#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Isala]

For the longest time ever it always seemed that only BLM gets an improved gameplay because after all that's Yoshi's favorite class, and it has been said in multiple interviews that none of the developers actually play, or main, healers. Geez, I wonder why the class is such in a sorry state after all? By all means keep giving tanks and dps more healing and shielding options, all dungeons in EW could already be done without a healer and I bet that the same will happen now.

You know what's saddest about that? Even his class has finally been hit with the "Braindead Bat." Which, let me tell you, is depressing as hell. The one class that we could almost be sure actually took a brain to play, because it was the love child of Yoshi P, and yet here we are in Yawntrail, and his class is just as dumb as everyone else's.

Can confirm. I don't think anyone on staff plays the game to a degree where they actually care about it. They probably play it for like 5 mins and say "feels fine to me".

Or in the case of healers, "that looks fine".

I wouldn't say that Black Mage is braindead, but it's certainly a lot easier than before. I miss the sharpcast tech, and needing to force out some movement opportunities, rather than just having three almost free movement GCDs in every fire phase.
I'll still enjoy it, but I'll feel less full of myself for beating savage tiers with it this time around.
