Latest Official Developer Statements About Healer DPS?

[Absurdity]

You can't use P8S before the nerf since they explicitly said it was tuned too high and shouldn't have been.

Then we can just use every other savage fight that doesn't have a joke of an enrage timer. E8S wasn't possible in crafted gear without healers dpsing either.

Could you beat some fights with the healers doing no damage? Maybe, but it would put an unnecessary burden on your DPS and potentially also your tanks to perform well above the average, healer dps is absolutely factored into the expected party damage.

That quote from 2021 should be taken with a humongous grain of salt. I would find it interesting to know how really "unique" Sage feels to an experienced healer ? I would say that while it has some nice animations, it's not really really so distinct from the other healers.

It's quite evident, every time they make public statements about jobs, that they're just really out of touch with a lot of aspects of their own game, Yoshi's comments about healers are just the most obvious ones.

Or they've become so isolated in their own mmo bubble that they actually think their design is the most creative and unique thing ever. That would make me a lot more worried because we've seen it before.
