As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.
I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess



"Wow, I can't believe you healers are still not happy after the last 2 patches made absolutely no attempt to address any of your concerns whatsoever!"
I know it's the internet, so you are required by game license to reach for outrage.
Let me put this another way:
"The deafening silence isn't answer enough for you yet?"
Guys. It's been months. They do not care about this theoretical strike you have, and your goal is kneecapped at the gate by the precise thing that handicaps every single strike:
No one is *really* on strike. Or if that inflates your rage-gland too much, maybe "Your group does not number sufficiently for anyone to be bothered by this."
Queues are still popping, all day every day.
So.
Y'all still going on about this?



Sure, couldn't really hurt lvling but man the things I've heard about in savage raiding and all that, which is where most of the attention, not to mention this recent thing Yoshi-P said, https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...-about-content suggests things that are concerning to them.
See, this is new to me, and that's good. It's good that this isn't thousands of comments just whinging into the wind. (Which is the vast majority of mmo threads.)Sure, couldn't really hurt lvling but man the things I've heard about in savage raiding and all that, which is where most of the attention, not to mention this recent thing Yoshi-P said, https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...-about-content suggests things that are concerning to them.
If Yoshi is aware (and gives a damn) then I retract my statement.
Keep going on about it.




So, what is your point, exactly? Does it really bother you that much if people want to post in a forum thread? There are plenty of threads to select.I know it's the internet, so you are required by game license to reach for outrage.

Edited- as it's particularly interesting as it seems that you're interested enough to make almost all of your posts in this one thread, and all of them just to complain. Bored much?

I would also like to see the healers improved, but it does concern me on a couple points for the healer strike's intent.
It feels like it was just phase 1 for the green river happening with Savage PF. Although for a while, some of us thought it was the random roulette dungeons that will actually send a message for phase 2 so to speak. I actually got a slightly quicker queue as DPS today for levelling and MS.
In the event we do get acknowledged, I am also unsure if we can present our suggestions cleanly to Yoshida. Eg. Even if we don't agree with something like changing Dissipation, would we forgive it if we got ForsakenRoe's 3 stance take to SCH? One risk could be the fairy stops using Embrace heals with Offensive stance on. It could also have that 6 - 10 second cooldown to switch like Cleric Stance used to have. If we have more than 4 healers worth of ideas, would they work well for a 5th one?



Healer numbers in regular content may not be dropping, but healer quality certainly fell off a cliff.
Remember all the people coming into this thread after DT launch complaining about "those healerstrikers that only do damage and don't heal"? Yeah, those aren't the healerstrikers, those are the DPS mains that Yoshi P wants desperately to attract to the healer role.
You get what you design for.
