Predict the endwalker healing meta!

[Laphicet]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the meta will be zero healers for farm and solo healer for progression, probably solo-SGE or solo-AST.

Assuming they don't give every single hard content healer-targeting mechanics, and provided the party doesn't have a DRK, I'm pretty confident you could do a zero-healer party with the increased amount of support tools classes are getting in general and the increased self-healing tools every tank except DRK is getting. Worst comes to worse you just substitute double-RDM for the two healer slots since their support kit is being enhanced even further. And you can go one healer if absolutely necessary, AST being the best candidate due to its RDPS stuff with div and cards, with SGE coming in second place due to having a large heal kit that doesn't impede the DPS rotation, alongside DPS heal stuff. Plus scholar is fucking boring and Astro is an abomination of lore-destruction and no-fun-allowed changes, so I'd recommend using SGE, personally.

Of course, they could counter this by having every single piece of "hard content" include forced-healer-target mechanics. As those go random if there are no healers and most people can't adapt on the fly to that during farm situations. But something tells me that they won't. They could also raise outgoing damage but if you think they'll do that you need to stop huffing copium.

So optimistic. 2 RDM is overkill.

It's PLD/WAR, 4 SMN, 1 DNC and 1 RDM.
