How to fix the healer problem.

[Hanayumi]

Everyone on this board has a their own fix for the healer problem.

Thats cause there is no all in one fix, some group will have issues no matter whats is changed. As it stands a majority of JP is happy with current healer while western players still find them on the boring side; more support, more dps, more heals, too dull, too complex, too many buttons...

This is also compounded by the fact that our issue doesn't belong to just one facet. You (general you) can't really just single out an issue [A] without speaking of issue [B], [C], [D], and so on.

I.e. having 70% plus buttons of your kits being dedicated for healing is not a problem on its own. But once you add more and more 'tiny issues' on top of that like "lack of damage to heal" ; "lack of nuance to heal (boss forcing you to move so you can't just sit still to cast)" ; "too many collective sustenance between 4-8 players", these compound with each other, leading to the point where you might be asking "Ok so since I'm not going to heal much, what else am I going to do when I don't need to do that?" From this point you'll start noticing even more tiny issues such as "lol 1 2 1 1 1 1" ; "no (de)buff to upkeep" ; "lack of job kit interaction". Axing any one of them will not fix the rest in the feedback loop.

All of these adds up and like you've said, there is no all in one fix.
