Healers are now great peelers with great burst damage every 15-20s or so. It is absolutely nothing compared to before, playing as an aggressive dps is very rewarding now, paradoxal though it may seem. WHM Glare+LB+Misery+Dash does a lot, and you'll often see them topping FL rankings both in kills, damage AND heal now. This is nuts.

In Crystal Conflict Sage has been very good so far, due to the arena being smaller. This allows the LB to shine in terms of damage, topped with double Toxikon+Phlegma AND good survivability when you go melee. It requires to be reactive to heal efficiently though.

In short, healing is nothing like before, in fact we are are some of the best burst dps now.
