#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Flay_wind]

Question, do you think return to something like O8S combat design wise i.e. frequent teamwide damage and actual multiple heal checks (i.e. Heartless (Arc)Angel), while mechanics themselves are not that complicated would be good?
Or will it still be kinda trivialized by the modern healing kits?

[GartredZW]

People will suggest anything besides fixing healers

It’s like a competition to think of the most contrived way to “fix” the problem that doesn’t involve actually fixing healers or dealing with the fallout of the game still being built on needing healers in the system even if they are redundant

I remember when the strike first got started, and I saw at least three people immediately jump to "Square should ban these people"
Some people just don't have any empathy, and it shows.

Don't know much about healing really, but they should start with getting rid of RDM's dualcast infinite instant rez.
I'd been playing for ages before finding out "what?!"
I assumed it wouldn't work on Res because surely that would be crazy?!
Your most powerful healer is not a healer? Nahhh... coudln't be.
i was kind of shocked now I think about it.
I'm surprised I haven't heard more talk about that.
That seems like an almost bigger slap in the face than healing not being needed.

We'd have WAY more wipes on casual content, instantly, which I would massively welcome. Because that content has room to wipe a lot more from the Zero that it does at at the moment.

There is nothing wrong with RDM's raise, or SMN's for that matter, I don't understand why people hate them so much. If anything I wish more people used them, it makes salvaging a really bad run without spending the LB3 that much easier and they don't invalidate my role like WAR does.

That's cool and good to know. Like I say I don't know healing. I can think of lots of boring OP Alliances (includes EW now) that really should have wiped but for the RDM's. REALLY should have wiped. But if there are bigger fish to fry than RDM then do start elsewhere.

Let's face it WAR is the issue here. Just delete it!

My guess for the dislike of SMN/RDM raise is strictly because the last thing a healer is really needed for is LB3 and being able to recover a situation. RDM and SMN feel like they're stepping on the healer role simply because the way things are these raises don't feel like they're supplementary, like they are helping. They feel like they are taking something away.

90% of the time a RDM VerRaises with dualcast I genuinely do did not need their help. I have SwiftCast up and I am beyond bored yet despite I have nothing to do... you "do my job for me" when you had no reason to.

See what I mean now? I don't have a problem with the raises much like I don't have a problem with tanks being able to heal themselves. It works out in other games. It just doesn't work out here. Not any more.

myself, I dont mind RDM raises, as for SMN, in my experience most SMN dont even have raise on their bar.

I dont have a problem mostly with tanks and dps having a self heal.... its when we start talking about an AOE heal on a tank or dps... or heals that they can splash off on another that are better than a healer can do, or even self heals that mean they become essentially invincible... thats where a problem starts. its not being OP.. its just being poorly designed. no job should be functionally invincible in a multiplayer game.

Verraise drains RDM's mp very quickly so it's not quite as infinite, but their being able to rapid fire it sure can save a wipe in the right hands, and I honestly really appreciate it in prog parties since it lets healers focus on topping up the rest of the party and we can actually try the next mech.

Slight tangent but I kinda think WHM could use a similar advantage over the other healers by making Thin Air also grant instant casts.

AST pretty much has that with Lightspeed. It reduces the cast time enough to where 1.5 GCDs are instant and Raise is reduced. I usually... well I USED to hit it when I needed to mass chain res.

There's also another thing they 'took away from me' by dualcasting raise: the 8 seconds cast time. It feels GREAT to be rewarded of my knowledge over the mechanic/fight because then I know when I can stand still to raise. Instant raises have no such nuance.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if one day they gave us 2nd charge of swiftcast because apparently having to hardcast raise is somehow a bane to their existence.
