I've played for a while, but took a break after finishing Shadowbringers. I came back about two months ago.
I have always loved healing in this game. It was awesome balancing DPS and heals as SCH, and I felt like WHM was easy mode. I healed a bit, then just ran dps for most of the dungeon.
Now, I feel like I'm constantly pushed to the limit. Tanks run right to a boss's door in dungeons, dragging all the mobs with them. If I stop healing them for a second, they are dead. I can't switch to damage spells until just a few mobs are alive.
I used to get 1-3 commendations a run. Now I'm lucky if I get 1. I just feel like a crappy healer at this point. I don't want to risk DPSing because it usually means the tank just dies and then we wipe, but if I'm healing the whole time, I feel like a beginner healer that can't balance dps and heals. It's just not fun anymore.
Is this just the state of healers right now or do I really need to rework my play style?
