#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

I'd say that the healer rework is more urgent. The dps are pretty good, really: the rotation is static, but as far as I've been able to see that's been the case from the start. They're all managed quite differently despite the similarities that can sometimes be found between them; some are harder to manoeuvre, while others are very simple.

The tanks are more questionable, and would also benefit from a major overhaul. But then... This is just a personal opinion, but what's really needed for the tanks is a change to the combat system itself: more management of los, aggro (get rid of that tank stance, please), in particular.

And then there are the healers. The healers, whose logs show 90% spam from a single power, whatever the class. Healers, which is one of the only roles where the ‘good healer = bored’ equation can be felt. When you're a healer, if your group is good then your gameplay is anihilated, something that doesn't happen with tanks or dps.

That said, I find it hard to understand your position. It seems to me that it was you who said that complaining was pointless, and that all you had to do was quit the game? My apologies if that's not the case; if it is, I'll return the remark. In the end, your message boils down to ‘but really, everything is crap, why should your crap be treated first?’. If that's what you really think, that the game can no longer satisfy you whether you play dps, healer or tank, you should take your own advice, shouldn't you?

Oh dont you worry, ill finish the story then unsub again as usual, the jobs are awful in this game across the board the only thing I come back for is the story because I know the jobs will always remain trash, and it will only continue to shift one way by the looks of it which is more homogenization.

Also I wasnt saying my crap should be treated first but the Devs are only showing interest in looking at ALL jobs across the board coming 8.0, and if healers get their rework before Tanks and DPS do you think everyones not gonna kick up a stink over it?

Oh, it's quite possible that there will be protests. MMORPG communities are... Quick to grumble. But in that case, and I'm only speaking from my own personal point of view, I'd have no problem telling them what I told you above: that, in my opinion, reworking the healers is objectively more urgent. In any case, if you refuse to make any changes based on potential reactions, it's simple: you're not making anything new happen in this game.

And I don't think that ‘all jobs suck’, far from it. But that's another discussion.
