Future direction of FFXIV

[Clover_Blake]

The team has done a fantastic job simplifying most jobs, butchering healers over each expansion, ignoring said healers for the past 6 years, and taking 6-8 years to somewhat fix their horrible housing system. But hey, at least the casuals are happy.

White Mage prior to this expansion was my go to healer, and while I do not heal in high end content it was fun playing it in the NieR raids and pushing my trusts to do mega pulls as WHM through the use of tools like Thin Air. The nerf to that ability has significantly lowered my desire to play the job, especially when Sage feels more active and like more of a spectacle through its abilities.

At present Sage has now become my go to healer, along with Astrologian.

Doesnt change the mp problems whm has, or the misery problems, etc. Im happy some people enjoy spamming 1 button for 90% of a fight though.

This doesn’t mean that WHM isn’t without its issues, though. Or that all of the healers aren’t without their issues. From clunky toolkits that don’t synergize well with one another (AST and SCH) to mana problems if you are just keeping up your standard ABC (WHM) to boring gameplay where you are spamming 1 button a total of 100 to 150 times during any given fight (all four), the healers have a lot of issues that will need addressing. Healer mains have already been pretty salty since SB.

So you want pointless trash pulls and pre-clears and running back to the boss after a wipe and other nonsense from raids to come back? Nah I quite like the current raiding format being similar to how trials are. Queue in, boss, done. Wiping resets your CD's so you don't have to pointlessly sit there and wait for several minutes for CD's etc...God forbid someone used a pot late in the fight.

While I don’t see the point in adding in trash mobs to Savage fights, I would prefer door bosses that weren’t nearly as long as the phase two boss. Exdeath’s length was perfect; he didn’t feel like he overstayed his welcome. Some of the door bosses (E12S and P4S) are just as long as the phase two boss, and I personally don’t like that. I also didn’t really mind the Faust mini bosses before bosses like Oppressor and Refurbisher.

CD and pot resets can still exist even with mini-bosses. So not sure why that’s thrown in there.
