The self described healer mains in game are not the same people who complain on the forums. I thought that was pretty clear but I guess it needs to be spelled out for some people.

You know, it warms the heart to see so many people coming into threads with a premise that they disagree with and mock everyone who agrees with the OP.
Truly the greatest MMO community in the known universe, WoW could never. :)
If they didn't care they wouldn't post. I wouldn't be surprised if some were absolutely petrified that if a strike somehow succeeded they will have to adjust to the changes. Not just changes for healers, even tanks and DPS might have to give up their goodies. The push back from a "laughable" and meaningless strike is very interesting. Obviously the push back is for entertainment value only, surely.
Doesn't matter which community, they all act the same in the end.
After healing all through ShB and EW, I won't be touching the role come DT and will leave them right at lvl 90. Shame, since I've been playing support/healers for more than two decades in MMOs and its my favorite role, but FFXIV's supports is a travesty.
Yeah it's funny, right?
The problem WoW healers have is that damage is spiky and unpredictable and stressful to respond to, but they're still expected to contribute DPS while responding to it.
Then in FF14 damage is predictable and healing becomes easier the more familiar the group is with bloated healing toolkits that are overkill for what they're asked to do, but the DPS rotations are too simple.
It's like WoW's healers have the toolkit for FF14's fights, while FF14's healers have the toolkits for WoW's fights.
This is so stupid lol
