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

So at this rate based on the keynote, we have will have the media tour happen around late March with all that information then being disclosed in April.

I’m a little curious when the benchmark trailer was going to be revealed, because we should have the job actions trailer before the media tour, and that’s 3 big hotspots for information to drop in around 6-8 months, which feels tighter than usual.

Bringing this back to the front page again. And there are most certainly people who are quite tired of me bumping this old thread time and time again especially with all the new stuff that Dawntrail is bringing. I bring it because we were at this same point in Stormblood and that game saw a fair decrease in healers imagine if something like that happens here. They need to start getting someone who can design healers and actually mains healers in content.

Healers have been neglected for far too long. I'm more anxious about any changes they'll be getting than I am for the job I actually play.

I didn't even bother with healing due to the pressures they put on them in the expansion. The second tier of savage was pretty rough from all the bleeds and what not, and then outside of healing it was a limited rotation coupled with emergency spam rezzing.

It's actually sad how single issue I've become with this game over this. I'm actually excited for Pictomancer, the MSQ, the new Foray, Eden Ultimate, etc, but if healers stay in this rut for another 2-3 years I'm not going to be playing the game at all, no matter what potentially really fun things they put into it. It can't be understated how much I love this game, how many friends I've made and how much time I've put into it, but enough is enough.

I would really love to be able to enjoy Dawntrail like DPS players will be able to. I know I've said it nearly 900 times at this point with my posts, but please get off this terrible, terrible design for the healer role.

[Aravell]

Honestly, I really want to know who this current healer design is meant to satisfy. People who want to optimise get shafted by a dull damage kit and a stupid amount of OGCDs to mash so you never have to think about what to use. People who want to heal get shafted by heals being so powerful and damage intake being so low across the majority of the content.

I get so confused when we get people that say they love the current healer design, what's there to love about it? It's a design that shafts everyone and satisfies no one.

[Maltothoris]

Something I have noticed is that a fair amount of people who have said healing is fine or good haven't really shown up recently. I know this could be for a variety of reasons though. I wonder what kind of fallout will happen with Dawntrail for healers and I wonder how they are going to handle it in 7.1 or 7.2.

Can't wait to get the same story with the new savage when there will be complaints about it being easy to heal and them saying the same thing again and again trying to say we will make things harder etc etc.

[Supersnow845]

Square enix has got to realise that leaving healers on the same state they are in right now while adding 2 new DPS without Bozja being a viable option anymore is going to spell disaster for queue times for everyone

Remember ShB when they murdered healer design then added a tank and a DPS, healer queues were so instant you could queue for monestary at 3am and it would pop instantly

This is the perfect expansion to actually change support jobs, so they can present it as “play one of the new DPS or play our recently redone support jobs” sort of like how they sold SMN as the third new class of EW

The second tier wasn't even a healer check, it was a mitigation check, which meant that healers had to hope DPS players had their mitigation tools on their hotbar and paying enough attention to press it.

Healing in this game will never be interesting or fun.
