The Healer Double Standard

[Critical-Limit]

Was stormblood healing that unbalanced? I feel like all healers did a fine job healing and doing decent DPS...

I’ve never heard of people forcing job changes when it comes to healing.

Because for most content it didn't matter, but for people pushing the highest tier raids, trying for faster clears and the like? WHM just didn't/doesn't do enough to justify it over SCH/AST...even ignoring SE's terrible knowledge of how people play SCH.

I mean that is true but if SE is truly making such rash changes to all the healing jobs over world first/brand new raid push stuff, they are really stupid because that kind of play ALWAYS prioritizes unbalance. Even in 2.0 they would go with 1 tank and 3 healers....

I thought the 1 tanks/3 healer was only for T2?
But I don't think this is the first time they've tried to do changes to forcibly kill the meta the playerbase made. Mostly all it does is annoy the playerbase.

It was only for T2, and only for bad pugs. It was never the "meta" standard for static raid teams.

This, we had to pass allagan rot, the enrage came about because melee would not be able to do the turn very easily due to positionals among many other reasons.

I raid and we have a WHM and I did just fine in alphascape. You only exclude base on DPS when speedrunning.

What part of "People pushing the highest tier raids" didn't fit exactly what you said?

It only matters for 1% of our population. As long as a job can perform its duties. It’s fine. Speed killers is a very low percent of the population. Clearing content and farming it is all that needs to be balanced around. Speed killers will use w/e is best sure. But there will always be a best group to go with for certain fights and that’s fine as long as other jobs can win any fight pulling the weight needed for clear.
