A list of non-healer supportive skills...should healers steal them?

[Awha]

Because they are impossible to balance with how FFXIV is structured. Either their buffs/debuff are extremely valuable, thus they become mandatory or their overall contribution is less than simply bringing a proper DPS. Which makes them worthless. A support role might work since bringing one could be made mandatory without impacting the other jobs but that means restructuring the whole party dynamic. And they aren't going to do that.

This is why people are started asking for healers to shift into a more support oriented role. Not only does it add the support aspect people want to see more of but it potentially solves healer engagement feeling lackluster.

As I said i know why we do not have them, but one can still miss the role. Sure making healsrs more support oriented, could work. Though idk not sure all healera wish for that level of activity buff debuff support may not be the desired direction some healera would like to to down. If they force it on healers I get the feeling it will create another dynamic similar to healer dps. Not sure SE will want to go down that rabbit hole.

Idk it seems hard to ground what healers really want in this vame. I know some that wish for more healing intensive play. I have some friends that simply like to solo heal pug content for that very reason. I would not mind having healers focus on support, but I do understand that level of support that would result in meaningful increase in activity may not be for everyone. Seems like a risky switch from the current status quo.
