It's time to kill the argument that DPS abilities keep healers from healing.

If you just remove glare it fixes the problem entirely.


All this problem are just from the assumption that healers have to be pressing something 100% of the time. There are plenty of games where supports don't have to deal any damage and just have downtime between healing. Only in XIV do people complain "dps dps I want to dps" as a healer. As you all say not every role has to be the same, dps and tanks are already told to press buttons 100% of the time and optimize their damage, so why can't healers have less stressful gameplay to satisfy players who would rather not have to optimize every second of the fight to press one more glare?

It's time to either do nothing or do the beez knees for 60% of the fight lol.

Remove glare and do what, meanwhile?

Guaranteed replies.

A...Are you seriously proposing that in order to fix healer's gameplay we should just not play the game the majority of the time?

This is hilarious 10/10 trolling

They're in the top 50 in the world for AST logs this Savage tier. They're 100% hard trolling.

There's nothing like Sylphie justification to really rile up the forums, so it's easy bait. To be fair, after several years of Glare, Glare, Glare and just being told it's going to stay that way indefinitely, I don't blame us.

I already play the "correct" way, do I have to feel the "correct" way too? I'm not just some number on some ranking sheet, I have my own thoughts, feelings, opinions too. Optimizing my damage while keeping everyone alive is really stressful for me. I just want comfy easy gameplay as a healer

With all due respect, you shouldn't play Savage raids then. Are you expecting a synced Savage raid to be "easy" when the point of it is to provide a high-difficulty challenge?

So is the current gameplay comfy? Is this where you would like things to stay or is this what you would consider stressful?

No one's buying that. I'm not a great player but I understand enough about raid optimization to know you don't achieve an overall world top 50 for an entire tier and decide to do hundreds of Savage boss kills + TEA prog if you hate it and it stresses you. At your level, you could probably play with one hand while watching Netflix and still perform more than well enough for any Savage boss. You obviously chose to push your gameplay and optimization that far.

Pulling the "I have feelings" card to validate your trolling is fairly smart, because it makes it look like we're attacking you and your opinions, but I'm sorry, your troll is unraveled. You're bored waiting for the next expansion and raid tier and came to rile up the forums for some kicks, sure. You had your fun, you didn't block fflogs fast enough and got caught, move on.

At least you are honest here about wanting to be lazy and lax: I respect you for that. Not all people want that from their gameplay though, hence why all those suggestions and discussions in this subforum.

Let's hope you can get 3-7 other players who are willing to carry your slack, then. I personally, won't tolerate that. But you do you. Experience told me that only silent ostracization awaits those who insist on being this lazy, unless you are solely playing with group of friends; which I'd highly salute them for being a saint.
