nola pls u surely know u can faceroll all dungeons with 1t3d even on gnb

Done it with GNB, no clemency PLD and WAR. I don't play drk but with a smn and a dnc it should be possible too I think.

Personaly, I think that one of the main issue is that, in FF14, DPS can do nothing to protect their healer(s).

In my eyes, good crafted games based on the holy trinity usually go like this : the healer is the fragile heart of the team, the one who needs to be protected at all costs. Without him/her, the team dies.
So if the healer is in danger, the priority is to defend him/her.
If an ennemy attacks the healer, focus and kill this ennemy, quick !
If the healer is going to take big damage, see if YOU can maybe take damage instead !
etc...

But in FF14 boss design, DPS just can't do that.
The only one who can (but I may be wrong because I don't know all the jobs) is an off-tank paladin with cover.
DPS constantly have to pray that healers survive and can do nothing to help them. So of course it became very frustrating for them very quick when the healer dies. It's understandable.
So what did devs do ? Did they improved the "team-play"?
No, they removed the necessity of the healer...

ok so when I peel adds off a healer and run them to the tank I am NOT protecting the healer? hmmmm ya learn something every day

problem is, thats not as common as it used to be. I do that as well, because its hard to keep the tank or anyone else healed if the healer is having to heal themselves up. but I have noticed that quite a few dps do not do that any more.

I don't want to be a precious angel the whole party has to go out of their way to keep alive, I just want my presence to matter

[Grann-Goro]

Yes, in the current situation, that would be a good start ^^

[JimCasey_RF6]

We should be respecting and supporting our fellow players who are acting out of genuine concern for a combat role they are passionate about in the game we all love. Every disgruntled healer main that is participating in the strike is doing the right thing. The dev team will, without a doubt, get the picture real quick when the effects of the strike start showing in their player metrics

That 1DRK + 3DPS endeavor was run with MINE in the following duties:

1. Holminster Switch - no completion time data.
2. Amaurot - 15:58
3. Bardam's Mettle - 14:57
4. The Tower of Zot - 22:03 (wipe once on last boss, cleared in 2nd pull)
5. Dohn Mheg - 15:17 (also no interrupt/interject used on Fuath)
6. Mt. Gulg - 15:36 (with first megapull of 5 packs & last megapull, NO wipes on both.)
7. Shisui of the Violet Tides - 12:30 (wipe once on megapull after 1st boss)
8. Doma Castle - 15:39 (wipe once on megapull after 1st boss)
9. The Qitana Ravel - 20:25 (wipe once on last megapull)

All of these dungeons are filled with more commonly known "hard to heal by DF healer"-pulls. Again, with MINE active. It's not a situation you'll realistically see in daily DF runs - that's the equivalent of not wearing all gears obtained from first playthrough of MSQ on all 4 participants. It was far from a series of perfect runs. That low of a collective HPS was all that's needed, let that sink in. It should NOT even be a thing ideally.
