Do the devs know what they really want to do with raids ?

[Kuwagami]

Have you not done savage ? They basically require healers to dps as much as possible and tanks to use a lot of str acc due to the incredibly high dps checks. It's apparent they did want healers to be dpsing as much as they can.

I did do savage. However, Yoshida also stated that healer's dps wasn't taken into consideration during the balancing phase of encounters. I guess that was just a lie.

As an ongoing project, they have to adjust. They implement an idea based off feedback, check the new feedback, the actual numbers vs their expected numbers, and make adjustments. No need to be consistent just for the sake of being consistent. Be consistent on the stuff that works. If they haven't found out what works yet, then they'll have to experiment until they do.

I'd be more worried if they were rigid when it comes to change.

Coil was working. Just being cleared by the super extra hardcore too fast for devs' liking. They then ignored totally their mid-core raiding playerbase to cater to these 1% or so. See where it went with alexander savage.
