#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Fixed. Their testing healer was replaced because they started learning Extreme and normal raid, not even savage.

Here the full quote :
"We replaced our dungeon tester for healers because they were getting too good...this person had started learning normal raids and extreme"

Wow. That's even worse than I remembered... Good lord.

I'm not against the strike, I just don't see the point in it. SE hasn't listened so far, so what makes you think "We'll get 'em this time, boys! This time for sure!"?

Because doing something is always better than doing nothing. Giving feedback might mean it will get ignored, not giving any guarantees it will be. Will this amount to anything tangible? Maybe not. Has it gotten more people talking about healers than any other time in the last decade I can think of? Yes.

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

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

I'm not white-knighting the devs if that's what you're insinuating. I just think that everyone here hasn't quite considered all the facts and one of those being that the void left behind by the striking healers won't be so easily filled. So go enjoy your DPS jobs until it's time to queue for your first MSQ trial. I've played DPS the whole game (except for Savage raiding; but surely *this time* I won't have to switch to healer just to complete the tier in a reasonable amount of time, right? right?). The queue times are downright hurtful at times. 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.

It's easy to ignore a inconvenient truth if it makes doing something easier.... but it's foolish to ignore that truth if one isn't prepared to accept the natural consequences of ignoring said truth.

Not exactly bright...

Your time is also their time cause you know they joined you in queue and run if you meet them.

Second, there is duty support for dungeons.
You can pf to trials and raids too if you dont like DF.

Lastly this isnt face to face protest also i doubt they mention to other healers join or else...
Also im pretty sure if it wasnt a big deal it wouldnt had recieved the buzz and other healers wouldnt have agreed on the core as most of them clearly understand why it being done.

Because even if SE continues to ignore the ex-healers, those healers at least get to go do something else fun instead. And if all the naysayers and anti-strikers want to step up and replace them, by all means nobody is stopping them, because it just insures said ex-healers experience no downside whatsoever to the strike while the supposed "gotcha" crowd has to do the thing they're sooooo sure is perfectly designed and fun.

Alright then, bluff has been called, and we fully expect this new batch of healers to do what they're told with zero complaints because they literally asked, nay, begged and bragged about taking over the role.

Basically if there will be healer missing issue the strike wins. If there isnt or you must change to healer and hate to be one, they still enjoy their new job so they still win.

Pfff, precisely

Our queue time as DPS/Tank will be the same as already non healer players and we all know it. So I don't get the point.

Or, maybe you want to force us playing a job we don't enjoy anymore for the sole reason we start the game with that role ? Are taking us for your slaves or something ?

If you're afraid you can't be patient enough for the queue times, you're free to switch to healer.
