Ignorance is a damn bliss with these "Two people" in this thread so far....


Anyone with a single brain cell can tell that "Spamming one button is not FUN

I agree! Spamming a sequence of three+ buttons is when the true fun starts!

I mean.. Obvious troll aside, with that kind of reasoning every job should be a one-button spam since it doesn't seem to make any difference to you. At least it'll be super accessible. And by your standards, also fun.

The reality is that a line has to be drawn at some point. And there's a forum full of healer mains saying that it isn't in the right spot. And one gladiator saying it is? (I'm assuming that's what you're saying since, honestly, it just looks like you're being contrarian for the sake of it).
As for the healer here, I can't tell if this is your main or an alt but to make things short:
Yes, we do realize that if you play your class casually it doesn't really matter, but it equally wouldn't matter to those players if SE raised the ceiling a bit since they aren't at cap either way. The only pitfall is not creating too big a dps gap between player bases but there are plenty of ways healers could be more challenging while respecting that.

Edit: looking over forums again (not tired this time) looks like I'm getting baited by trolls. Live and learn.

If having a one-button rotation is good, fun gameplay for healers, it should also be good, fun gameplay for casters, right? If it's okay for WHM to spend half the fight casting Glare, then it's okay for BLM to spend half the fight casting Fire. Not Fire 4, or Fire 3, just Fire; we'll cut the BLM kit all the way back to Fire and Thunder, give them one nuke, and one DoT, same as every healer. No Astral Fire/Ice to worry about, no Enochian to maintain, no Xenoglossy procs to watch, no Ley Lines to worry about positioning, just the pure unadulterated fun of a 211111111 rotation.

How many people would still play BLM at that point? Would BLM be a fun, engaging class to play?

No? Why not? After all, BLMs are just "spamming a sequence of three+ buttons." And you said that wasn't fun.

What are my other 20 buttons doing?

That's pretty important you know, seeing as a healer isn't just "21111111111".
