I wonder if we will get a statement from Yoshi-P about his thoughts on the controversy.
#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE
WHM is my favorite Job in the game. I really wish Holy was usable in single target rotations. The action is a FF staple after all. If Glare IV wasn’t locked behind a 120sec ability, lower Dia’s DoT timer, and we can use Holy on boss / raid fights, that would solve WHM’s dps rotation. No additional dps buttons are needed.My own favorite healer WHM will have 4 damage buttons for single target in DT. WHich should be enough to remove the feeling of using only Glare. People who don't want complex rotations already have to deal with those 4 buttons, but the buttons are implemented in a way that gives very little variation. For some reason the FF devs decided to make a system where Dia is only needed once every 30 seconds, Missery every 1 minute at most, and the new DT damage buttons every 2 minutes (3 times). So in between those huge cooldowns and DoT duration, you're just back to Glare spam.
The healing kit is great, though most abilities aren’t used much due to low damage output in all forms of content, which needs to be addressed. Despite my complaints about WHM dps, I want to heal more too.
Exactly, the changes we are asking for are so minimalWHM is my favorite Job in the game. I really wish Holy was usable in single target rotations. The action is a FF staple after all.

Make glare 4 proc off every 5 glares, have glare 4 have a 40% chance to generate a “diacloud” proc then give back aero 3 on its old 18 second timer and WHM would be literally flawless
We aren’t asking for the moon
As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.
I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
Got any ideas to include Holy into WHM’s single target rotation? I’m thinking that it’d combo off of the 3 Glare IV’s used after PoM. Sort of like a finisher. Maybe get a buff that would allow apply a DoT effect on the NPC when Holy is used.Exactly, the changes we are asking for are so minimal

As for Aero III, have it be reintroduced as a weaker version of Glare IV at the early levels.
That’s probably how I would do it, something like if glare 4 comes from 5 glare 3’s then POM could empower holy and holy becomes a gain on single target that you could use three of then that would trigger an empowered finisherGot any ideas to include Holy into WHM’s single target rotation?

So empowered holy (sort of like how holy might works on PLD) takes the current place of glare 4, and glare 4 becomes a button that you press every 20 seconds or so and can proc diacloud’s

The hardest content in the game mandates the use of all healer cooldowns.
Easy content is easier than hard content.
So easy content doesn't need all healer cooldowns.
What a simple argument. What are you asking for here exactly? Go do hard content that requires healers to heal. Or don't, not my buisness. Thread is full of people who only do easy content complaining that it is easy. Do hard content then. You don't want to? Great, but that's a personal choice, and you can't really complain when you don't take the hard content offered to you which actually does require healers to heal.
Incredibly, they actually haven't made easy content easy enough yet since plenty of y'all are still single pulling and ypyt'ing. Please look forward to it.
