Do we really need them?

There's absolutely not enough incoming damage in trials and alliance raids to require 2 healers. The only pain point is all the annoying insta-kill mechs these devs love to use that make it dangerous to have only one rezzer, since you can't always count on a SMN or RDM to be both present and awake.

Yet more reason they should enable Phoenix Downs in combat.

You hit the nail on the coffin. I agree. Not sure why can’t use Phoenix downs. It’s ridiculous. This hand just isn’t what it use to be back in the early years. Before it become a massive success and they destroyed the jobs.

Because the healer role's niche now is 'has access to the ability to res, but does not deal enough damage to justify the stance of 'Why should I res and lose damage?''. Giving everyone access to PDs removes one of the few things left that healers have going for them probably
