You notice the healer forum contracting all the time

In SB and ShB I used to be dozens of people coming in and out and discussing openly, these days it’s basically the same 5 people who still haven’t given up soapboxing or just enjoying arguing (I’m one of these)

People are abandoning the role, unless you think the entire games collective healer role is me aravell, Ty, forsaken, Reiner and our army of alts

While I agree that healer kits need adjustment for more dps, this weeping and gnashing of teeth is going to accomplish nothing. Why? There are far more ALL AROUNDERS who play EVERYTHING and have 3 main jobs that will happily step up and fill in any "striking" healer. Not to mention enough people will be competent enough to pick up healer jobs and learn them, coupled with the Trust system, sorry guys your healer strike will DO NOTHING. Once you leave out of this forum and go into other areas where FFXIV is discussed INCLUDING IN GAME, the vast majority of healers are not going to strike at all.
Notice even by your own implication Omni mains don’t pick healer first, they fill it out of necessity
