#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

I will also add once more that a Class can be easy but not boring. But Yoshida already confessed they overdid it with the simplification. We can hope that the strike rises awareness enough that when the change happens it will make everyone happy.

I still think the best way for the developers to become fully aware of the state of Healers would be to get them to play through the entirety of the game as a healer, from character creation to the end of DT. The most being allowed for other roles would be ACN to 30 for SCH.

I don't think Healers aside from AST would have stayed roughly the same for the entirety of ShB, EW and now DT if the people in charge of making the Jobs actually played the game.

Uhm not really BLM is objectively worse now. I heard SAM has had some major issues in non-boss encounters and my friend told me Machinist feels worse too.

No one you mentioned is worst than the current status of healers and tanks

I agree.

As gimped people seems to tell it is now, BLM is still a great improvement in terms of fun and utility over WHM.

The floor is literally at the bottom of the Mariana Trench because a healer can be dead while the boss has 70% HP left and you can still clear the dungeon without issue. The only way that the skill floor can get any lower is if they introduce auto play at this point and trusts aren't that far off from doing just that.

Pretty much...
Actually, I recently tried to do dungeons without a healer (sync of course) and you barelly see any real différence in the entire experience ! It's not only doable, it's pretty much the exact same experience, aka easy ! No special strategy or coordination required, can 2-packs no problem, etc...
Of course, the tank has to manage his cooldowns though...

I played Paladin and I had 3 DPS with me.
I did "The Vault", "Tower of Zott" (hardest dungeon of all Endwalker) and "Tower of Babil", each one with a different group of people. Result of the test : not a single wipe and only 2 deaths in total (because of mistakes).

But wait, it gets worse.
I did another experience after that where I launched a sync level 90 dungeon SOLO. No other player, no trusts ! And it appeared to be doable too !!
It's just very long and tedious, and you have to run a little to keep up with the timer, but it works !!

Paladins are sooo broken and indestructible it's insane !
As a consequence, healers are totally useless in the main content (because yes : dungeons are the main content, and as such they are supposed to be enjoyable in some sort by anyone, including main-healers !)

EDIT : and about "auto-play" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlc-QtQxGys

The attitude of the "strike promoters" is just elitist or mostly out of touch in my opinion.

The attitude of the "strike detractors" is just elitist or mostly out of touch in my opinion.

It's fascinating that your statement is also applicable to your side, is it not? Need I also have to mention that we're called elitists and scrubs at the same time by people on your side of the argument. At the very least, coordinate with ome another so you can finalize if we're elitists or noobs.

This thread is 600 pages long and it feels most of it ots just explaining again and again the same points for detractors that come with similar or contradictory statements.

Of course the strike is like a mighty tree, with a lot of branches. The branches would be the dozend of strike related threads.

Rent free. It keeps the thread bumped to the top. Handy stuff.

[Banriikku]

Bump. Yes this is repetition but people come here and think we want be "OP" or take away somethingh from them. NO. What we want will not change anything for all the "i fight my cat on the keyboard healer" or the "my aquarium is ringing hold my sugar player" and so forth. Nothing will change for the casuals. If healer get more to do in downtime it will not be needed for normal content aka Roullettes. This is for EX, Savage and Ultimates. The added buttons will not take away youre Sylphie-way-of-Life.

Also, people who come and tell us we're a minority since we post in the forum that opposes the majority they claim to "represent" while posting on the same forum.

happy 600 pages, and a merry 600 more of people not reading, telling healers to unsub, repeating the same bad faith arguments, and getting upset because people don't agree with their bad takes.
