#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

It's so cute you think this is going to somehow spread throughout the entire community and somehow work. There will always be folks willing to heal. Also, this is futile. SE ain't gonna do anything.

We need to find some way to force the people in charge of designing combat to play through the entire game as a Healer, all the way from the character creation to end of 7.0... See if they would still think Healers are in an acceptable position.

Maybe. Maybe nothing changes and healer job design remains this bad until the servers shut down. No harm in trying tho.

Remember guys, if you're gonna strike the most impact you can have is to never fill any PF along with not going into roulettes.

How much difference it will make who knows. But showing hundreds of pages of discontentment with healers hopefully gets Yoshi P's attention.

Will you be a good little angel and go play healers for me? I want my dps queues faster.

Alternatively, in order to get content actually done, just go in and NEVER cast a single heal. Not even an oGCD one. Just be a subpar DPS and let the tanks keep themselves alive just as the developers intended.

Doing this is probably not a good plan as there are a great many people that will simply report a healer for not healing when it is needed as not doing their part in the team. Far better to not queue at all.

Edit: serious multiquote mishap

Being a DPS bot intentionally will just build enmity against healers, "they can't be trusted with a rotation they'll already just let me die" is a current argument people have,

+ if something does go wrong it's basically griefing and if nothing goes wrong... you've just played a healer

Folks can do runs without healers or worst do runs without tanks just so healers have the trill of actually healing... something just aint right there...

Honestly I think the entire combat system needs changed up.. Damage from a single pull monster group should be high enough that if a DPS pulls ahead of the tank they shouldn't survive.. if a Tank Sprints off an leaves their healer they shouldn't survive long.. a wall to wall pull should be something possible with excellent use of mitigation an heals.. not just 1 MIT tossed out an a single regen..

It's just really getting sad that the roles don't matter anymore.. there needs to be actual thought into how you'll clear a pack of mobs and a boss not just watching YouTube and pressing 123 or 1 infinitely in healers case...
