#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[PercibelTheren]

I have to admit It's going to be hard to for me to avoid playing healer. Mostly because I am always silently judging the healer in the party and I loathe cure spammers or players that outright don't do anything and just stand still. I' d rather do it myself.

On the other hand I also want to do the no healer party thing.

Oh man, I feel this one. I don't think I'm a particularly good healer, just good enough to keep the party alive most of the time. But so often, when I queue into content as a DPS, at least one of the healers has zero clue what they're doing, Medica II spammers included. Not using Esuna to remove Doom in Dun Scaith, not healing anyone besides the tank (sometimes not even the tank), never using Raise... It's suffering. Healing genuinely is not hard, how are these people so clueless?

It's been stated several times in this thread in addition to other places that healers aren't needed to clear content.

Since healers aren't needed to clear content, then there's no reason to learn how to heal. They can level up healing jobs by just dealing damage for the sake of achievements if they want.

But some noticed that healers are still needed for Duty Finder to form parties even though they aren't needed to clear the content. They choose to queue as healer for the fast queue and then can be lazy on their free ride to loot. After all someone has to queue for the useless role, might as well be them.

And thus the swarm of healers, good and bad, appeared out of the depths to replace the striking healers when Dawntrail released...

That is what votekick is for, and I intend to use it on every healer expecting a free ride.

Not that I will have many opportunities to do so, since I'll be running war/pld with three dps buddies for all of the msq. Instant que times and faster dungeons clears!
