Current EX trial completed without Healers

[Sebazy]

This has nothing to do with my perosnal take on healing design. Surely you understand my whole post was only about the citation, right? riiiight? but now I see what you're trying to label me . That says a lot about you

What the heck are you even going on about? Are you desperately trying to find some kind of personal attack in everything I say?

I simply stated I was disappointed with Yoshida's responses in the Mr Happy interview.

I then added that I felt that the Zepla interview was better. It felt less of a canned corporate response.

If you think I'm trying to imply that you are amongst the Gordias interview preachers, I'm not. I'm simply providing an example of where people genuinely and clearly are twisting the developers words and context. It's clarity, not accusation.

suggestive question. It's common knowledge that nothing can please every one. There will always be some groups being alienated.

Then how should I phrase it? It's an important question and it needs to be asked.

*edit* you know what? Don't answer that. I'm just going to treat you the same way that you try to treat others here. Enjoy

at this point--

its sad the only content where i actually get to use my whole kit is ultimate, and we'll only get 1 of those every 2-3 years

This is such a vast overexageration. In just NORMALS I have had to expend idom+sacred soil+fey union+ fey blessing+protraction+expedient+succor+emergency provisions+ LUSTRATE.

Okay, coming back to this topic with a clearer head on my part:

A big problem with FFXIV at the moment is that healing requirements are absolutely minimal in almost all forms of content, even the highest-end raids. And it's pretty gross that the two hardest fights in the game can be cleared without a healer ---But we can't have the Sylphies being distressed, can we?

The solution to the statement; "I want to have fun playing healers." Should not be "Go do Ultimate."

The solution to your problem is to realize you still will use majority of your buttons, but you will be weaving broil with them. It's extremely interactive honestly, and if you think it isn't then healing really isn't the job for you. This isn't meant to be offense but the current iteration of healing is truly perfect to players like me.

You could safely and comfortably clear Zodiark EX in PF with only Indom, Soil and Raise on your bars (assuming they don't kick you for not DPSing at least!)

---
And yet here we are, complaining about it. Because we actually want something to heal. Those horrible evil raiders

This is your problem, as a high end hyper optimized raider, your vision of what you see is "competent/good" is vastly pushed in the direction of the top 5% of the game or less. As a average player myself I see runs that make me see multiple mechanics etc. And to restate what I said earlier!

"This is such a vast overexageration. In just NORMALS I have had to expend idom+sacred soil+fey union+ fey blessing+protraction+expedient+succor+emergency provisions+ LUSTRATE." ALL had to be used on ex1/ex2 because people are not as GOOD as you think they are, or they don't gear up whatever take your pick.

Ok, the trolling is getting a little bit blatant now. No one's going to bother engaging with you if you're this obvious about it.

Gonna link this to my group. Look ma, I'm a high end hyper optimised raider now because the forum comedian says so.

Lol

What the heck are you even going on about? Are you desperately trying to find some kind of personal attack in everything I say?

umm, no? what makes you think of that?

I simply stated I was disappointed with Yoshida's responses in the Mr Happy interview.

I then added that I felt that the Zepla interview was better. It felt less of a canned corporate response.

Yes, I have already addressed that. You see, my replies were about the statement that was intentionally twisted by many others. My first reply towards you wasn't even pointing finger at you in the slightest. While it's true I should have use a better pronoun to prevent confusion, the full contenxt of my reply was meant to correspond with my initial reply.

I don't even understand why you felt the need to explain again when my first reply towards you already stated that "I understand the arguement that they failed to deliver the healing intensity we've been promised, but it's disheartnening to see people resort to twisting the statement from the developers just to make strong arguement."

I know what you're trying to say and my statement has acknowledged the discrepcy between the official statement and in game environment. I simply wanted to get back to my original topic: the citation.

That's why in my second reply I said"feel free to judge Yoshida all you want." We've still yet to see what we've been promised, and they deserved to be called out and critized. It's within your right and I don't even plan on arguing. Then you brought out Zelpha. Speculation is not my strong suit, so I decided to just leave you at that.

I simply want to get very clear about the topic of my original post and now "I'm desperately trying to find some kind of personal attack in everything I say? "

I think I could say the same to you

If you think I'm trying to imply that you are amongst the Gordias interview preachers, I'm not. I'm simply providing an example of where people genuinely and clearly are twisting the developers words and context. It's clarity, not accusation.

That "Thanks" at the end of your post is certainly, totally, absolutely not snarky at all.

*edit* you know what? Don't answer that. I'm just going to treat you the same way that you try to treat others here. Enjoy

You're welcome to, though I don't know what you're getting at. You're mad because I play UNO card on others?

[Sebazy]

That "Thanks" at the end of your post is certainly, totally, absolutely not snarky at all.

Then I suggest you get a grip of both your feelings and the English language itself before you come here swinging big words around like they mean anything.

You're welcome to, though I don't know what you're getting at. You're mad because I play UNO card on others?

