Healer are no longer Healers we are DPS

[Scura]

Why do you continue to take away a Healers' main job...Healing?????
It has been getting worse and worse since Alexander. Why can we not focus on the job we are supposed to be doing...HEALING!!!

If you're raiding and all you do is heal, you're not helping your group. Now offensive cooldowns are 1.5 seconds there's no point not to help DPS.

If you've been grumbling about it since HW you really need to get over it.

If we are to be DPS where is our damage rotation?

Translation: when my party is topped up I want to do nothing. Stop being lazy. We don't even have a rotation. ABC has been the game design forever.

I get OP. I wanna help my group in the form of healing too. It doesn't mean that's what I do. I wish it was what I HAD to do, I wish it was necessary but it isn't. Heal and help out with DPS. Instead I DPS and help out with healing instead. 99% of the time I press 1 button and every 30 seconds another one. And this isn't even an exaggeration. I am literally spamming DPS buttons the entire fight. Imagine MNK but with only 2 GCD's and the entire rest of the kit is just CD's that you weave. That's what we're playing. Instead of adding DPS with our CD's, we do healing instead.
CD's just aren't engaging enough. If they don't modify GCD's and simply are press and forget... it's just not enough. And that's what most CD's are. Give us damage to heal and a more engaging healing kit. Or give us more DPS buttons and keep it how it is. Just something. Anything. But not this.

In Sage toolkit looks like it.

You may be right about needing to get over it, however, there's no need for you to be rude about your reply.

I have been playing this game since beta and I remember the way a healer used to work and I loved it. I do not like the transition from a pure healer to being a DPS because when raiding, healing is only wanted a limited amount of time and DPS basically all of it. This transition feels more like they should just get rid of the healer category all together and just make is a special kind of DPS.

Go and play WoW please, this is not, Healers have always been Green Dps, albeit with absolutely shittier mechanics.

Hey man healers in wow dps too, they're just not expected too like in FFXIV. Some classes actually need to dps to heal.

My argument is that I NEVER want the party topped up, I want constant damage.
