#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Haven't bothered to read the 763 page essay about this but I am interested. Since Dawntrail has come out, we've had time with two EXs, dungeons and normal raids.

How do the healers who originally went on strike feel about the new content? Because when I healed them I felt satisfied. I can understand both points of view from Endwalker content but I wanna know if anyone's opinions changed or if you feel the same?

I mean yeah, warrior is another kettle of fish. But I needed a healer for every other tank. And warrior needs healers for raids. It doesn't have as much mitigation.

SE needs to take some notes from Blizzard on the tank and healer problem. Blizzard figured out the problem and is actively fixing it. SE is not.

So is the issue really just with warrior then?

No, it is every tank class.

No, it is every tank class.

What about them? Cos I don't get enough sustain to manage current content from any other than warrior. I'm just curious not picking fights.

Anecdote, but with good DPS, I ended up doing most of a couple dungeons without a healer on DRK. Was dicey keeping the DPS alive and I did have at least one DPS with AoE heals each time, but between DRK's invuln providing a full heal, some trash kiting, and everyone dodging, we squeaked through trash and the first couple boss fights each time while healer was afk and couldn't yet be replaced.

On Warrior, though, I've little doubt that would have instead been basically absent of stress.

On healer, the DT dungeons felt like they required even fewer GCD heals, if anything, on the tank during trash (no at-cost heals if tank was competent, few if they mismanaged CDs) and no greater amount on DPS from unavoidable boss damage.

I haven't bothered leveling a healer after being disappointed with them the last couple expansions. And from what I can gauge by both playing the encounters and viewing the statistics from the logs, it's just more of the same. You are still spamming Glare 3 or the equivalent for the vast majority of your time playing. And they didn't even BOTHER to give them a visual upgrade this time lmao
