#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

bruh these healer job changes
as someone who plays whm/ast/sch i looked over them and wow man
it's basically nothing
also ast looks like it'll be using even more buttons than before since playing a card involves play 1, play 2, and play 3 instead of just a single play button but maybe i'm mistaken
whm is like, they get glare 4, medica 3, and what looks like ast's dome thing
and sch gets some ability on a 3m cd that turns its current heals a little bit stronger, and an aoe to pair with its 2m buff
bro this actually blows, like there's no way you can look at this and say the devs aren't just in a rut at this point.

SAGE: “To increase attack variation during periods when healing isn't required, new actions such as Eukrasian Dyskrasia and Psyche have been added.”

SCHOLAR: “ To increase attack variation, we have added Baneful Impaction, which can be executed after using Chain Strategem.”

Just…wow…it’s like they *almost* understand the problem. Why doesn’t the “…attack variation during periods when healing isn’t needed…” applied to AST/WHM/SCH too?

Also, AST/WHM getting more mitigation and SCH/SGE getting more burst healing…essentially shows that Pure/Barrier Split is a failure?

It really says a lot by far the biggest change to SCH isn’t even mentioned in its “explanation of changes”

Always has been.

Thank God I don't play healer

Bless your soul. I wouldn't recommend at all.

These jobs aren't being designed by somebody who -wants- to play them.

Cards on the table I’ve been basically cringing at the healer strike for the last two weeks. I’d agreed with it but because of what we saw in the media tour I thought the devs had relented *just* enough for me to have some hopium for the role.

Upon reading the final job changes, fuck that. I’m in. If they can’t bother keeping macrocosmos damage neutral, if they won’t let us keep the double DoT on sage, if they want to keep buffing tank sustain then what the hell are they doing?

I’m not touching healers until they decide they want to make the role fun. #ffxivhealerstrike

The JP Sage thread is celebrating E Dyskrasia no longer stacking so there's clearly an audience they're catering to.

[Supersnow845]

Genuinely I’m done bowing to the whims of the JP playerbase, the last recent survey showed they are a vast minority in the game (like 25% of the playerbase at most)

Why are they even excited, what benefit does this give the job. If your design goal amounts to “i want to be carried whole only half paying attention” you have no business asking for job changes

Honestly just play other MMOs for good healing, JP players are stuck in Classic WoW healer design (ironically designed worsed) and even tank tbh. JP players are not tab target MMO players the game catering to them will be objectively worse for people who have played these MMOs for years, compared to like Koreans and even Chinese players, JP have the most archaic opinions on tab-target MMOs and its not even close.

[KageTokage]

It's just...confusing why they want healers to just be healers in a gameplay environment that has repeatedly proven to not be designed with such as the top priority.

It wouldn't surprise me if the sole reason Eurkrasian Dyskrasia got nerfed from the media tour was because of their whining.
