I never tried to do savage and ultimate content because i simply fear getting banned for not doing perfect run on my first try.

Hi undead, I totally understand but I would like to share some information with you that might change your mind. I highly recommend finding a static if you are interested in learning how to raid in this game over party finder. There are several recruitment discords that you can join to find a team. They have lots of different types of team such as casual teams which has a lot of new players that are new to raiding and want to learn without the pressure of being kicked for not know what to do. There are also what they call midcore teams which is typically has players that kind of know how to play but do silly things like throwing out asylum when there is no damage or dots on the party. So you got some options, as for pf. Well I promise you that if someone kicks you cause they think you are bad at the game, they probably are worse than you think you are. You have no idea on the amount of people who think they are good but actually aren't in party finder. So don't let that stop you from joining a PF. Go in there and learn so you can enjoy the content and build your confidence up. I still think finding a static is better cause you will actually prog fights with them vs going into pf and wasting your time with the so called good players in pf. I hope this helps and hopefully see you in pf progging. Enjoy the new expansion!

Criterion at least managed to make trash pulls interesting, but the healing there isn't any more difficult then savage overall.

Eh, I'd say it's ever so slightly more interesting than savage cause at least you aren't stepping on another healer's foot trying to heal the party.
One healer with bloated potency is an issue of itself, two that's just ridiculous. Still has the ever-going issue of being able to heal just on oGcDs though, but that's why there's multiple issues to tackle in the healer role as stated prior.

Roulettes are a major portion of the reward structure (including the gear required for harder content if not an omnicrafter) and are essential for ensuring queues pop for people trying to run specific content (story trials for instance)

Just do X will never be the answer, the game's health literally has a hard requirement of healers going into roulettes only to get level 4 gameplay at level 90.

Thank you for the info. I was thinking of maybe healing the next criterion since people here keep saying it's engaging, but if I was already just one-button spamming in savage then it would be a waste of my time to gear up for criterion only to have the same one-button spam gameplay.

It really doesn't and shouldn't matter how much content someone has done as a healer. Healesr should have compelling gameplay at all levels of play. Not just savage/ultimate. In extreme, in dungeons, and even in solo instance duties/leveling quests, healers deserve better than they have right now imo in terms of dps buttons. (They don't need more damage total but could really use more engagement in how they do that damage, without over correcting and giving them f ull dps job rotations.)

The problem is Mr Flower that if we make the easiest content in the game challenging enough to force the casual playerbase to learn how their characters work and actually play the game properly, they'll just cry and leave instead of actually challenging themselves. It happens EVERY TIME ANY GAME DOES THIS. I'm not saying I think healers should only have a challenge in harder content, I'm saying its not possible if square wants to keep a playerbase.

Because nobody wants to raise the floor, people want the ceiling to not be on the floor

Madam sylphie can still get by cure 1 spamming, I’d like something to do since I don’t need to cure 1 spam, somehow the other roles have this

I mean maybe if they made it the most difficult thing ever, perhaps...but I think the real reason a player base disbands is because there are just not enough players/content to satiate the players in the game. This has been seen in many an mmo; when there are no longer the people there that want to do "X", "X" looks less interesting to newcomers who want to do "X" because there isn't any communal excitement behind it, and therefore "X" becomes obsolete leading the newcomers to quit.

Healing was more challenging in ARR and HW casual content but the game was growing. How is that possible?
