Let us use phoenix downs in combat, give healers more damage buttons, and a bit else

[Lorika]

I also main astro but I say MORE BUTTONS. and less healing buttons that do the same thing. The 1 button spamathon has gone on long enough.

You do realize that, if SE add more DPS spell on healer it will be like Picto and VPR : still one button spam ^^ (well, maybe two )

As an astrologian main.. no thanks, no more buttons, if I wanted to DPS I'd be a DPS.

That's fine, you can sit there and spam 1 button if you like. Just don't remove that choice from everyone else.

The excuse of "I don't want to, I DoN't DPS BeCauSe I'm a HeaLer, well, also a healer main. As the old expression goes- if you can walk and chew gum at the same time - it's possible to decide whether to heal or DPS - including if a card is needed, especially with how they've been simplified.

Interestingly enough, I don't realize that, because I've never found myself just spamming 1 or2 buttons on Picto, however perhaps you play yours very differently. On Viper, I wouldn't know the details however I doubt that it's anywhere as simplified as healers.

You totally missed the point and the joke tone... But i will make more clearer for you : All the DPS Spell will be added on only one or two button like how picto and VPR work with they base skills.

So, in the end, you still spam mainly one button.... because, seriously, SE don't care about Healer so they will take the lazy way.

They could just up the primitive game mechanics so healers could actually have a real job but that’s not possible because at the end of the day it’s a PlayStation game.

You' re correct, I'm still missing the both your logic and what you see as being funny in it.

PCT’s aetherhue combo is on 4 buttons (though could be condensed to 3) is anyone gonna argue that literally porting it 1 to 1 (not saying they should just a thought experiment) wouldn’t be a massive improvement for literally any of the healers

Like the aetherhue combo is actually good, the fact that it’s condensed doesn’t change the fact that it flows well and fells impactful

Just as much as you don't speak for everyone else.

If you're pressing 1 button as an Astrologian then I promise you are doing something wrong, so might I suggest learning to play the class properly?

That’s obviously a figure of speech

The minute to minute gameplay of healers is one button spam

Don’t “acshooly its about 5 buttons” when you know exactly they mean minute to minute

The problem isn't healers have ''1 button'' because they don't, that's factually wrong, the problem lies within every other class being able to self sustain. Healers don't need more damage; other classes need less self sustain so we have more reason to heal.

It's not a case of 'healers boring, they need to dps' .. No, I want to heal, I'm a healer, I enjoy healing. I don't enjoy every other class having a heal, raise, heal over time, shield, and so on. Every other class has a skill that diminishes a healers soul purpose, and that should be removed.

I will vehemontly disagree with anyone who thinks healers need more buttons for healers ala 'dps' to make it interesting, because I want to heal, that's the role I picked, healer. I'm not against doing DPS but it's not my main priority.
