Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

It's funny, because they already have debuffs that punish failure without outright killing the target. The generic damage downs. Paralysis. Sleep. Silence. Pacify. Mini. Stun. Any one of these punishes your output pretty severely without causing death.

With respect to Ultimates, I've healed UWU. It does have some scary heal checks...the first few times through until you figure them out. And not very many of them. In my experience, you have a few pockets of intense healing maybe once a minute or every two minutes optimistically. I pulled grey damage numbers on my last clear because I wanted to make damn sure we hit the end of the fight and it got sloppy. We cleared. With grey damage output, you know what I spent about 70% of my time doing? Stone stone stone stone stone stone stone stone stone.

If you get hit by the expanding AoEs in Thordan Ultimate and survive you get hit with a heavy debuff. I think it's a great punishment for failure because it means you have to make a slow, agonizing walk of shame over to the wall in order to reset the fight.

It's pretty hilarious.

Yoshida come next response to healers: "You think you want this but you don't."

No, that would require him to acknowledge that we have been submitting feedback.

Touche.


I wonder when the next healer dev/play tester is going to get replaced.

Probably when we stop seeing healer-less clears of all current content upon a patch release.
So, you know, probably by the end of the next expansion, or halfway into the final 10 years of XIV's intended lifespan.
