#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Look, everyone, it's all explained here, we just didn't read it correctly: https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/battle/ I quote:

Healers use restorative arts to mend wounded companions. They can also help to mitigate damage, remove detrimental effects, and even bring fallen allies back to life.

So now that there are no wounded companions and our help with mitigation is not needed, our job is quite obvious - start spamming Esuna and revive, they have even reduced the cooldown on Swiftcast to make that easier!!

Jokes aside, casual looking for a non-healer job to main in DT, hit me up with suggestions, thanks in advance

I went for Dancer because the proc-based rotation is scratching the itch of semi-randomness I'm used from Astrologian. I'm having a blast and I'll be raiding as DNC in Dawntrail.

DNC - easy and fun proc-based job with healing support
BRD - dots
RPR - easy to pick up and looks cool, some heal support
VPR - a fun but more advanced playstyle, no healing support
RDM - heal and raise support with good mobility
WAR - easy all-rounder

Thank you for the suggestions, looks like Dancer is the way forward and Warrior is "backup" option if I want to try tanking.

I just hope you're all prepared to go from not enjoying the game because you don't like how a job is designed - to not enjoying the game because you literally can't play it while you wait for someone else to play that job you don't like.

I am sorry, I do not know you and I might be misreading it, but this sounds like a "guilt-trip" towards healers... We are all paying and playing to have fun, right? I already have my real-life job to do what I am supposed to do whether I enjoy it or not, so thanks, but no thanks - I prefer having fun, I can group up with friends/FC instead of waiting for randoms

Thank you for asking me to clarify instead of just assuming! So that was intended to be lightly sarcastic... There is nothing enjoyable about having to wait to play the game the way you want to play it. There is nothing enjoyable about playing a job you don't like.

If you're not enjoying the game, by all means change jobs! Just know that this void you're leaving behind is one of the most sought-after jobs in the game. Everyone needs a healer to queue. There just aren't any competent healers left in the game anymore. If you have a way to queue without reaching out to a random healer through DF then good for you, but others joining this cause might not have that support. So I mean, it's literally a "pick your poison" situation for them. Play a job you don't like or have to sit in queue with 172,634 other DPS (IDK I made up that number) who also changed jobs.

At least there's enough side content I enjoy playing that I can do during periods I'm waiting on the queues, whereas fast queues only matter if I like doing the content - and that's questionable with current healer designs. Like the old adage, 'no D&D is better than bad D&D', the same is true here.

Might be a good time to catch up on all those side quests you never completed from previous expansions, eh?

Honestly yeah, I kinda want to do every quest and I reaaaally need to grind a bunch of FATEs, various crafting and other nonsense on my list. Enough to keep me occupied to 8.0 at least, and I'm hopeful we see something then if not sooner. Maybe that hope isn't realistic, but I'd rather be hopeful than not, y'know?

The only quests like that for me, are Blahsja and Zadsnore, and that one fishing quest from ARR. And I would rather play healer than do those absolute tragedies of game design. Cause I really don't care about getting ugly relics, and the person who designed that fishing quest, and fishing in general, needs a shot to the junk. Maybe they're the one designing healers, come to think of it.
