#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.

Same experience here. I begrudgingly picked up WHM to fill FC roulettes because, while half my FC are healer mains, everyone is playing Picto and Viper right now and the only difference between EW and DT is that DT actually makes me use all my OGCD heals sometimes. I need to use Tetragrammaton for once, not just lillies. But that's also about it. I only occasionally needed to throw a Cure II in when everyone was in grey MSQ gear.

Thanks SE, that does nothing to convince that healers aren't just borderline abandoned content.

You know that reminds me, I switched to AST for a minute earlier just to see what was up and I was absolutely baffled that, after all their talk about button bloat, they made THREE different buttons for Play. Like what.

Oh it gets better. Take a look at the changes overview on the Job Guide page.

White Mage

The potency of several actions has been increased to keep in line with other healer jobs.

And Samurai gets its 'Tsubame Gaeshi' change explained twice. And MNK's listed potency changes are wrong (probably the wrong action is listed, those potencies look like Tornado Kick/Phantom Rush).

At least AST cards will feel less crap to use, from a 'weaving' standpoint. Can't really say the same for the actual effects though personally

Yea it's supposed to be Phantom Rush for MNK that's going from 1400 to 1500... But I wouldn't mind if it was True Strike that got 1500 potency. It's not like they actually care about balance and as proof of that I offer Healers.

German text for that also mentions several so it's not a case of 'english team done goofed again'.

I actually ran out of comfortable keybinds for it and I haven't even leveled AST fully...I was confused why play is now 3 buttons...

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Today I have learned that WHM's Dia upfront and Dia ticks are separate actions.



Not to mention MNK's section is also.... lmao. Get your quality check together, SE.
