#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

How'd that healerstrike go? Now all endgame content is constant AOE damage, DoTs and mechanics so hectic you'll spend a lot of time healing. You got your wish, right? Healers are super needed again. And with less people playing SMN and RDM, less people to res, making you even more needed in another sense.

Tell that to the *checks notes* 225 Broils I casted in M4S.

Better than my reclear last week. Party decided to try the "No tank LB" strat (I blame Xeno). Needless to say, we still saw Sunrise.

is that in FF14? havent noticed that actually.

I havent noticed anything that actually "super needed" healing, so... you talking about a different game? if so.. which one? I am interested

Aside from the mitigation checks being higher out the gate and tanks taking a lot of auto-attack damage during certain mechanics, it still feels like business as usual where once you've memorized the optimal timing for CDs you're going to need little to no GCD healing to keep people alive.

Saying anything along the line of “constant damage” in FFXIV is how you say “Idk how healing works” without intending to.

Unless ofc that’s a sarcasm. Thanks, that was a good laugh.

Only a few bosses from the casual end really got more healing needed. The 93 trial has a perma raid DoT that pops up at 50% boss health to slightly bump up healing needed. The 95 dungeon final boss has deadly knock backs that still does heavy unavoidable damage when done right. Most of the rest... Umm... Not so much.

As I said before, the mechanics are too reliant on dancing around avoidable stuff or dying. I get why it is done to grant more survival accountability to everyone. However, this also means we have times zero damage happens when everyone avoids. Some notes may need to be taken from the above bosses as well as slowly increasing boss auto damage so more healing can be required.

As for the SMNs and RDMs being more rare, it's more so a symptom of PCT flat out being better than the other 3 classes for Spell Ranged slots. In a way, I believe RPR is also noticed to be very strong for similar reasons of offering a raid 2% buff and higher than expected personal damage. The melee side is less of a problem since the more selfish DPS on that end can actually compare to RPR. Although that does mean DRG and NIN may need another look to verify if they are okay still.

The healer dev is the same dev who does caster and range DPS jobs. Until we get a healer dev, there will always be the gulf we face.

Where's this information from? If it's true, that means that one person is responsible for 11 jobs, more than half of the cast (guessing they don't also handle BLU).

IF it's true, I mostly think this dev is not doing a good job with casters and ranged either. Maybe all their effort was put into BLM in EW, and then PCT in DT. Maybe they cant handle making more than one job good at a time, and they should hire more people to cover the other 10 jobs.

Clearly their staff is at their capacity with the number of jobs in the game. Each job cannot receive love like they did in the past.

That's true. NIN and DRG right now feel... different than expected for their classes. I got NIN to 100 recently and there's so many CDs to keep track of that I keep forgetting about some. (Though it does feel distinct to have a job that feels like it has a small burst window practically every 20 seconds.) IDK maybe that's just a symptom of DNC being my main and RPR was my EW main and both are mildly "turn off your brain" jobs.
