People keep saying this and that and that and this.
Compared to FFXIV, how much are WoW healers healing compared to FFXIV in M+ content?
Kinda sick of the hyperbole in the other thread I want actual facts.

These are Raid logs, I’m really not sure how comparable FF dungeons are to WoW.
TLDR, the difference is big.

Depended on the fight. In general though, each boss in M+ has a pattern to their damage. Some patterns have bigger gaps between damaging events, or more ways to ignore the damage, such as immunes. Even without being able to ignore mechanics though, there was usually multiple portions of a boss fight I could push towards dpsing rather than healing.
It’s hard to really give a percentage because each boss has its own damage patterns. But blizz’s boss design for M+ leaves gaps to focus on dps when everyone is doing mechanics correctly.
Trash may be easy enough to go full dps, or hard enough to demand a full focus on healing. That depends on your pulling.
Exp is from M+ to 20 in s1/2.
So I guess I might actually be in the position of literally just spamming living flame :S
This is doubtful unless you’re running content below your group’s ability. The design of M+ dungeons in both BFA and SL was one of very little unavoidable damage. There were usually a handful of specific cases of group wide damage, but most of the dungeon was pretty scant of healing requirements unless the group made mistakes. This left healers as mostly just gimped 4th DPS once the groups learned to avoid unnecessary damage.
In DF, the dungeons are dealing massive amounts of unavoidable damage. There will still be downtime when healers get to throw out some damage, but they’ll spend a much higher percentage of globals on healing in DF.
Final fantasy is extremely boring and you have to dps or you fall asleep in a dungeon as a healer
DArn so I’m literally going to spam cure all dungeon long >_<
