The question is, are tank mains actually OK with that? I suspect they aren't.

As a former tank main I think both sides of the equation are broken. Ran through ARR as a Warrior and never stopped to think "if only I had Hallowed Ground on a 25 second cooldown I could clear this pull" and switched to DRK once I hit Heavensward which is... certainly one of the tanks in the game.

Last time I played it was a Praetorium run where the Sage spammed Prognosis, not E. Prognosis, Prognosis. I'm sure Duty Finder will be in good hands while I play PIC.

I would also like to add my name to this.

The healer role for me no longer feels like it makes any sense in the larger context of the game. My main issues is a poor DPS rotation that feels hollow and unrewarding. In addition, why are we stuck casting the same main damaging ability for another 2-3years?! (glare, malefic fall ect)...Potency buffs were a cheap way to keep from making fresh animations.

Another large issue for me is class fantasy. There is SO much potential in what already exists but it is consistently squandered in favouring homogenisation. I get it. Its complicated to balance it all, but please put a team together that actually PLAYS healers to address the issues that confront us.

You guys did it. Zelpa is talking about it which Yoshi-P watches her videos. We will see what happens.

He certainly based much of 7.0 and its marketing on her feedback about midcore content.

Let's see what happens.

I get the feeling this strike is everyone saying "design a healer that suits my specific play style" and everyone having a different play style. Some want more damage and randomized damage, some want more DPS options, some want more support options, some want to change it into a support role and add other jobs to it. In the end the problem is that there are very different wants from everyone and no matter what they choose the people that didn't get their way are going to be right back here saying the same things.

And she has a pretty good take on it https://youtu.be/eg_-J2AMh0U?feature=shared&t=4756
I agree with her take far more than the opinions of the healer main she is watching and commenting on.

Funniest thing to wake up to

I'm sure the 184 page thread gets far more attention than a Zepla VOD. lol

That said, they continue to drag their feet on healer changes even though the team has stated in the past that they are aware. Based on the changes we've seen so far, my hopes aren't high for Dawntrail. Even if they introduce a few new mechanics to give healers a "little" more to do.

I will take literally ANYTHING that fulfills these simple desires (ast specific):
-a way to consistently be able to use a dps rotation but not fixed but instead requires some level (simple at the lowest skill level but able to be nuanced for maximum damage and possibly have multiple different variations) of understanding of to pull off.
-give me my cards back!!! I like playing at higher APM (we do not need the cards to have multiple charges, however. that was a common complaint)
-cards have flavor again and do unique things based on lore and I can place them on allies at my own digression
-pruning of the healer kit but only where necessary as I do not need to use a majority of it

bonus:
-delete undraw (if it hasn't already been deleted)
-delete minor arcana
-rework synastry to also interact with abilities like essential dignity and have other interactions with the kit
-give ast back its sects AND have those stances interact with the dps kit (without destroying the dps kit in the process of course)
-if the two sects return just delete neutral sect
-bring back royal road
-bring back time dilation (tweaked as needed)
-give us back the old effects celestial opposition had (but tweaked as needed)
