#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Shurrikhan]

I do not think people are claiming that, the difference between WoW, SWTOR and FFXIV. Is I do not think SE wants healers to be the point of failure in group content. I do not think they want a single role to be the point of failure when it comes to their core gameplay. Look at tanks, aggro management is a thing of the past, and the moment they have an issue holding aggro they just buff aggro gen.

It appears SE wants the point of failure to be on the group overall and not just one role. Least it seems like that.

I love healing in SWTOR merc healer was a lot of fun, and disc priest and rshammy are also a lot of fun. Also specs come into play cause if you want brain dead healing in WoW or Tor you just went rdruid or sorc.

Point of failure was never on just one role, though. Enrages exist and sheer time-efficiency still exist, the risk and/or reward from which all but healers engage with decently. Tanks can still live or die, and of course cost their party dps, through failure to mitigate sufficiently.

Why should other roles be allowed engagement even when its potential failure points (e.g., mitigation, enrage) aren't pushed to their limits while healer alone should not only have little to no other means of engagement but also not be allowed any significant test of its unique potential failure points?

Also specs come into play cause if you want brain dead healing in WoW... you just went rdruid...

Not surprised that cat-weaving / moon-weaving was left out despite absolutely being a "healer's" job there (at least) as much as here.
