A summary of healer issues

[Qyoon]

All this is sadly still true in 7.2.

Seriously, doesn't the dev read... ? Over 1k comments on this issues and nothing moved... for 5... years.. 5... f*cking years of boring healing...

They don't read and don't care.
It's all about monitoring graph and stats.
In their opinion healers are fine as they are because stats said so.
This what happend when devs don't play their own games and and trust tools.
You end up with changes like +5 potency on dots in a patchnote that feels like a middlefinger to the players.
Been like that for years and i bet 8.0 will turn most healers into more dps than anything else.
Because this is the way that is the most cost and time effective to then design high level encounters.

Remember to SQE, FF XIV is just a product in their catalog, thats why FF XIV mobile is even a thing.
Acting like they care about the community is a PR thing, it's not real, this is just about making money.
