#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Bright-Flower]

The problem is Mr Flower that if we make the easiest content in the game challenging enough to force the casual playerbase to learn how their characters work and actually play the game properly, they'll just cry and leave instead of actually challenging themselves. It happens EVERY TIME ANY GAME DOES THIS. I'm not saying I think healers should only have a challenge in harder content, I'm saying its not possible if square wants to keep a playerbase.

There is a lot of wiggle room between glare spam and a dot and 'too complicated for noobs.' Nobody is demanding perfect healer dps from dungeons or normal mode raids/trials anyway. Heck there are people who are bad at dps and tank too that get by without doing rotations properly. They could do the same on moderately more involved healer damage as long as they keep the party alive.

Healing was more challenging in ARR and HW casual content but the game was growing. How is that possible?

Reinha you missed the memo during this expansion that told us HW was in fact terrible and we should be glad the game survied it.

Just curious: has JP forum/twitter(?) side noticed this strike, what seems to be their opinion if any?

[TBerry]

That's a good idea, we should make a forum post about why exactly we're playing a different job too. Call it something catchy with a hashtag like... #ffxivHealersAreQuitting no that's too long...

And there I hoped you'd leave Limsa for once.

And there's the gate keeping. So my opinion on a ridiculous strike and pointing out WHY its not going to accomplish what yall think it will because I don't do endgame savage content makes my opinion any less valid? The complaint is healers aren't fun, and here I am saying I find them fun. And so do most healer mains i know, including those of my friends who DO do the hard stuff.

Well, according to a lot of people who come to this thread and say this strike is stupid, that's exactly it.
Quite a lot of people say that this strike is stupid because a lot of people supporting the strike do not do any hard content, as such they do not know what they are talking about and their opinion is invalid.
At the same time we have people supporting the strike who do Savage and Ultimate and they also claim that healing is boring even then.

I will gladly do one with you right now...? I will hand it to you on a golden platter. Would help me clear as I need fresh bodies...I made it to the last boss on the first one.

- I assume I won't get a response though, that's how these things typically work out, no one is ever willing to walk the walk with me :C and I need them clears.

Bro, I'd gladly do run with You. Just so we can see this "healing" defecite eye to eye. But I'm from differend side of the world (Eastern Europe) and play on European DC, and ngl, not willing to level stuff to 90 before DT on NA DC. And ngl - having good party is hardest part getting that ASS clear I did. Best healer fun I had.

Sadge, =[. I need to make a Europe Alt, been meaning to but playing from zero I just don't have the time. Maybe if cross regions become a thing.

From what I hear second hand JP community is fine with how it is now.

Sorry to drif this bit offtopic - but this game is really scary and not well designed to play on high ping, so playing EU can have some challenges. Wish You well and good party for clearing future Criterions.

Been just following this silly thread since a couple days and YT shoving healer strike vids into my face also kept me up to date. I've started playing shortly before EW dropped. I have been a healer ever since. I do savage when I get fc or friends to form a group I can join (I ain't ever gonna touch pf hell) and I've been enjoying healer all this time. I play 99.9% exclusively as Sage and I still love the hell outta that job.
If there's anything I would like to change, it's just more chances to use heals more often. I don't want more dps, just more healing situations. But if you run daily roulettes, theres plenty of runs where you get to heal a crapton, because people are new and don't know how to play or dodge or whatever the hell is going on.

I personally never had much of an issue and I certainly won't strike. You go and stop playing your healers, while I enjoy even faster ques as healer /shrug
