Raise and the balance issue

[Connor]

What is the community’s hyperfixation on putting a hefty cool-down on Raise? Like literally nobody ever just mentions the spell, it’s always ‘put a 2min cool-down on it!!!!’

Why are we advocating for changes that do literal nothing other than punish casuals and bad players by making them having to wait 2 minutes on the floor instead of 7 seconds. And if the healers both die? Gets its just a straight up wipe regardless of the competency of those who remain lol. ‘Sorry guys I had to wipe the raid because my raise was still 1.50M off cool-down but don’t worry that extra 100 dps I did will totally make all the difference’(I’m being facetious)

Is it seriously a case of ‘I shouldn’t have to dedicate 7 seconds of my time to helping others! Make it instant so it doesn’t infringe upon my DPS in any way!!!!!’ *proceeds to spam Afflatus for Misery outside of raid buff window’….and people still wonder why they don’t trust healers with even the tiniest spec of responsibility…and now we want one of the few days DPS can help healers to be so wholly neutered that it may as well not exist? What’s the point? So Summoners and Red Mages can copium the fuck out of their lack of Raise by thinking it’ll somehow make their dps super skyrocket to the top? (Tip: it will not)

Hell I’ll go one further: removing or severely neutering Raise is just further job homogenisation amongst dps . Why is it somehow a bad thing if there are dps with lower dps output that can support the party? Are we seriously going to start getting devs to make all 22 jobs pure selfish dps next? What about melee? Should we give them all full ranged combos with the same potency as melee?
