"we are struggling with healers and don't know what to do with them" however, is.

Whilst some may try to argue something like DNC is a support role and that makes it different, it's support is to still push the DPS of the group. Each DPS I kinda balanced around how much selfish DPS they do and how much they benefit the party DPS. And how they do this is not categorised, which I think is fine. MCH is the selfish DPS version of ranged physical, and SAM is the melee one and BLM is the mage one. Whereas RDM, NIN and DNC kinda are less on the selfish side.
I just want to thank you
Because most of the time i mention such things i am met with hostility, lol
