How to easily have healers dps engaged ( yet another thread)

[Katish]

A big issue I see with healers atm is the whole concept of shield and pure healing, not sure why they even thought this was a good direction but here we are.
Regardless, the shield healers can provide both strong mit and healing, their counterparts the pure healers provide little mitigation with the exception of Neutral Sect. But here's the thing, there is no trade off because people want mit more than healing and the dmg of white mage and astrologian are behind in their counterparts. So we have a lean to more sage and scholar unfortunately. And although all healer design needs a change IMHO, they should consider mitigation is wanted MORE moving forward and balance the healers accordingly if they are going to be working within this shield vs pure healer concept.
