#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

I think healers should get a backflip because it'd be cool.

I think healers should get a backflip because it'd be cool.

We already gave SGE Thunderclap, sure why not.

I nominate AST, they can straight up float with grav magic, SCH can get a button to dash to Eos so all healers have movement but different movement.

WHM get En Avant, SGE got Thunderclap, AST should get Shukuchi, and SCH... they run fast!

As stated many times over, the idea is to affect the metrics, not inconvenience others [people swapping from healer to dps will also have longer queues] I only even bring up roulettes not being usable as trusts because people keep smugly presenting the existence of trusts/duty support as a gotcha when... it's not

I mean, you can do what you want, it's no skin off my back. Duty Support is just one of many examples of why this kind of strike has little to no tangible impact on the game, but if your intent in striking isn't to actually impact anything except for having a slightly smaller bar on one of CBU3s spreadsheets, then more power to you.

I agree with some of the issues with the healer role, particularly with not having enough of a DPS rotation. The whole "strike" thing seems pretty ineffective, though. Doesn't seem like anything more than your typical performative forum drama for streamers and social media users to laugh at, to me.

You might also want to make sure some of your fellow strikers get the memo, because there are plenty of people in this thread who seem to expect and hope for queue times to significantly increase for non-healers as a result of this.

I decided to create a forum account after years of playing in support of this movement. Having cleared all 3 tiers of Pandaemonium, 2 as healers, I was saddened to see the status quo of healer gameplay to be the same with Dawntrail, with slapped-on Chain/Divination follow-up, AST rework that completely removes any sort of nuance to the card system, and SCH's ancient job design (now with extra healing on top).

I absolutely love healer as a job fantasy, but between a very simple 1-2 dps gameplay, ever-increasing healing potential from other roles, and content demanding very little in terms of healing, especially so when you have it all planned out, it feels like the role is has become uninteresting and stale. I will be participating, and hoping that it will gain enough traction for SE to take a look at their healer design philosophy again.

I'm talking about FFXIV players who don't care. What was the point of this comment?

I already supported this thread and find healers boring. Why are you attacking me? Just cannibalize the cause. Anyway I'm out. Going to log in and heal something.

So, do you support it or not? It's not an attack, it's a reply. Again, thanks for the boost/support!
P.S: saying people don't care, 14 players or not, is moot. We know. People like coming to this thread to say it.

Wouldn't unsubbing to the game be a much more effective "strike" for SE to notice? You're still subbed to game providing valuable revenue for SE. You gotta hit SE where it hurts, not simply inconveniencing the portion of the playerbase that have nothing to do with this.

no because doing that doesn't change the internal metrics of what percent of subscribed players play what job/role. which is what we are trying to affect. just unsubbing won't actually affect those metrics, because the ratios will stay roughly stable.

every healer who stops playing healer and swaps to dps or tanking is not just a -1 to healer population its a +1 to either tank or dps. which is more noticeable in the metrics than just a -1 healer.

also, just because we're sick of how healers play, doesn't mean we have 0 reasons to enjoy the game at all. personally, i'm enjoying finishing levelling gnb on my alt and getting ready to go through dawntrail as a reaper.

Thanks for the reply! I apologize for over-estimating the common-sense of some posters and made the assumption that people already understood that the opinions of your pets and people who don't play XIV don't matter. I won't make that mistake again.

If I get more interesting healer gameplay out of the strike, I will be overjoyed. Thank you for your excitement and efforts! <3

No worries! Of course, people that don't play the game aren't going to care! So as you said, it's common sense! Y'know what's also common sense? That not all FFXIV players support or care about the Healer Strike. It's no surprise. We know it's an uphill battle, we're very aware of that just from the amount of people that're against it in this thread! Bonkers right?!? <3
