In Final Fantasy XIV, there’s a big problem with the way that healers learn how to heal. I want to talk about it and how you can fix this especially if you find yourself as a part of the problem.

in ffxiv learning to heal something = learning how to keep people alive consistently.
learning to optimize healing something = learning how to do the bare minimum to keep people alive. So you can dps more.
Cart before the horse and all that
The issue also happen to often in dungs sadly and ruins the fun for us casuals a ton 🙁
You don't see many beginner focused guides to healing because there is nothing to heal honestly. Especially in casual content. It is very straight forward.
Use oGCDs over GCDs. In casual content you can never go wrong with this.
On a side note, in many cases what you end up healing is avoidable damage that could have been mitigated/dodged but it wasn't and this effectively turns your job into one of a babysitter hence most of the competent healers quit the game or avoid doing content with pugs.
