Final Fantasy XIV’s healer problem and how it’s kind of unsolvable

Where are you getting 17-19k? I see 14.8-16.8k at absolute max percentile with tanks at 9.3-9.5k.

I don't see why we're still quoting an ancient post from Yoshi. He's a nice guy and all, but he's not an encounter designer. Clearly his vision for the game and what his team are creating are two different things. His team are perfectly aware if they don't account for healer dps in enrage timers, even two subpar healers who can fit a Glare every 5 GcD's and keep Dia up would completely trivialize the fight.

Forgot to set it to Shiva alone. Those numbers from Edens Verse (All Bosses). I did say i welcomed pointing out where i messed up lol. Thanks for being civil ^^

Using the log posted though, removing the Healers puts the raid total at 81,939. So that party would only have needed to find an extra 3k~ or so DPS from the other 6 members of the party. Which equates to 500 dps per person.

Given that log is from May 3, they would almost certainly have better gear by now. Hell, even just fine tuning their play could net them that extra per person.

Are you saying that only the 6 top tank/dps players in the entire game, on their best day, are expected to be able to clear the current savage at ilvl?

Is that not the purpose of Savage? To BE that final challenge that requires you to put your best efforts into?
