Dear SE, I am a Healer

This isn't feedback. Feedback is posting on one of the threads already talking about this that hey I want a healer too. This is a Tumblr post.

I'm a tank. I fully expected a tank and healer this expansion, however when I saw gunbreaker announced I started wondering. Are they gonna add a healer or ranged dps? There are only 2 rdps after all. So deciding on dancer being rdps makes full sense to me.
I agree and would've prefered that resources were spend on preparing to release a full healer mid-expansion instead of doing limited jobs like blue mage. Like they did ninja. Then again, game development is a constant battle of priorities and risks.

You can't always do everything to please everyone at the same time. So I definitely understand that they are struggling to get things right. I hope you don't quit the game over something like this but I understand healers wanting more options, same way as I'm happy to get another tank. It's nice to read a post like this that can bring up concerns and disagreements without being a wall of text of rage.

Not. Your. Blog.

Not your blog either, get off your high horse. I'm certain you know what forums are for, so I'm not going to waste time explaining it to you.

And @ OP: I feel you. I've mained AST since like a year into HW, and I'm just so tired of being forgotten as a healer (and being stepped on by other players) that I'm just dropping the role entirely. Catch me being a Career Dragoon for the rest of my days or something. At least then I'd be praised for not dying every 20 seconds like DRGs usually do.

all this mess for me is a clear sign of lack of funds, people working on it and creativity.

they won't read it on the lodestone blog, but you could have posted this in one of the other... what 4 or 5? Shadowbringers healer threads instead of making yet another special snowflake thread and clogging the forums even more

I'm sorry I offended you both so much with my post O.o

It wasn't my intention to do so.

I'm free to post just as both of you are, so its fine! Don't worry so much about it, and it is fine if you disagree with my feedback or opinions. So relax~

Yeaaah...I really loved this game, and I don't want to quit really...I probably won't end up quitting, but I still wanted SE to know my feedback about it. It just sucks cause I really want to support the game, but they are kind of ignoring the role I prefer. If I play I'll prob switch to DPS like you are, maybe RDM, or DNC if I like how it plays.

I'm not counting BLU. I said "Since 4.0", this includes the 5.0 jobs that have been revealed.

Since 4.0 DPS got SAM, RDM, and now DNC. 3 jobs.

Just one more disappointment in an ever-growing stack of failures. We have less and less healers because people give up on it to do other more compelling things. Soon we'll be rarer than tanks. I look forward to that day, because it will be abundantly obvious to everyone then, just how big a problem this is. It might take a while, but left untreated this is going to become a big problem.

What confuses me about this is that it's not like tanks are all balanced right now either. DRK was promised a rework in ShB, last I remember, but they're still adding GUN as a tank. So to see them use that justification for healers truly makes me quirk a brow.

Yoshi also said the reason they added Gunbreaker was to have another option to WAR for OT since PLD and DRK both are used primarily as MT.

Wait... what? That's bizarro level bull right there.WAR is always the MT these days.
