What is a Healer (LifeStaff) supposed to be in your POV?

EXACTLY heavy armor needs to be reserved solely for tanks. You shouldn’t be able to be a DD AND heave the damage mitigation of a tank. Your basically a juggernaut from COD

Healers doing no damage? What an outdated concept. How To Sage FFXIV (BiS) - YouTube

Ahh yes the infamous final fantasy 14.

I’m well aware even in PvE healers are expected to do decent damage.

I guess you’re going to list Rift healers Chloro or harbinger.

I have an issue with the targeting mechanics for some of the abilities. In large group settings, its hard to land Lights Embrace to heal somebody outside my group. Only the AoE heals seem useful but that pretty much leaves lots of skills hanging.

FF14 I never really fell in love with. Now Rift on the other hand was fun to play a healer back in the day. I never really liked Chloro or Harbinger but I played all the Warden, Purifier and Inquisitor vanilla’s and hybrids. When the Justicar hybrids were at their strongest we could be top 3 in dps as well as keeping everyone alive in a raid.

I enjoyed FF14 and rift.

I played a Chloro and harbinger and it was a lot of fun to play a “mage” that specializes in healing but does respectable damage.

Back when I played harbinger if you wasn’t topping charts your rotation was off or your spec. I enjoyed number crunching.

I’d love to see them removing Life Staff and replacing healing with some kind of First Aid profession.
How it would work - FA expert can produce and apply bandages. Bandages cannot be applied in combat, so if you need healing, you have to retreat to FA expert to be healed, while your teammates are trying to protect both of you. Surely, Amazon Games will have to rebalance a lot to implement something like this, but that could make combat a bit more fun than standing in healing pool and trying “outdps” you opponent (who is also standing in healing pool).

Not gonna happen, i know.

While everyone cries to nerf healer everybody misses point. If healer will be easy kill, than everyone will be easy kill. Imaging having instead of 5 dies in OPR 25 or constant respawn screen in wars. That would happen after further healer nerfs It will be click and respawn game. Modify you build, there are classes that secialize in killing heavy healers (spear), but they are garbage for other cases. This is called ballance, you need to specialize in type of kill to do it well.
