#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Aravell]

I will never agree to the notion of keeping WHM the 'stupid' of the role. See how well that flows on SMN within caster role lol.

If people want to play 'simple healer' there's already one in the game: Conjurer. Use that. Or suck it up and play inoptimally on any 4 healers. You don't need to be performing at 101% at all times. That's just unrealistic.

It's because the community have shifted the collective opinion to "Anything that loses me even 1 damage per minute is the devil and needs to be purged from the game and never spoken of again".

Look at all the tanks who reject any suggestion of making their multitude of free healing (not you DRK) a little bit less free. Look at all the healers in PF that kick and scream when you suggest that maybe a GCD heal would be good at some point. Look at all the casters or melee who get annoyed when you ask them to Addle/Feint because they have a minor clip to their GCD.

The community is so poisoned by the "damage is everything and anything that loses me damage can die in the fire" mindset that it's probably now unsalvageable. To some people, a 95 on the numbers website isn't a good run, it's the baseline.
