Any monkey can play a ShB healer in Duty Finder content. This kind of ego might be warranted in WoW, but it's definitely not in FFXIV. Healing is the easiest role, even in Savage, and people typically refuse to play it because it's extremely boring. Someone has to press the "heal party after raid-wide" button every 30 seconds, but you're not special for taking on that role at all. You sound like a minimum wage employee at a grocery store bragging about "I'm the reason the food is on the shelf for you to put in your cart. I'M the reason why you were able to pay for it with your credit card so the anti-theft scanner doesn't beep." It's honestly a pathetic thing to have a superiority complex about. You didn't pick the role to be essential, you picked the role to be lazy. Anyone can press the heal party button after the hurt party spell. Most people strive to be better than that. You don't.

Also, despite it being mind-numbingly boring, I typically do queue as healer simply to ensure that the slot isn't filled by someone like you. There's absolutely nothing worse in this game than queuing into a group with an entitled and lazy healer with princess syndrome. Every single Duty Finder horror story is a result of attitudes like yours.

Healers are more complicated than DPS and tanks in savage content. AST is arguably the most complicated role in the game to play optimally and they only have 2 DPS buttons to press on GCD. Not only because you don't have an actual rotation that you strictly follow like DPS and tanks, but because optimal play requires managing 1min long oGCD cds and the cooperation of your co-healer and party members if you are not out gearing the content. The second factor is entirely not dependant on individual skills.

It was easier for me to play Summoner in savage prog than it was to play White mage. Optimal play is actually so easy to reach with DPS role, you can do that even if 5 people have died throughout the savage run. People legit have nothing going on with DPS roles. Nothing to look or watch out for that a healer doesn't have to, outside of a simple 1-2-3 rotation filler. They have no responsibility whatsoever outside using Addle on the boss before big raid-wides. They are simply pressing the exact same buttons that they would have pressed when attacking a dummy while watching what the boss is going to do next. If anything DPS jobs have the most predictable pattern of playstyle which is what I find truly boring. Not being able to do anything else outside 1-2-3.
