    Completely understand that, Healing and tanking can't have RNG as their base resource because you never know when a massive spike damage will kill your tank.

    But the FFXIV devs, in their short sightedness, decided to make that the basis of a healer.

    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]

    Same with damage and that's just not for healers, for every role. Consistency is king. Even things like direct hit crits are a problem which will presumably be fixed in 6.0 with their stat crunch.
