#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[ForsakenRoe]

Yeah, I dont disagree that much, but i think what i described might be a better or easier way to implement more interesting damage dealing. More of an ogcd than a gcd 123 thing. Both can work, i just dont want to see anything too long on a healer dps rotation which is the impression i get. Button creep is helped by the DT change that you can make buttons turn into other buttons though.
Healer gcd damage i think would have to be easily interruptible for healing and not punishing to stop when you need to heal. In fact, it should be rewarding to your healing.
Proc based "rotations" like bard and dancer are probably the way to go, yeah. And they can trim some of the excessive healing ogcds to make room for them. Whm was already overloaded, do they really need a second tetragrammaton stack?

But that's all, maybe its the wording but it does sound like in the manifesto like it suggests making healers continue to dps 80% of the time, just make it more like a dps job. I dont want that.

It is equal parts heartening and ironic that everything that has been said here, I posted about in a thread over a year ago (which I have since reformatted in newer, separate threads for each healer). Healers should have DPS buttons, but not a DPS level rotation (ala melees, BLM, etc etc)? How about WHM being 'Dia is now 12s, Water added as a 15s CD GCD action'? How about SCH getting Miasma (24s) and Shadowflare (15s) back, and upgrading Energy Drain to Bane to aid in applying the DOTs in AOE? Healers should have their damage feed into their healing? How about WHM gets an actual Job Gauge (because the Lily one is so barebones it can afford to have something else), wherein casting damage or healing spells grants this new Gauge, and it allows you to spend 50 Gauge on a damage-neutral AOE heal, which refunds the damage you 'lost' by granting access to Quake, Flood and Tornado, to bring the elemental theme back to WHM somewhat? How about a simple trait for SCH, which reduces the enemy's autoattack potency per DOT applied? How about SGE gets a rework so that it actually delivers on the 'deal damage to heal allies' identity it is supposed to bring?

Time is a flat circle

There you have it. Even ChatGPT says you should quit the game if you're going to really strike and not just refuse to heal in Duty Finder.

wow, Jojoya telling people to just unsub

have to admit thats something I never expected.

No point in continuing beyond the first sentence because the dev team has failed there.

Oh no I read the rest and it's like a reverse dumpster fire of good ideas that will never happen. Iterate? This team only knows how to demolish.

Honestly point 1 has me considering...maybe they are listening but the understanding is lacking...

It's pretty much all the opposite of what SE does lol

[Kes13a]

one has to wonder if Yoshi P and the team have thrown out this slide... because #2 seems to have fallen by the wayside

[KitiaraIornsight]

Oh look, its now the whole thread has descended into bashing the devs. How predictible.

Well, it's not like the detailed and consistent feedback for literal years has produced any results, sooo

Oh, I have. 2 more days and my sub is out. Short of an announcement from Yoshi-P or similar, stating they have heard and will make changes this expansion, I'm out until 8.0.
