#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[ForsakenRoe]

Didn't people talk about this earlier, how the DF isn't actually accurate when someone posted a pic when there was pretty much only tank job showing up?
Like I've had instant queues when I was a DPS in a queue where healer and/or tanks were showing.

Yes, as I said, the system has a bias towards showing tanks first. Like how previously, before fixing it, the PVP queue would fill Maelstrom first (so premades would get put on Mael, leading to the perception that Mael wins at PVP more than other teams. The point is, if healers are showing in need for things despite this bias towards tanks, then the healer 'need' is actually really big

I wouldn't say "Really big" personally.
I have to wait pretty much the same time for roulettes as before, Even with 2 new DPS jobs and a healer strike.
But I guess the experience might differ from servers / data centers.

My personal anecdotal experience usually involves:

• Seeing tank in need but insta queue on healer 8 out of 10 times
• Seeing healer in need but about 1 out of 3 times I actually have to wait. Usually no insta queue on two other role if I try to switch around.

If I have to make a wild guess, it's because the UI takes 6969 years to update. By the time a player sees any icon at all when they open DF, chances are good that it's been on-going for good amount of minutes (and thus have likely taken in the appropriate amount of needed role as well).

But are people REALLY queuing just for the In Need bonus? Seems like that is just something you get by accident when you queue up for your own reasons. Especially this early in the expansion when people only have one role leveled and so can't easily switch.

I only ever queued for the "In need" bonus.

I would say it's more likely because more people are willing to heal for the rewards even if that's not their preferred play style. People are less likely to tank for the role in need rewards because there's a sense of responsibility and pressure even if incredibly small. Healing on the other hand is so braindead and easy, so when it shows healer in need, you get a bunch of tank or DPS players switching for that extra gil.
