The Problem with Healer Feedback, and requested changes

[Semirhage]

I don't think anyone was complaining about how 'complex' the DPS rotation was for healers in HW or SB, they were complaining that WHM was garbo because the Lily system back then was garbo, and AST buffs were 'quite good'. So if SE had just reworked the Lily system to be SHB Lilies, but kept the SB design of healers for their damage rotations (multiple DOTs, cards having varied effects, etc), and actually done their job of balancing potencies, noone would have any issues. They have boiled healers down to one nuke, one DOT, SGE vs SCH is Phlegma vs Chain Strat, and they STILL can't get the damage balance right. How much more are they going to push healers through the belt-sanding machine before they realize they will never balance them, so long as raidbuffs exist? What are they gonna do next, remove Chain Strat because people still can't align it with everyone else's buffs?

I would! *raises hand*. But that's because I think Stormblood WHM's damage rotation wasn't that great, and I think Endwalker healer design (including lilies!) is terrible.
