#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Kozmakis]

I did not do PvE as a healer in SWTOR but it was fun in PvP, since it used same PvE skills. Keeping yourself and allies alive when people are actively trying to burst you down was very engaging challenge which is on completely opposite side of how healing feels in FFXIV.

It was so funny as Sorcerer to cast Force Barrier at <10% hp in the middle of the arena, while 5-6 people keep trying to kill you haha So much fun with funny utility spells...

But we digress... I have a question - I checked out the new Extreme Dungeons. Don't worry, it was on a stream, not in-game, I don't have a DPS at level 100 yet, leveling is super slow with these dungeon queues. They don't look that hard, if you know the mechanics; at the same time they look punishing for healers, there's a lot of pressure to not get oneshot (even with 0 vulnerability stacks) from almost insta-cast red circles, which might happe while resurrecting others... There's like no learning curve for your role, just the content, and if the DPS keep dying even with Swiftcast CD reduction it looks probable you might end up slow-casting res... I want to ask the people, who completed them - is that a fair assumption? I am considering playing them on my Sage to check them out, but only after I cancel the auto-renewal of my subscription beforehand, so I am not sure... Let me know, thanks!

I healed them. They're not punishing. I DPSed them. The healers died, and it still didn't matter. The non-Warrior tank and I lived to the end of the bosses anyway. Still no effort required even in "expert" dungeons.
