#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Sharawiwi]

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?

This savage tier was the last straw that broke my back.
I gave it a try with competent friends and got bored out to death by the designs & the lack of healing to do on most (not M3S) fights.
When I'm not healing, either a friend of mine plays healer or we can't find one.

What I was looking for (engaging savage with good designs) as a last beacon of hope to stay on FFXIV as disappointed me greatly, as it was one of my main enjoyment with fishing when I started playing.
For now, I've decided to move on and stop FFXIV, I might come back in 7.55 for the legendary fishes and maybe prepare for the release of the 8.0 (copious amounts of copium for the job overhaul).

Man, I really hope the 7.1 PvP update delivers with proper long term and high rank grinds. It's the only place where Healers remain fun to play.

Only way I do 2 million damage with zero kills in FL lol.

Oh and they should buff SGE, for some reason Phlegma still has shorter range than any melee ability in PvP like wtf?

I wonder how quickly Square would nerf it if people somehow managed to co-ordinate groups of 8 SCH going around committing war crimes in PvP with Biolysis.

On NA servers they did it ^^
I don't remember which DC but i saw a post on Reddit with a screenshot of a 8 Scholar Party in Frontline.

Been doing that with some of my friendos. Terrorizing with our 7-9 millions damage per SCHs but still loses sometimes looool.

It’s more fun than whatever this clownfest of a job designers cooked up for the supposed main content that is PvE sections for healers.

While healers still suck and are boring in PvE content, I will say that healing M2S when the boss has 4 stacks was the most fun I've had healing in recent memory, but that also shows that healing in DT is still only fun if the party plays badly.

Perfect runs are still a boring slog of 1 button with a DoT refresh every half a minute.

I haven't done Savage but I am enjoying Pictomancer. It's a fun job!

My FC uses healers when we do content because the officers believe people should play whatever they want and we have members who like playing healers. We're really not interested in what's the most efficient way to get clears or in doing things by the latest meta du jour.

I'm still participating in the strike. I occasionally play White Mage and am only leveling that job via quests and trusts. It feels weird not maining a healer after so many years and I miss it. Yet, nothing has changed. The issues healers have complained about have not been addressed.
