#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Erzaa]

Do you consider putting enemies to sleep a part of the primary healer gameplay loop?
Do you consider repositioning other players a part of the primary healer gameplay loop?

Name one thing that can be slept anymore? Outside of deep dungeon usage.

And yes I consider Rescuing someone from what might get them hurt or killed part of the healer gameplay loop. I also consider raising someone to get back into the fight and be part of the duty, experience the fight, part of the gameplay loop.

I've no issue dropping all dps if I need to do, to hurriedly rez someone, or heal someone with a gcd or any of that.

If I'm playing a healer, my primary role is to keep people in the fight. If I cared about mostly performing damage rotations, I'd switch to my dps roles. That's not to say I won't use my 111111 or whatever, when I can, but that's not my primary function, it never was.

If I'm in Qarn and I see a player is Doomed, and they don't know or didn't notice it, and don't run for the platform, I also consider it part of my role to drop everything and quickly type Doom, you will die, run to glowy platform.

A dead dps player who's been rezzed, even with the debuff, will still do more damage than I would pressing 11111. So it's more beneficial to get them back into the fight, than it is to ignore them, to boost my own ego about how much of a better player I am.
