Do healers actually want a more complex damage rotation?

[Rozeee]

If you want to output high damage you have 13 jobs to choose from in which you can do exactly that. However, I do agree with the healing issue to some degree - content simply needs to be more difficult so that healing is more relevant.

I want to do more damage because the game has given everyone a wealth of tool to heal themselves and the party. If the game is designed with this much self-sustain (enough to live through any normal content) then it isn't unreasonable to assume that the output of DPS is all that matters. After all, why bring a job if we don't need its main function and other jobs can clear the content faster? Healer doesn't bring anything to the table.

I don't really want to do more DPS, but this is the only way my job isn't straight useless. Content difficulty can only go so far if it's mandatory for progression. Not to say I would mind it but just being realistic.
