Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

If we have encounter that's designed to make us use those bloatsome healing buttons then sure.. but that's just not the case for the most part.

So yes, while we do have other buttons, how often we press them pales in comparison to our single target.

Weird, I use them. I use more then 1 button. Idk lol

Sorry it should be...

2 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

Lots of 1s and a few 2s. Yeah that does sound abit dull. But I use more then that personally.
Weird, Ive never only had to use 1 or 2 buttons unless I was synced down to Old Early Game Content.
Maybe Im trying to hard or my parties suck

You're dancing around the issue at large. We indeed lack DPS skills, and our variety only comes in terms of healing; therefore, when downtime from needing to heal occurs, which is very often, there's little to no variety. As a result, since that downtime only ever gets larger, it means that we, as healers, are less engaged. The simpler the content, the more this is exacerbated.

...confused. I addressed the issue yet Im dancing around it? Doesnt quite make sense unless your taking the Boldened "Main Role" part to seriously.
Or something..lol. But no I get it which is why I mentioned it, there is a lack of options. Or is the argument that the content is just to easy therefor being a healer has to much downtime? Which at times I can also agree on.

For God's sake, we fire off more of our bog-standard dps spell than tanks and even a few melee classes can auto attack, how can anyone look at that and think "man, healer combat must be so exciting!". What, do you think spot healing Lil' Timmy after he stubbed his toe on an aoe with a 7 second indicator or throwing out a fire-and-forget barrier/regen for a heavily telegraphed raid-wide makes up for the fact that our "rotation" is absolute dog water?

Or maybe you're unaware of the fact that every healer (except WHM lol) is so full of healing/mitigation abilities with negligible to non-existent costs that you can easily go through an entire encounter without having to cast a single healing GCD?

Coming in Hot XD Not arguing about Rotation, just the idea that only 1 button is pressed as a healer....when I press more then 1 button. So its like, whats going on.
I guess I am unaware lol But Ive never been in a fight where not once Ive had to use a Heal.
No idea if its a Me Problem or my team sucks.

This is a semanthics nitpick.

Lol all Im saying is it sounds weird that people say you only press 1 button as a healer. When my experience as a healer sounds very different.
I dont disagree with and I support the idea of Healers being more engaging, or at least the content could spruce up abit to make healing abit more urgent
