Healing is not hard

[FenyxRising]

Please drop your ego. Why is it that so many healers pretend they're god's greatest gift to their static or party finder ? You ain't playing anything hard. Stop the egotripping.

thank u

Not in the best position to comment here really, as haven't tried playing Healer in any meaningful way..... because I hate the idea of any team relying on me for anything other than DPS for one.

I guess this all comes back to the over-discussed 'opinions' issue, but I do wish some forumites were more open-minded. I mean, I feel absolutely humiliated when I mention, here, that I still find the game difficult.

Yo, I remember a few times in duty finder where I pissed my healer off so they resolved to not heal me... only they couldn't stop themselves from hitting Medica 2 every five seconds or prevent Eos from just doing her thing, so I never died.

Hilarious stuff. Healing is so easy they couldn't intentionally fail at it. Especially now that tanking is super sustainable, even beyond the tank themselves, it takes a concerted effort between the tank and the healer for anyone in their party to die.

Love the idea that there's still ego tripping healers out there pissing off OP; far as I can tell they don't normally come to this forum. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

Healer is the eaiest to play when it comes to abilites,rotation..ect
Healer difficulty is tied to your group and content you do.

I dont find healing hard, but terrible groups can make healing chaotic ( but i kinda enjoy that).
But it require more splitted focus than the other roles.
so in that sense it's "harder" than the other roles - when things goes bad.

Feels kind of bait tbh?

I haven’t seen powertrippy healers since the days of HW.

In casual content any old healer with a pulse is all you ever need. In extremes the enrage checks are lax enough that again, there’s very little pressure outside of being able to survive mechanics and contribute cool-downs etc.

Feel free to prove me wrong with recent examples though++

your bait is as bad as our healer kits op. a shame, since you've had some good takes in general.
You aren't wrong though, healing is an absolute joke in most content and the little it isnt requires a skilled healer. A skilled healer, 2 is excessive.

but for any idiot who wanders in here. Yes, an experienced healer's complex and bitterness is completely justified. A good healer is rare these days because they've all quit

This post is about me and I really appreciate the personal attention. I will no longer be on an ego trip while I play. The problem has officially been solved.

You're welcome

Not saying that I agree with ego-tripping as a healer, but healing in Party Finder (especially reclear parties) is most of the time hard and stressful for all the wrong reasons.

Find a static, then! Even if my schedule allowed... healing in statics is the complete opposite of being too easy and boring as it can be.

OP is right, we're nothing special. We're expendable, replaceable. The TOP no-healer run proved it.

SE should make healers so hard to perform on that it DOES justify an ego. Just as an april fools or something. It'd be interesting to see how many of the 'healers should be about healing' players eat crow when it turns out they cannot keep up on healing. Just make everything hit like on-content Living Liquid TEA for a day or two

OP I'm sad that this is the best that you could come up with for the healer forums after all of your hard work in the other forums. I guess you're better off creating another thread on FFXIV and YouTube content creators.
