#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Kes13a]

Ideally, it's foreshadowing that they're planning to once again include more dispellable debuffs as part of fights in the near future? The role quests I've done so far (including the Healer one) seem more focused on story than action, but in the Lvl 100 duty, you're certainly doing a lot more than just casting Esuna...it's just one gimmick in the fight.

The role quests all involve various degrees of humor. As do a variety of quests throughout the entire history FFXIV, not even counting the Hildibrand ones...

It is. The "strike" people just never accepted that they're so ridiculously small in number compared to the playerbase that this was never going to do anything. Let alone going on "strike" at the start of a new expansion when a ton of people will be returning and just filling the role in their place...

you'll have to excuse me if I dont hold my breath waiting for more things to dispell. oh yes, I was also casting a lot of glares, a few dias a heal or two.... certainly foreshadowing whats to come. a lot more of what we had previously...

you know, for us being a small minority you certainly spent a large amount of time here commenting and bumping the thread. whats your deal in all this. closet supporter?

Lol I did the level 100 healer duty in level 90 gear and still didn't need to use all of my kit. Maybe I should try level 80 gear in the next expansion.

All of the DT role quests were hilariously bad

It’s not even the team rocket villains (I actually found the healer villain hilarious, especially since we sent them blasting off at the end and we even saw the star, that’s like peak team rocket) it’s the fact that none of the quests respect the role you are supposed to be

The caster role quest was for casters because they wanted someone magically inclined to figure out what the artefact does, the PLD miqote chick ends up being the one to figure out what it does while we do nothing, the phys ranged one said something like needing someone to strike from a distance because the shield blowback effect- which never ever came into play anyway and you could fight him at melee ranged, the tank one the NPC you help is also a tank so you offer nothing unique, the melee one doesn’t even justify why they want a melee specifically other than the NPC being a ARC

Healer ironically justifies itself best but in the most superficial way as the only debuffs you are inflicted with you barely even need to bother cleansing and the damage in the fight is so low you are barely doing anything

These role quests feel like a “combined society of x role” when you hit level 30 in every job of the role, not the level 100 quests

and 90% of them have been shit. Haven't used Bloodbath so often as a DPS as I have this expansion just to survive unavoidable damage because these replacements couldn't heal their way thru a wet paper bag, much less a dungeon.

I've been seeing quite a lot of healers who are so used to EW content that they just heal the party up really slowly and people occasionally just die to unavoidable damage because damage doesn't come out in 60s intervals like it did in EW anymore.

I was stuck for 45 minutes in Skydeep Cenote, going thru 3 healers on the last boss because they couldn't stay alive.

Party was a DRK, myself as a NIN, my friend on their BRD and a SCH/SGE/AST.
The SCH died at the start of the last boss 3 times in a row before they just left, probably from embarrassment.
The SGE just failed to heal at all during the stack mechanics. Complained about lack of mitigation, despite several times when Feint, Troubadour, etc being up. Never saw a Panhaima that's for damn sure so we just booted them after they became belligerent.
The AST got into the dungeon and D/c'd never to return.

My friend got fed up with it, left to requeue as his SCH and we got a replacement VPR and cleared it 1st try. He had to do leveling roulette again and I went healer to repay him but god, it was just an awful experience

This part is just wild to me.

How is a SGE complaining about lack of mitigation in a dungeon? When they have:

> Kerachole
> Holos
> Panhaima
> Zoe + E.Prognosis
> Physis + E.Prognosis

No need to really strike, we are not needed anymore. I tried one of the new expert dungeons and died on the final boss very early. The group cleared the boss without me.

Tank self sustain is beyond crazy broken but dps self sustain is not far behind. I watched them all heal to full constantly. It was very depressing as a healer.

I wish I was joking but I have gotten so many awful healers this expansion that I've rearranged my hotbar just to keep any and all self heals/mitigation as easily accessible as possible on my DPS jobs. I don't trust them anymore that when I get a good one, I will always commend them without hesitation.

Don't forget, for the tank or vuln stacking DPS, you've also got Taurochole, Haima, and Krasis boosted E.Diagnosis. Once you hit 100 you've got Philosophia boosted E.Prognosis as well.

Had a Sage in Tender Valley earlier today that didn't even know what Kardia was. Had to explain it to them after the first boss and they just put it on themselves and stopped responding. I've never had such an easy time getting Living Dead to work.

healing is hard in dt... everyone dies all the time over and over to the exact same things... they cant seem to figure it out after becoming accustomed to braindead content for 5 years.

Healing didn't magically become "hard". The good healers either left or are playing other roles.
