#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

the WoW announcement, like it or not, indicates an actual vision for their developers and where they plan to take both healers and tanks.

we get nothing. I dont really care either way if they want us to be green dps or healers or just a body that gets carried in content... but have the common courtesy and decency TO LET US KNOW!

its their game, and all this continued silence is saying is "we dont know what we are doing and there is no clear vision of where we are going with healers. we arent even sure we want them"

I do agree they need to tell us what they plan going forward and stick with it. That way players can make the choice if said role is meant for them or if the game is meant for them.

It's not so much about a role not being for everyone, but them constantly whittling a role down and not replacing it with anything.
While damage for now in DT isn't actually completely negligible, it will have to be seen how much of it remains after people gear up... A lot of attacks from bosses are generally completely avoidable, and extremely punishing if you do get hit. This creates a situation where you only heal when people stand in AoEs, or just have to move straight to raising them.

And what unavoidable damage there is, is often completely manageable with little to no work from a Healer.


And thus, by Square's own design, Healers shouldn't Heal. But they refuse to give Healers anything else.
