All while not even using the myriad of FREE abilities at their disposal or understanding the main mechanic of their job.

And because a sizeable amount of this community don't actually know how healers even work, they'll congratulate whoever just spammed their aoe heal the most and blows their entire wad of cooldowns on a minor scratch over the one that heals when the party needs it and picks up the slack when Captain Cure inevitably bites the dust to some mechanic or avoidable aoe. The only job that's more thankless than being a halfway decent healer is being a Rez Mage in an Alliance Raid.

And before anyone tries to accuse me of being some "tryhard sweaty elitist", I spend more time G-Posing in random areas than I do playing the game, and I tend to afk in Gridania on top of the light poles. I'm casual af.
Im unsure how to combat this "healing culture". People were taught incorrectly and been conformed to not caring. I main sch. I know what its like to heal and see people die in-between dmg spells. You start feeling out the group and value healing over dmg.
