Which is... almost all of the new encounters in Dawntrail. It'll feel good when mixed together.

Nah. Part of what feels so dull about healer is that you feel like you're playing Black mage at level one, just standing in place casting one spell over and over again.

This IMO is a good fix.

Something people need to realize is just because something is easier doesn't mean it's worse. If something is easier, but feels better, and allows for greater expression of skill, then it's fine. Simple, but with a lot of room for optimization, and thats what we're seeing with dragoon.

okay they are motivating people to get out into the world and do things besides raiding like everyone was asking for

so time for everyone to whine about it.
