    And sadly past experience is with healer design is what we see on paper is pretty much what we get even when said decisions are clearly detrimental to the job.

    It's early and I can't remember off the top of my head but an expansion or two ago healers lambasted the design choice at the beginning of an expansion (Stormblood maybe?), and we got the usual "Just wait and try it yourself!".

    It was as terrible as was predicted.

    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]

    Heh. Remember when they removed Energy Drain and people whined all the way to heaven and back? That was so much of a racket that they gave it back to SCH rather quickly. Did it for ShB too and the exact same thing happened. The main one I can remember they lambasted the most was WHM Lilies - and GOD it was horrible. Just use 1 Benison and you basically lose all your Lilies, which was bull.
