    Yeah...for how much DPS XIV's healers actually contribute their offensive kits are painfully limited compared to a lot of other games that follow the "heals first" mentality, which feels rather anomalous.

    Moreso when the devs keep insinuating that they wanted healers to be focused on healing yet most of their casts in a given encounter are going to be their two offensive buttons.

    Yep.

    Even when having to vomit gcd heals every mech bc people stand in stupid and co healer isn't contributing after running out of ogcd resources, there's still broil taking 50% ish of all my casts just to rub it in.

    I don't think there's any way to spin spending 70-90% of your GCDs on one singular spell in an 8 minute fight as good design, yet people try to anyway.
