    Yeah I have no plans on playing a healer aside from getting my freebie capped scholar off of playing summoner for the role quests. There's going to be a ton of healers from sage dropping, but I'll probably stick to dps maining this expansion since blue dps and green dps put me to sleep with how unengaging their rotations are, gunbreaker nonwithstanding

    FFXIV - 1.0 classic servers (before the meteor) should happen. I think I want it, and I do.

    true when everything is predicted you can pretty much get bored doing the same thing but doing several different stuff is still better then doing just 1 thing the entire time.
    I don't need a bad party, I just need something to do that isn't just a dps rotation and nothing else. Tossing out a heal from time to time is that different thing.

    One thing I've noticed that seems to be common enough, is that people who main healers also seem to like ranged phy dps. I know I do. What is involved in those jobs? Randomness with procs. The random element is key.

    Dancer's heal is pretty good fun to play around with and can be quite potent if you place it well. It's an idea I'm surprised SE haven't done more with, a replacement for Fey Blessing using both the SCH and Lily would be an instant yes from me.

    That and actually feeling like a support whilst also having a simple but enjoyable gameplay loop that ticks all the boxes.

    I'd argue that, for many I think, it's not the randomness so much as they're likely to enjoy being at range more than melee, and then phys ranged is the easier one to pick up (And have some support-y elements like damage reduction, buffs, and heals).

    Not at all. What I am tired of though is having a job gauge that collects dust with my SCH, redraw skills on AST, and the Lily Gauge being entirely passive. I find these to be healer issues the devs may actually address in the future.

    I usually play a DPS job if I want to be engaged that way.

    Not looking forward to it. Hoping the novelty of sage will mask the fact it's also a one-button spam.. At least for a little while.

    I am hoping SGE is going to be something a little different, but probably not since balance must be maintained at all costs, even if it means uninspired or mundane gameplay. I have a feeling once I figure out what the SGE equivalent of all my other heals from the other jobs are I will have the same amount of interest in it I do for the other healers. That will probably be the overall feeling on SGE, once the new wears off and everyone figures out that these abilities are all pretty well the same as the other healers with a handful of gauge fillers and spenders then it will be just another healer.

    Also, will someone please tell me what is up with SE and giving healers, a range casting role, a PBAOE. Healers never spend time getting close in combat and then suddenly you have to if you want to AOE at all, boggles my mind.
