That ship has long sailed. The dev's mind is clearly already made in regards to which direction they want to take the healer role and it will only get worse and worse with each expansion. Better to cut your loses and pull the bandaid off now.

so are people wise up yet? Remember those threads 3 weeks about how it's harder to heal now or healer are broken yada yada. You know ... the kind of thread that people make at the beginning of every single expack and just never seem to remember how it went?

Now, people properly geared up, no longer eat mechanic or tank the floor, healing is as easy as it ever be. Frankly it's so potent now that in Ex if I have to cast a GCG heal, it's not because the contents need healing, just the group playing badly.

I solo 24 current content as a warrior from 47%. Dps and healers are not needed

Meteion is spreading it, I swear!!!!

Don't kill off healing SE. I've always liked playing healing or support. FFXIV doesn't have a true support role like BRD, RDM or COR like in FFXI so I'm stuck with healer. With how many jobs FFXIV has they could honestly make a "support" group out of the existing jobs and a couple of well placed ones in xpacs. I'd like to see it, but not holding my breath either.

For there not being healers required, there sure is a lot of healing in that video.

Jokes aside, this isn't uncommon in any game. People do weird things for a challenge and for fun. All Paladin runs, all Gunbreaker and Warrior runs, etc. Just shows if you can follow the mechanics perfectly, which sadly 99.99999175 of players cannot, you take less damage. What this is showing is perhaps certain tanks have too much healing.

EX isn't the hardest content though. You don't even see 8 thanks clearing E12S, least when it was relevant so....yeah healers are needed to some extent.

There's this thing called latency, and focus for a lot of us you know. We can know the mechanics perfectly, and still not move fast enough, or know them ahead of time and move but be more focused on trying to hit the combo for damage and in the fleeting moment forget.

I'm sorry most of us don't have the perfect eidetic memory, hand-eye coordination and internet setup you elitists call for.

Thankfully the devs understand NOT EVERYONE HAS THE REACTIONARY SKILLS OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE THEIR LIVES ON CALL OF DUTY.

latency had nothing to do with it, since you want to get snarky. I've had to play from Australia visiting friends, and once was used to the delay, had no issues.

Finally, I was simply staying that some play this way, that most of us do not, encompassing myself. I need 5-10 practice groups to get mechanics down.
