Dawntrail's mediatour dungeon was already cleared without healers.

On a more on-topic subject, I cannot help but harbor severe doubts about the DT "expert" dungeons being noticeably harder as per word of god when the ones we were initially presented in ShB/EW ended up being considerably easier then the final dungeon.

I'd at absolute minimum want them to train people in proper cooldown usage by making the damage stressful enough to warrant it.

Does it though?

Yes.

XIV's PvP is fundamentally bad because of the slow server ticks making the gameplay feel extremely unresponsive when you need to be able to react quickly to things like CC and burst.

It's like trying to play a fighting game in constant lag that keeps eating your inputs.

Both games have their balance issues, but XIV is kind of a joke when the devs admitted using win ratios as the primary metric of determining which jobs need to be buffed or nerfed...which led to some jobs that were widely considered top tier getting buffed further because bandwagoners who suck at PvP in general were dragging down their win ratios, while underperformers got nerfed because it was largely the better players devoted to playing the jobs using them. It took over a year for WHM to get put into a semi-reasonable position relative to the other healers, and SCH ended up getting nerfed before it did despite being one of the least popular jobs in terms of actual usage rates.

Same here. It's hard to take what he says at face value after he hyped up EX3 so much and the "Myths of the Realm will be as challenging as Ivalice" statement.
