Even if they nerf our main damage spell down to 1 potency, that will still be the button we press -all the time- as long as no healing is needed at the moment.

Given how majority of FFXIV encounter works, we'll have plenty of time to watch netflix as we 'play' our healer of choice unless everybody we're paired with simply lack of situational awareness 98% of time.
Also, consider most mechanics in this game are not meant to be healed through.

When mechanics in this game are "Do this or wipe." No amount of healing can save you. This drastically reduces the value of healing. It means you can't catch up to people's mistakes.

Did you get hit? You get a stacking vulnerability debuff that can't be removed. You get a "damage dealt down" debuff that can't be removed. You didn't get into the proper formation, you get sent off the arena and die. Explosions kill everybody. You can count actually heal check mechanics with the fingers of a single hand.

I still don't get the "Shields let you skip mechanics" when most mechanics essentially one shot you, even with shields, or punish you to the point your whole pull gets doomed to enrage and wipe.
