#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Aravell]

Though oddly enough I posed a question on the tank forums if they would be willing to take a damage hit for the sake of balance and for healers. Yeah, that did not go over well. Any nerf to tanks would result in the cult of the bald man to raise up. In short tanks would legit rage and they probably would be listened to over healers and everything would be changed back to the way it was.

Of course it wouldn't go well, go to literally any job forum and ask them if they'd like a nerf and the only answer you'll ever get back is a "Hell no!".

I think SE should stop caring what the playerbase thinks about nerfs, nobody will ever like getting their favourite job nerfed, but nerfs and buffs are both essential to balance. Look at the Expedient nerf, most SCH mains agreed that 20s of Sprint was too powerful and they accepted that the nerf had to happen.

Are you saying that tanks would throw a tantrum over a nerf when others would accept a nerf for the health of the game? If tanks would throw a tantrum for such a minor reason then I think SE shouldn't listen to them at all at that point.

My point is SE has shown they have a history to overall listen to tank complaints outside of DRK. That is not the case for healers overall. Given their track record if they complain generally something normally gets done about it. So any nerf probably would be short lived unless overall the tank community felt it was warranted.
