Exactly what my friends and I said when we saw people start losing their minds over stuff they know nothing about.

What would you know?

You don't even do content. How would you even know what to compare against LOL

Lets see if I still have posting privileges.

Sadly every SMN that reaches cap will also automatically have a SCH along with it so CBU3 can say "Look at all these max rank SCH's! They must love the job".

considering the type of demographic SE wants to encourage with SMN that might end up helping us more than hurting lmao

Take a look at WoW, where all healers have a variety of interactions between their heals, like if you put this heal over time on someone they take 25% more healing from your single target heal, or cast this one and this other one will cast 50% faster. And you have to make good use of these interactions if you want to keep up in mid to high end content, which makes it super satisfying when you pull it off.

I gave WoW another try a few years ago and the healing was so good. Just as good as I remembered. Heal interactions, constant incoming damage to the entire party, cooldowns on almost every heal so you couldn't spam the same one, HoT timers that mattered, a lot of single target triage, healer-only mechanics, mana management and juggling of who to heal and what to heal with.

Hey Community Managers or whoever else is reading this? The healer feedback obviously hasn't gone to the devs for the past five years so I'll make it simpler. Could you pass along just one message? Ask them to hire a healer designer who has healed in other games. We would not even need to compile feedback if the dev team had one of those because they would just know.

I genuinely never thought the biggest issue to any sort of public support for improving healer design would be trying to get the average person to figure out that “more DPS buttons” doesn’t necessarily mean “do more damage”

I thought it was obvious but I’ve been wrong on that front more times than I could possibly count

The reason some people are celebrating BLM losing non-standard was because they didn't want to play it and didn't like that it did like 2% more damage in certain raids. People are always mad about dumb stuff even though its perfectly viable to completely ignore it.

im going to be running 0 healer roulette PF in dawntrial for no other reason than because we simply dont need them. and the sad thing is.. if you do this.. the game actually becomes hard again because you NEED to communicate with you team and plan out mits and heals..


mental.. i know

They had one and fired them when they started to get too good at healing.

And then they had the nuts to say "We don't know what to do with healers!!" Like I don't know... maybe you could ask someone that knows??? When I don't know something, I ask. Apparently, this had not been the immediate answer for the devs...
The entire combat design is made out of DPS and Xenos(for tanks). There is no healer in there.

[Ramiee]

Tbf you can thank Yoshi for that coping, he said there would be more to heal outright. It wasn't simply people hoping they were TOLD these things would be there only for them not to.

There is more to heal now, its just that tanks and dps can do it now too. Lol.

This thread is so overdramatic lol

[OliviaLugria]

asked for changes for years... did not get them -> escalate situation; seems reasonable to me!
