Fixing Every Healer Job

[Sebazy]

The more i read those threads the more i feel like healers nowadays are just dps Players in disguise.
The real problem with healers is not the healers themselves its how the enounters are designed. Remove heavily scripted dmg, add more healing checks, make bosses auto attack the tank for half of their hp like how Bahamut used to do back in the day. Remember the coils how you had to stance dance between cleric to apply dots and normal stance to actually heal bcs bosses hit like a truck ? yeah that was engaging and skillfull. This becomes very apparent for me when i play a dps or tank class and most of the healers i get in PF cant even keep up with a mild heal check like the bleed from endsinger ex.

Sadly that’s exactly what the game expects of us. You can see it as far back as Gordias and Midas with some more modern fights outright requiring significant amounts of healer DPS to clear enrage (E8S was probably the worst offender here).

This mentality filters down into comparatively irrelevant content in the same way that forced metas have in the past.

SE made this situation, not the player base.
