That's doesn't add up

Not that it's really something to aim for, but Scorch and Resolution each add 4|4 mana, then VerHoly/Flare adds 11 to one type of mana. With two sword combos, one from Manafication, you gain a total of 16|38 or 27|27 mana, so if you start with either 84|62 or 73|73 mana you'll have 50|50 mana at the end of the second Resolution for a third sword combo.
In normal difficulty, i think all jobs can be replaced. You can run an all dps group, an all tank group, or even an all healer group in NORMAL difficulty for dungeons, trials, and raids so it's not just healers that can be excluded at that level. In Exteme maybe if everyone knows what to do and there is sufficient coordination. In Savage and Ultimate I don't think so.
It's been like two months, we're still stuck on this?
An Ultimate was cleared without healers. It's old news.
Switching out a healer for a DPS actively makes dungeons faster while 4 healers is a meme comp that'll clear super slowly. They have kits that are 80% heals but none of them are needed, that's fundamentally broken.
Well, I am back after trying new Savage to see if "my morsels of healing to do" was a correct assessment.
So far, in M3S I got a 0 grey dps parser and I clocked into 150 casts of Malefic. (My partner was a SGE with 165 casts of Dosis. Nobody died by the way.)
I figure it only gets worse from here.
There are mostly mitigation checks and 1 heal check in M2s and another heal check in M3s. So far, M4s is not lookin that intense. (healing wise)
This. I remember having a blast in ShB doing a PF run of the last Nier raid with a group of 24 healers.
Something being done in a less efficient manner by a specific group of veteran, top-tier players is meaningless. That happens in practically every game in existence, where the "top of the top" create various ways to challenge themselves even farther (for RPG's, think low-level completions, doing FF1 with 4 white mages, etc.). It becomes "meaningful" if that kind of alternate approach becomes reliably doable by typical players.Quote:
