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

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

I play a healer precisely because I suck at complex dps rotations. I can perform at a mediocre level as dancer or red mage, but beyond that, no, I'm bad at dps. If healer dps rotations became more complex, and I was expected to perform at a certain dps level as a healer, I could no longer play FFXIV. I don't want my healer dps rotation to become more complex. If anything has to change, I'd prefer healing itself become slightly more challenging (emphasis on the slightly). If you want complex dps rotations, there's a plethora of dps jobs that can provide that. Healer's may be capable and expected to provide dps, but that's not their primary role, and complicating their dps will just reinforce the idea that healers are just green dps. That's not a notion I think should be reinforced.

Then don't engage that 'complex dps rotation'. It's that easy. Why do you care about the 'expectation to perform at certain dps level as a healer' if you want to heal?

Oh that's right~ Because today's 'dps rotation' for healer is so braindead easy people start expecting us to actually dps. It's easy, right? So how do people even mess that up?!

Now what if the rotation is harder... maybe people wouldn't bat an eye if we make a mistake... yeah... those times existed...
