I'm bored when I heal because I need more complex DPS rotations

Back on the other topic, if doing DPS as healers was more fun, I think there would be much less need for healers wanting more to heal. In fact, I wonder if replacing some OGCD heals and buttons with DPS ones would make healing more difficult and enjoyable by forcing GCD heals more often and having to properly balance between heals and DPS.

You got to the core of the issue with healers, the risk vs reward of healing isn't there, what to me makes healer fun (beyond random DPS rotation varity) is the trying to fit in as much damage as possible while keeping the party alive, when you can do both at the same time it makes the entire role feel boring.

Which is funny cause if a healer casts a heal in most dungeons they'll get cursed out. Like how hard is it for people to understand, most of our kit is both not needed and offensive to use, so either give us skills for what you've set us up to be doing or change the same so we can use the stuff you've given us without getting kicked from party.

I feel like it's the same arguement for why Paladin shouldn't be spamming clemency tbh, but those said healers would get mad at a new PLD for using it while using healing that isn't needed. In reality as a PLD i feel insulted that I get gcd healed when I have more then enough self sustain, for pretty similar reasons why a healer would get frustrated at a PLD for spamming that ability

Although most people (me included) usually just get on with the duty, if someone wants to waste time healing only or something more power to them I guess? It's likely more faster getting through the duty them making a fuss over someone not playing optimally lol.
