Phoenix Down in 4-Player Content is a Great Idea

[Supersnow845]

You know this is just for any 4-man content right? Normal raids, ally raids, trials, extremes, and ultimates won't have Phoenix downs working there.

It’s just your dots

It’s just your complexity

It’s just tanks helping you

It’s just super competant players who don’t need you

It’s just 4 man content

What’s next “it’s just an option to select ‘no healer in DF’”

The phrase “death by a thousand cuts” has apparently been forgotten

Ehhh... not agreeing that a particular change is for the worse =/= forgetting that "death by a thousand cuts" exists.

For the same reason I liked not needing a Ranger to be allowed to play the game past the nth minute of continuous combat before, I like that someone could now rez the healer... in theory.

I'm just not sure I like the particular manner of implementation.

For instance, I'd prefer that the long cooldown on Phoenix Down be party-wide via some debuff reset only on a wipe. 1 abnormal/extra battle-rez is enough and generally then reserves it for the tank or healer rather than allowing one to forgo a typical rezzer entirely.

As for SMN/RDM raises, I'd have just preferred that healer raises bring the target back with more HP and MP (e.g., at 40%) than non-healers' (e.g., at 10%), and perhaps that Dualcast reduce one's cast-times by that of Verthunder/Veraero rather than completely nullifying the cast-time. And buff SMN/RDM damage towards Pictomancer's in compensation.
