after the lack of tank we have lack of healers now

[Nicodemus_Mercy]

how long is everyone waiting on ques as a dps , I feel like ill never be a great dps just simply because the game doesn't afford an avenue to play them a decent amount because the ques are so bad

Most of my friends/fc members are reporting around 1 hour queue times as dps. Then they queue with me and it pops instantly ^_^

Not gonna lie, I had planned on staying with Sch but after trying out Samurai.........yeeeaaa no.

A lot of this is due to everything in Stormblood still being fresh and everyone wanting to play RDM/SAM. This clogs up queues heavily on every end, even roulettes are becoming 30m+.

Due to healers and tanks being in short demand because of changes, I expect it to smooth out come Omega.

Oh look, it's the new Arcanists...SE needs to recheck RM's healing capability even as a tank I am sick and tired of hearing ever so cocky RDMs blathering on about their healing prowess. If you want to heal, be a healer, otherwise kill stuff fast and keep your healing for solo content or emergencies.

And they had "Lifesteal" DRK tank, a PLD who could heal and help mitigate, and a RDM with some decent heals.
Not that impressed, almost died at the very beginning anyways until PLD used Clemency lol.
Do this with 1 tank and 3 DPS and 1 being a RDM, then I'll be surprised.

I sure hope not. If they're not going to leave RDM's healing they should have just not even introduced the job.

The RDM was clearly not that good. I don't think they even know how to play the job properly.

The expansion is still fresh. A lot of people are still leveling up to 70 at the moment.

The other thing is, confidence in healing is a lot more difficult than confidence in other roles. At most Tanks are just knowing what to watch out for and paying attention if swapping is needed. With DPS, they have to worry about doing enough damage and just being mindful of mechanics.

Healers on the otherhand are responsible for keeping everyone alive, reacting to those who make mistakes and following their own mechanics that they have to be mindful of all while making sure their main target the tanks stay alive. It's definitely understandable why we see less healers because it's a lot of responsibility to deal with.

If you guys think that pve healing is a bit bad atm, you should see pvp healing. It's a hot mess, and feels clunky and terrible. I literally only have 3 healing abilities on my ast (4 if you count lb) in pvp, and they don't include an aoe heal. :/ I AM glad that I trained up all 3 healing classes and I have a fair amount of experience in all. I can just switch to whichever one hasn't been killed.

I'll always main white mage, but I have a job and a commute to get to said job, so I don't have a lot of time to play in general. On top of that, I like to take things slow and enjoy the ride, so yeah, levelling is slow

i dunno what wrong you're doing, but ast in pvp is awesome. every heal you make grants you swiftcast for the next heal- or damaging ability(which grants slow) you use, also nice utilities to add, but ok, complaining is free, accepting change and getting better is work.
