#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Mortex]

Dude, WTF are you doing?

How many times are you going to argue before you just give up?

They don't understand how to read logs, they probably haven't beaten MSQ, they've done literally a fraction of the content you have, and have literally zero interest in acknowledging your opinion or stance on anything that ever disagrees with them in good faith. In their eyes, you are below them. A nuisance. A minority. They're just coming here to make you, specifically, engage with their nonsense and then discount it because you don't matter to them. They're an enemy to people like us, who want the game to live up to it's gameplay potential. You cannot change the mind of a cultist.

Why are you wasting your time?

Stop debasing yourself, have more respect for yourself, at least more respect than this zealot will ever give you.

If you're going to respond, at least snip their post so I don't have to have this drivel appear on my computer monitor for even a single frame. Waste of the processing power to display the text.

It’s true that a decent number of people don’t read anything what we posted already in this thread but we are playing dps (at least I play dps) so I have a decent wait time anyway and can do a lot of different things. Also lucky for me I have 2 friends that give me fast daily’s because they aren’t bored of healers yet (god bless them)

"Healer's strike is dumb, why did they choose THIS expansion to strike?"
"What are they even going on about? Seriously they are nothing but a bunch of casuals complaining"
"Well, a few of them do harder content, but I swear this is people just complaining and not knowing why"

Me;

"So, I know that some people are joining because the 1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1 spam is boring and puts people to sleep. They are just wanting it to be interesting"

Them:

"Y'know what? That's kinda fair. I don't play healer's because of the spam"

This has been my experience as well. It seems a lot of people only have information about the whole affair from streamers and we all know how they covered it.

Playing healers in other MMOs then touching it again in XIV is always insane. Its so weird to have such a large healing kit yet a single oGCD can normally heal someone close to full hp.
I seriously don't understand the current healing potencies for the amount of healing tools there are.

I'll never understand why so many people take CC's words as universal truths, especially when you know that CC's goal is to say whatever gets them more viewers and subs while they don't even mean what they say most of the time.

[...]There is no “single thing to focus on” that would actually fix healers because they are broken in so many different ways

I'm gonna be real here. If anybody ever think that there exists a single 'magic fix' that will right the role, they're either delusional or blinkard.

Is your argument really just "they should fundamentally change the game for everyone else so it suits me and I can play DPS on what is supposed to be a defense-oriented role"? You're not being "excluded". You have personal preferences that are different than what the developers envision. There are two other roles and a slew of other games that feature dynamic, offensive gameplay. This is one game that has one role for people who want to focus on support and defense/healing first (on a healer no less). Are you fine with "excluding" those people instead? Heck, you're playing a game developed in Japan, where the gaming culture itself leans heavily toward healers being healers first, and doing offense as an after-thought. So let's change an entire culture just to fit what you want.

And second, if you feel you can't enjoy the game because of how healers have been designed for several years now, then why are you even subscribed right now? Your argument would make more sense if they had just radically altered how healers work for DT. They haven't. Heck, earlier in your post you even mention that this is the 3rd expansion in a row with a different philosophy toward healers than what you want. If this is somehow stopping you from playing, then why are you even subbed at the moment to begin with? (Meant as a legitimate question, not implying you should unsub.)

Ah yes, personal preference that is echoed by the whole healer community aside from the japanese minority which matters. Healers in FFXIV HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GREEN DPS, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT, END OF THE LINE. And it was progressively gutted, that's the issue. Just unsub is a terribly immature thing to say.
The holy trinity is a thing of the past, espcially on healers who would spend their time looking at their hp bars in many games. Even Yoship said that healers shouldn't do that ffs. Also, it's mostly in this game's japanese community that players are terribly bad, chief among them healers. They're not representative of healers in the slightest yet it's them who are heard.

Also solutions are unified, wtf are you on about ? The healer community which wants changes knows what kind of changes they want, don't be weird. And they take into account 111111 spammers. Ie, see what has been suggested for sage countless times, which would fit ALL playstyles, including netflix gaming.

If you want to join in on a discussion, know your subject. Especially since you seem very new.

It was just funny. Current content does look to be really fun and I actually been looking at it with starry eyes kinda wanting to heal for it. . .but then I just remember the spam and most of my drive goes away.

Virtually everyone I talk to outside of these forums, the conversation goes exactly just like this.

I crossed the line and became a WAR, so much fun and feels insane.
