After being a longtime lurker of the Healer subsection of the forums(5.1 is when my healing journey officially began, so not as long as many of the posters I've come to respect here have healed), I want to officially give my 2 Gil in support to the OP.

I find it absolutely ridiculous(and more than a little frustrating) that the devs think that literal 1 button spam in combat is okay, while also keeping the overall damage low enough in daily content(and even some Savage fights from what I've heard, my only Savage experience is E5S) where you hardly ever need to heal. I feel like it shows a complete lack of understanding of how the Role is played at all, and it really just baffles me. Like, how could they not think when testing 5.x healers(and soon to be 6.x) that pressing 1 button 12 times, and then pressing button 2 once every 30 seconds is okay.

At this point I don't feel like a healer, I feel like a gimped DPS that also is a unpaid babysitter.
