That’s simple, healers are not a cool job, we don’t sell games, and will not be the poster character of an expansion either.900 pages of this thread, before most of the healer feedback was centralised because people stopped caring there was also dozens of other 20+ page threads all going over different topics with zero acknowledgment
But they will ruin viper when literally nobody can point to a thread where people complained about it so at this point I think they just do whatever they want then comb through the forums after the fact to find someone to use as a justification scapegoat
Imagine the warrior of light movie character trying to look cool in a white mage outfit and healing. Very few can think of that without laughing.
Healers are second row in priority, we are around because… because… umm… are we still needed to help people play anymore?
I really don’t know anymore myself and that is as a 19,000 hour WHM, playing since 2.0.
Maybe I’ll figure it out, but as things are now, I’m on break, how long, unsure. I’d rather play another game as 95% of my spells cast are DPS and that is not fun for me.



Actually, having a healer on the forefront would be cool. Even if DRK got butchered with Shb.. it was a cool marketing thing atleast?
It's about time we get a healer on the cover of the damn game!


It, one day, they use a healer as poster job, i'm betting it will be sage.
8.0 should bring in two new Healers, and have the WoL be a healer in the trailer.
Maybe that might motivate them to actually try to figure out how to get people interested in playing the role, instead of trying to tell them to go play Ultimate or telling people who don't want to play healer to just go play it.


The job design team doesn't take feedback properly the fact DT kept the 2 minute CDs is evidence of this. For as much as people argued and disagreed pretty much everyone agreed that the 2 minute meta was awful and people loathed it.
If they took actual feedback this would of been gone in DT.




The worst part is they have made the healers so “anti masculine” (I’m not criticising gender roles here but honestly can you see meteor wearing a wedding dress and casting flower spells) that I physically cannot imagine meteor ever being a healer
Maybe in like 3.0 when SCH was a tactician poison mage but can you imagine the 8.0 trailer and meteor casts seraphism, it would look like an actual joke and I hate that as a male healer main who plays a males character
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
WHM definitely kinda suffers from that... Especially so since they've gone from using the elements to just flowers and light as the Conjurer roots are completely fucking gone... That combined with the casting animation of the WHM specific spells, definitely not exactly intended for a male character.The worst part is they have made the healers so “anti masculine” (I’m not criticising gender roles here but honestly can you see meteor wearing a wedding dress and casting flower spells) that I physically cannot imagine meteor ever being a healer

The other healers don't feel like the WoL trying to be a magical girl on their animations at least.

That's a magical girl transformation if I've ever seen one.
