What are your thoughts on this? Crazy to see healers reaching that amount of damage.

But remember, healer DPS doesn't contribute much damage to the raid and barely has any impact on how fast you'll clear.~~~

I don't remember anyone from the dev team saying that. /confused

As for OP's video. Umm yay, I guess?

Also confused - did anyone imply that someone from the dev team said that? Not sure where that's factoring in.

Not that I am aware of. I just pointed it out because it seems the comment is saying healers should be DPSing, and I thought we were well past those days. I could be wrong though?

To me, healer DPS contributing to raid damage, skipping phases, and speeding up clears is just a fact. So I am not sure what threads like these or that particular comment is set out to accomplish.

I'm not Cass so I can't say for sure but I think they're basically poking fun at the old argument that healer dps isn't meaningful or impactful. In this instance the dps the healers did was so considerable it shortened the fight by a ton. That would not be a 6:30 clear without the 10k+ from the healers.

There's so little damage going on in savage content (and anything easier such as ex primals) that healers will just find a way to heal using mostly oGCD heals. The crazy thing is that their rdps is even higher.

Anyway, it's pretty normal considering the way healers and fights are designed in this game. In ffxiv healers are just a support role with decent dps and several tools to keep the party alive.

Makes the healer vs tank dps debate a bit more interesting

Other than that, slightly depressing there are healers doing more damage than me

[Cerenessus]

nah... no need to be depressed...
as you can see they use their kit to the fullest extend to maximize the dps. they are just really good.
no unnessesary movements, no unused ätherflowstack, weaved as much as possible...

which sadly shows why whm is in an awrfull position right now: the fights are just way to predictible, so you can just do most of the required healing with your ogcd-heals while the gcd spells on which whm relies,
essentialy reduces its dps-output.

Honestly Stormblood healer DPS numbers are not that impressive. Yeah "OMG 10k DPS!" may sound like a like, but proportionally it's less than heavensward numbers.

Not that those aren't very skilled players and congrats to them and all. But even while removing clerics made DPS flow so much more smoothly, devs kneecapped healer DPS a bit via scaling.
