#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[TBerry]

Just some of my personal responses to the things I've heard since this started. Quite a few of these are redundant with responses already made by people in the thread. I'm not even strawmanning with these. Every single one of these points has been said by someone criticizing #FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE. It's quite...uh....astonishing...let's say that...astonishing.

A: Healers are really dumb, therefore they deserve to have the simplest rotation possible.
B: Okay, well you can play any job in this game at any time. So the people who play healers also play DPS and tanks, so we need to logically demand those rotations get dumbed down to match healer.

A: Healers have so many tools and need to have easy rotations because their job is to correct the party's mistakes.
B: Okay. If dungeons are so easy to be done without healers, then you don't really need a healer to correct mistakes. Additionally, in ultimates and savages how are you supposed to "fix people's mistakes" when 80% of mistakes just flat out cause a wipe. They even disabled healer res in Criterion, and res is entirely disabled from Criterion (savage).

A: If you want an engaging healer experience then go do Ultimate. (Yikes, this is also straight from Yoshi-P....)
B: I should not have to do the literal hardest content in the game to enjoy a role. A role should be enjoyable at all difficulties to a high degree. And even then, by striking aren't healers doing exactly what you're telling them to do? Hecking off because they don't find certain content engaging?

A: I'm just going to use trusts then, lol (Zepla literally said this)
B: Okay, have fun queuing your roulettes with trusts I guess?

A: Dungeons aren't designed to be fun, they are designed to be easy.
B: Okay that's just another reason not to queue into dungeons as healer? It's kinda the point that it's boring and too easy? ???

A: (In response to the Xeno video of the first dungeon getting cleared during the media tour with no healer) It's only the first dungeon of the expansion that was cleared without healers. It's supposed to be easy.
B: Uh. Tower of Zot and Holminster Switch are easily the two hardest leveling dungeons for trash pulls in their respective expansions.

A: Your healer strike will never work! It'll not even make an impact!
B: Okay. Still not queuing for your roulettes, because it sucks.

A: Your healer strike is just disruptive and spiteful towards people who just want to run content!
B: But I thought....

It's still low hanging fruit.
