#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Silver-Strider]

Time to check in with the strikers now that Savage has been released.

How are things going? Are you enjoying playing tank and/or DPS in content? Have your EX/Savage groups been clearing content easily without healers because healers are pointless, or struggled to find healers since you aren't healing anymore but your party needs healers?

Or did you back out of the strike and pick up your healing cane/codex/astrolabe/nouliths for group content after all?

Please don't talk about what you're seeing in PF. I want to know how things are with your personal game play. Discontent with individual job design aside, are all the claims made that led to the decision for you to strike true in Dawntrail?

I was enjoying VPR until 7.05 so now I'm just leveling jobs out of boredom more than anything. My old static asked me if I was interested in joining for the raid tier but I just haven't really found a job that keeps me engaged anymore and can't really see myself even continuing to play. I'm going to level everything to 100 and try again in 8 0

I usually level all healers first... but this time leveled PICT and going through story as Warrior...in my underwear!

Been avoiding using it in roulettes aside from frontlines and MSQ roulette. PvP healer is fun of course, and MSQ Roulette is all lv50 content where any job feels as lackluster as healers. If anything it's better to heal there since you nor the other party members have all the tools that make GCD healing irrelevant.

I also occasionally heal when playing with friends after getting matched with traumatizingly bad ones or if it's the only slot left in the group. I don't really sense much of a difference, especially now that everyone's better geared and we're all more used to the mechs. We had a DT dungeon run where I was dozing off so badly that I literally do not remember what happened during the last boss fight, but I've been told I didn't get hit once and everyone was also doing fine, so there's also that.

I am curious how many are actually striking specifically, and how much this is business as usual for an expansion with 2 DPS classes.

I still like healing a lot so enjoying content that is newer and isn't outgeared yet while it lasts.

I thought about maining Picto or Viper for a bit since I enjoyed leveling them - did some normals on Picto also. But... even DPS classes I like just don't hold my interest that long and I'm back rotating between healers. VPR being ruined so quickly also just removed my excitement for going into that direction.

Edit: Also my go-to DPS, Summoner, has finally bored me to death by adding nothing new in DT as far as the actions I engage with. So being bored and bottom-tier DPS doesn't appeal to me.

Things are going pretty awful actually, since the DPS job I was going to play in Savage got the healer treatment and was made unfun for no reason. So now I'm looking for another main job to play before the devs ruin that too. The number of jobs keeps increasing but the list of jobs I still like is getting shorter.

Meh at least it was not gutted like SMN.

The most stable job is RDM.
Over the years they only added more Finisher and tweaked this and that a bit.

And it's VerFun, it's VerCool and do everything with VerStyle
(and as a bonus you can use VerStone, VerAero, VerLife and VerCure ^^)

Shhhh, don't let Square know it's still fun, they'll rework it the next patch.

It's still a complete shame they went with Veraero 2 and Verthunder 2 for aoe instead of Verblizzard and Verwater though.
