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]
oh no you saw right through me
but your argument is good, sirStriking dummies. The vast majority of low DPS comes from players not using their job actions properly. Even if you don't want to go through the balance or look up rotations, you should still be able to piece together an acceptable rotation, utilising all the actions available to you. Just going from a DRG only using Heaven's Thrust combo (and yes, I have seen that) to one that alternates between Heaven's Thrust and Chaotic Spring is going to be a relatively massive gain, start adding in LotD and suddenly their DPS has jumped up again. Knowing your job basics and getting used to them on a striking dummy is going to do far more for someone than trying to learn in a dungeon.

If everyone plays perfectly then no one will be "carried". Speaking of which, I hear robots can call out mechanics better than any human. I'm sure the two don't correlate though. ;^)
Ehhhhh. Yes and no. UCoB and UwU are so watered down nowadays you can absolutely zombie through them. Hell, some raiders are running "Death-cob". The current "high score" if you will is 91 deaths and they still have the DPS to kill Bahamut. Now that isn't something a casual group could accomplish but it does highlight just have ridiculously lax both fights have become. TEA is somewhat carriable if you give your weaker link all the easy assignments. They'll have very little to do until Wormhole. DSR is really the sole exception where you can't carry someone. We don't yet have the damage to overcome DPS checks after multiple deaths and damage downs and most of the fight is one massive mechanic check.
