#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Shurrikhan]

Food for thought: When a healer refused to stop healbotting my Warrior, I dropped all self-healing and mitigation during trash just to see what would happen. Even favoring Cure over Cure II or maintained Regen, he was still frequently overhealing even while slipping in occasional damage or stopping to type. Again, that was without me using a single self-heal or mitigation skill in W2W pulls in which he joined late (unless he had Rescue with which to pull me back as I used Sprint). Like, I was doing everything I could to make his habits feel like they had a context in which they'd be warranted and even with the Cure Is and no tank skills (nor Temperance, etc.) used, he was still ending up with downtime or majority overheating.

In most Endwalker multi/all-packs pulls, I would not have survived that off incomplete uptime, let alone with so much spent on Cure I. I've heard commonly that Dawntrail dungeons are finally requiring some GCD heals, but I can't remember having to use any outside of Afflatus spells while leveling WHM, and as a tank the risks seem even fewer than in Endwalker and that's without even accounting for our added self-sustain.
