#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Punslinger]

This is ridicoulous it is a videogame as it is, just play as something else.

That's...why I'm here. /obiwanmeme

In 4 man content when DPS and Tanks make fatal mistakes, they get rezzed and continue on to play, when a healer makes a fatal mistake without a RDM or SMN around they get punished by having to sit in the naughty corner facing the wall, unable to play.

And I guarantee the solution proposed by DPS/Tank players and probably the Devs, will be to "just give the tanks raise", instead of actually making healers, and the concept of holy trinity relevant.

It's utterly baffling that they do this, and how they march in absolute lockstep. To a man, the status-quo defense brigade all think that healers should be the FF14 equivalent of letting the slow kid clap the erasers after class so he feels like he's doing something useful. "Can't give healers any complexity, because then people might die. Can't make healers necessary, because then people might die. Only DPSers and tanks can be trusted to clear, so they need to do the healer's job for them, because otherwise people might die."

"A healer dying and causing the party to fail from lack of healing will cause friction between players", ok.

But apparently a tank refusing to wipe in new content and forcing everyone to watch them solo the boss from 80% despite being asked to wipe and let the new people learn......doesn't cause friction between players?

While I’m 99.9% playing PCT and refusing to queue as a healer I did relent once and helped my friend who had been sitting in the queue for Sphene for like 4 hours and just wanted to finish the story

Everyone besides me and the 2 tanks died during her “clusterfuck” phase and from there the tank wasted the LB3 then both were actively trying to get me killed from then on till I could get the rest of the party up

At this point the tanks are actively trying to solo the boss without the rest of the party

As some arrogant tank mains would say:

"Sounds like a skill issue", amirite?

I played healer in dungeon 3 times and slept 3 times while in dungeon..

The healer strike is going really well.

The healer strike is going really well.

And as has been explained 10,000 times AIN defaults to tank, queue for the those, you’ll get a 30 second-5 minute queue on tank and it’ll pop instantly on healer

It’s because the game only checks tanks before it checks healers, if there is 30 groups that need a healer and 1 group out of that 30 also needs a tank the game will show tanks in need

I tested and queued as a healer and waited 3 minutes before getting in, tried as a tank and it was instant.

So much for your strike.

Pack it up, boys. Brian25, who doesn't know how the duty finder selects adventurer in need said that he totally had to wait 3 minutes when he queued as a level 35 healer.

Regardless of what is or isn't true about the AIN system, queueing once them immediately making a global conclusion is actually the most foolish way to validate any information regarding the situation.

"The traffic on this road is terrible!"

"Well I drove on it once at 3 AM and there was no one on the road. So much for your so called traffic."

But also, not the point of the thread anyway.
