#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Punslinger]

I don't personally get why folks are so upset that healer isn't being given many dps buttons. I figure if you want to dps, then play a dps.

This talking point got repeated already? Damn, my watch must be slow. Anyway, here's my refutation of this.

But this healer strike feels more like an ego move and development of a god complex.

And WAR soloing current content isn't, because...?

I think the biggest take away too is to remember that we are part of a team.

In much the same way that the mascot is part of the sports team.

Healers most certainly do have a place.

I want you to sit in the corner and think about what you just said. "Healers aren't allowed to do more than one thing, because they're part of a team, but it's perfectly fine for tanks to solo dungeons."

Okay so what if your tank can literally run the dungeon by himself?

And that's supposed to excuse tanks being OP, because...?

What about your dps? They certainly can't. And even if you don't heal, the additional DPS you provide will help kill things faster.

Not as fast as an actual third DPS job would. With tank self-sustain where it is, all you really need is an RDM or SMN plus any two other DPS jobs for an easy 1T3D fast run. Literally the only reason to bring a healer is because the DF roulette forces you to.

This protest frankly does harm not only to those who are trying to play and causing queues to be high

I have become convinced that the anti-strikers are people who were tragically born without a sense of self-awareness.

You: "I figure if you want to dps, then play a dps."

Also you: "This protest frankly does harm not only to those who are trying to play and causing queues to be high"

Pick one already.

but it also makes the collective healer community look elitist and frankly... really... egotistic.

Yes, we're "elitist" because we want gameplay more engaging than mashing one button over and over. Yep, that's totally a reasonable conclusion that a reasonable person of reasonable intelligence could reasonably draw from the arguments presented.

It's just a game and isn't that serious friends.

What an odd way to end a rant about how we all have "god complexes" and "egotism." If it isn't that serious, why'd you get so worked up about it? Appeal to Triviality is a sword that cuts both ways.
