#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Punslinger]

Do you hate the petty healers on healing strike?
Do you think the healers that come in only to raise and never heal are lame lame-O's?
Are you a DPS who waits 30 minutes to queue up only to have a healer screw you over and think that's pretty weak?
Do you need a healer for quick queues?
400K per run and I'll come heal for you!!

Why pick me? Because I'll play the game like an adult and do my job (healing)!!

If you think our complaints are so petty, then why charge people to heal for them? I mean, if you have to be bribed to do your job, then clearly, it must be something you can't enjoy very much.

(snip)

This is the part where we're supposed to pretend that healing parties blind-running the first dungeon of a new expansion in min-ilvl gear is representative of the state of healing as a whole in the entire game.

Instead of, y'know, pointing out that the exact same thing happened in EW and ShB, before healing went right back to 211111111 spam the instant people were geared up.

Why would anyone give healer a try when it is so braindead that a chimpanzee that is blindfolded could do it.

I think even the chimps would feel their intelligence to be insulted by the role.

You'd think that would have send a message a long time ago. While it doesn't tell SE what is wrong with the role (they can look at the healer subforum for that), it does clearly show something is wrong. For years.

But maybe SE just twisted that message into something completely backwards. Like: players must really hate playing healers, we better make sure healers have to heal as little as possible.

I can absolutely believe this. Yoshida saw the healer numbers going down, checked the JP forums, saw no complaints about the role, ignored the NA/EU forums entirely, and concluded that healing must still be too complicated, and it needed to be dumbed down more. Because he doesn't actually play healer (he mains BLM), and because he kicks good healers from the internal testing team, he has no idea how braindead boring the role is.

Now we know you're lying. Nobody comms their healers.

Sorry, what? I get blasted with comms as a healer more than as a tank or DPS.

I have twice today after the healer saved 2 nightmare dungeon runs. Gotta love tanks who don't understand their job at all.
