Nah, they'll make the DoT last 15 minutes with 400 potency ticks and remove the single target cast
Solves their "we need dps for leveling" issue and lets Sylphies live out their fantasy of being on standby while watching Netflix.




And that's one of the major points of contention.
Adding more DPS options doesn't affect the Healers who don't DPS. At all.
It'll only affect the people who want a bit more out of the Healing role than the exact same DPS rotation from lvl 4 to lvl 90.

I mean isn’t that the problem with healers right now in general, they are being designed for the absolute baseline so there is absolutely no ceiling to them at all.
What’s the problem with playing them like tanks or older healer, a lower end tank doesn’t need a flawless combo in order to effectively use their mitigation but with healers it’s just designed so that it’s implied it’s basically impossible to do both even if oGCD heals do exactly that
It’s why I liked 3.0 SCH, nobody was gonna crucify you if you couldn’t juggle all 6 DOT’s effectively but those that could had an interesting optimisation path, and for those that liked the healing aspect fairy micromanagement is better than anything we have now in the healing department except maybe clutch tech with spreadlo




We were told (paraphrasing) that we were being brought down to a baseline in Stormblood so that the devs could build us up from the ground up. Hasn't really happened, or it has and a decent part of the player base simply doesn't agree with the result or like it.
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]




Even though all the healers except maybe SCH have gotten even simpler since the ShB healer change (SCH kinda horizontal shifted only giving up clunk not complexity), if there was a growth from 5.0 I certainly am not seeing it


Delay is the most effective form of denial.
