    I personally enjoyed this patch healing. It’s really fast paced. Pulling all the adds and burning them down while keeping the tank alive is a rush.

    Ok, now what do you do on bosses 70% of the time? 21111111111112

    If you're happy with that, good for you. That's fine. But many of us simply aren't.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    I hadn't realized just how bad it was until I decided to pick up AST. I spent most of my healing as a WHM and although extremely tedious, I didn't really mind Stoning things to death. However, I think I was given fair warning when an FC member stated in chat that they were doing the current relic quest...as AST.

    "I screwed up."

    "What happened?"

    "I'm doing this as AST."

    FC: "Oooooooooooohhhh"

    I picked back up AST just a couple of days ago and now understand what they meant. I constantly feel as if I'm playing Blackjack with no chance to win 21 anytime I play solo content; not to mention the lack of DPS abilities typically leading to card fart attack that leaves a DoT.

    The really sad part is SE, for some unknown reason, decided that AST was the DPS model they wanted all healers to emulate. SCH were very complex in the DPS department, WHM was decently complex and then there was AST.

    I know career Astrologians. They wouldn't have wished their Pre-Shadowbringer DPS rotation on ANYONE. Yet somehow the SE healer designer thought this was the pinnacle of healer DPS play.
