#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[sk373t0r]

~~Manifesto~~

• Self-sustain and healing abilities given to other roles.
  The choice/direction to give such abilities to roles outside of healer encroaches on the role.
  
• Over simplified DPS rotation
  Every job in FFXIV has a 'filler GCD' skill that they press when there are no other requirements. No role in the game pushes this skill more than healer. Not by a long shot. Our offensive capability should still feel dynamic and rewarding. Yes, we are healers, but we are also casters.
  
• Homogenization of healer jobs
  Barrier/Pure healer split is largely redundant. All healers essentially play the same with the exception of few and far between niche abilities.
  
• Excessive oGCD heals.
  These are not only abundant, but exceptionally powerful. This in addition to self-sustain on other roles reduces the dynamic of healing comrades.
  
• Lack of engaging content outside the most difficult duties (Savage/Ultimate). i.e. the threat level is too low.
  Healers should feel like they have a place in all forms of content. It is understandable that difficulty can't be so great as to bar progression of story-based content. However, innovative means should still be employed to make greater/full use of abilities.

• This strike is a protest. As such, it is not intended to disrupt the game or the players who have subscribed to FFXIV.
• The message of the strike is a collective voice of those who are not happy with the state of healing and healers in FFXIV.
• Players supporting the strike wish to hold the development team and Square Enix accountable on their promise to provide a fulfilling and enjoyable experience for everyone.
• The activity of a player supporting the strike has chosen to not participate in duties as the healer role. Most supporters are still going to actively participate in duties, meaning they are still contributing to the community. Just not as a healer.
• #FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE in a player's search comments expresses their support of it.
• No player participating in the strike is telling others to do the same or to spread the hashtag. Those who do so are doing so at their own volition.

I would be careful with using terms like "manifesto" if I were you, kinda has a nasty ring to it (Communist manifesto anyone?).

Why not try using a dictionary next time - manifesto is derived from manifest - "Something that is manifest is easy to perceive or recognize, and a manifesto is a statement in which someone makes his or her intentions or views easy for people to ascertain". Latin derivatives noun manus and adjective infestus.

Thanks for bumping the thread!
