupidly high amounts of damage being done to the team, people dieing, and I see a healer spamming their 2 dps moves, while everyone dies around them

What does this have to do with this thread?

Just responding to the two people who were talking about helping healers get more kills/nerfing healing and buffing dps. I wasn't at my computer, so was using my phone, and quoting multiple people can be iffy on my phone

I'll never really understand the reluctance of people to play healers when they're easily the most important role.

They desperately need to buff WHM/SCH so they aren't garbage compared to AST, though. Their free swiftcasts coupled with their stronger cooldown abilities make them way better then the other two healers.
