Yep, that about sums up healer gameplay in EW.

[Truen]

So horribly, terribly, woefully boring.

[MellowMink]

Yeah, that's about accurate, although I toss in more Regens every now and then too. Many fights don't require continuous healing, so really limited DPS attacks end up being a majority of my time as a White Mage, which gets really boring really quickly; I wish there wasn't such a villainization of attacking as a healer even when it's the most practical thing to do a lot of the time, but that became especially apparent after seeing Energy Drain's potency lowered specifically for reasons related to unsuccessfully limiting how often Scholars attack.

Limiting DPS actions without making fights require more continuous healing doesn't mean that healers will DPS less; it just means that they'll have more repetitive gameplay during those periods of attacking.

Completely removing the thing that kept WHM interesting in making use of the limited weaving windows to optimize movement. Clipping could've been addressed more elegantly but this is just murdering one of WHM's core identity features it's beyond me how it's "good QoL" for so many people.

When did clipping become an identity?

[KDSilver]

At least, it'll be smoother to weave support and healing abilities between each Glare which is something is a really good QoL for WHM.
Won't change that we still Glare a lot indeed, but better than holding certain abilities for weaving windows.

That's the state WHM is in. Someone on the development team looked at a "2.5" in a database, clicked between the "2" and the ".", pressed backspace once, and ironically pressed the 1 key that everyone still playing WHM is going to press a collective billion times over the course of Endwalker. That's what's considered "good design". Something WHM mains complained about for two years, and they couldn't be bothered to do for all of Shadowbringers. Thank god, the class is saved.

I like the change, but this is the kind of thing so many people argue is "what'll make the expansion good!" / "such a huge change! It's the best thing we should expect to get!" as if it's an Expansion-level change, esp. with Scholar because of the lack of... well, much else. God forbid they introduce something to break up the monotony of Glare / Broil / Malefic spam and, in the case of Scholar, add an interesting graphic effect to ANYTHING.

This! After the job actions trailer popped up, I feel like I've seen everything!

All these people are like "This is unprecedented! HUGE! Y'all can attack AND heal now!" As if good healers couldn't do that in the first place.

Then, they have the nerve to say that we're ungrateful after we question how any of that solves the 1 button spam.