No, because you are clinically incapable of accepting when you are wrong.

Case in point: I corrected a statement of yours here

It's a trait you share with a few people on here. Funnily enough the same tiny little group that does their utmost to decry, discredit and derail so much of the conversation here.

I look forward to you arguing your way out of that one. Make it entertaining.

Thanks

Just because my reply towards you was mainly focus on my original topic and you seemed butthurt about it. Like there was no "desperately trying to find some kind of personal attack in everything I say" How about you read my reply thoroughly and get over with your feelings first, hum? Or is it me refusing to answer your suggestive question that makes you mad? However. it is indeed a suggestive question as I later explained. Maybe if you rephrase it better and I would have answered that. You made a clarification later and things could have end it there. I was about to apologize, but oh no, you're so eager to pick up fight that you edited your post before I could react to your clarification.

About English language part , yeah, it's very difficult for me to understand what you were trying to say in previous posts. Perhaps it's because of your wording, or sentence structure? I don't know. Perhaps it's me getting old. I find it hard to understand such a well- constructed sentence such as "I'm not trying to suggest that they are making statements that they are not" made by an English expert like you. I'll definetly work hard on that. Thanks for your elaborate explanation later in the post. Too bad you just can't stop the eagerness to belittle me.

No, because you are clinically incapable of accepting when you are wrong.
Case in point: I corrected a statement of yours herepost

You're terribly wrong. I've admitted mistake before in other posts. https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...71#post5661471

Apparently, you're wrong about "clinically incapable of accepting when you are wrong" Are you ready to admit mistake and apologize? If not, I'm afraid you will be the one that's clincically incapable of accepting when you're wrong.

Now you're the one who threw personsal attack and brought your temper to the other thread. Nice job for making a correction reply without giviing time for others to respond, and use it as proof to make your point.

Just shows how manipulative you are.

It's a trait you share with a few people on here. Funnily enough the same tiny little group that does their utmost to decry, discredit and derail so much of the conversation here.
I look forward to you arguing your way out of that one.

Wow, so many offensive words all at once. I get you. Nice trait you have there. Very common amongst forum goers.

umm..iirc you're the one that do the derailing. You see, my previous replies were all about the topic which directly correspond with other replies, until you came along and brought about your view and feeling about the interview during Media Tour, which I addressed. Now you resorted to get offensive and brought you temper to my reply in other post. Disappointing.

And no. I'm not going "argue my way out of that one" Contrary to what you surmised, I'm not afraid to admit mistakes. So I'll just say it here. I was wrong about stating healers can solo any dungeons, and I'm sorry for making claims when I haven't tried soloing any EW dungeons.

Despite that, I still don't think you actully did "corrected me." Adimittely I jumped to the conclusion without testing myself, but it's not correction when you did not provide any video proof. Ther criteria also seemed deliberately chosen by you. Why AST? have you tried other healers? Have tried Vitality Tinctures? How does DRK fare in the arguemnt regarding tanks soloing.? Can DRK solo any dungeons as well?

Well, "correction" is a poor choice of word in this case.

does their utmost to decry, discredit

do you mean this person?

Ok, the trolling is getting a little bit blatant now

Have you actually tested your claims? Do you have anything to cite that confirms this? I don't think you do.

If you did you'd know that The Dead End Peacekeeper's Elimination tank buster hits for 50k+ on a caster without mitigation. As AST I can survive one with literally everything on myself. I can't survive two back to back because I need both Neutral Sect and CI to survive the hit+auto or I just get one shot.

By the way, while we're at it. Would you be so kind as to educate me with proofs that tanks can solo any dungeons. By any I mean every single dungeon that is soloed by every tank within tank roles . Since you're so good at finding evidence, we really need videos showcasing every tank being able to solo every single dungeon. You know, for the sake of the solidifying the claims made by the thread you linked. I expect your questioning spirit works on both sides of the arguements, for the betterment of the community of course

No thanks, I've put down plenty of proof whenever I have taken a stance on something. I'm not here to do your dirty work for you.

Also there's a lot of words in that post above, and they all seem to skirt around the fact that you're clearly and verifiably wrong in the post I linked.

Strange that. It's almost like you're confirming exactly what I'm saying.

Stay mad sir.

uhh..that's it? seemed you're clinically incapable of accepting when you are wrong.

Anyway, this is expected. Have a nice day then.

Maybe it's because you keep moving a goal posts the distances of galaxies and practice mental gymnastics that makes a contortionist blush. Not a lot of people are willing to put up with someone as stubborn and dishonest as yours.

"A is not true."
"Actually, A is true- here's proof!"
"Well, what about B? That's not true."
"Actually, here's proof for B's authenticity"
"Come on now, Sure, B is true but C can't be either!"
...
"See? You can't prove Z, I WIN! [Insert passive aggressive parting phrase here]"

It's a funny game, the only winning move's not to play.
