    Healing is probably the easiest role now.

    I dislike it when tanks and rdm start healing themselves when not needed. Leaves me with even less things to do.

    One of those pure healers huh? If your party members are healthy you should be dpsing.

    Not by much, they're roughly equal on single target. But on AoE situations, a good healer can do insanely good damage.

    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]

    Nothing of what they said indicates that they're a pure healer. Spamming your 1 AoE action without having to do any healing (o)GCDs is not engaging and indeed means you have less to do. RDMs and PLDs using their healing skills robs you of engagement and effort value when edging their health while dpsing as much as possible. When there's a WAR who can basically solo self-heal, you at least know that they aren't wasting any dps doing that and realizing that makes you enjoy the better efficiency instead of being frustrated with the waste of efficiency in the case of a RDM or PLD healing.
