6 Years without a healer?

[Darkpaw]

so will dps so will tanks we care because they never put us healers first they put blue mage,monster hunter, and ff15 event over us then use our unbalanced as a excuse .. when THEY COULD OF FIXED IT IN STORMBRINGERS IF THEY CARED ABOUT US HEALERS AT ALL

To be fair healers were not the only jobs that were screwed out of fixes in Stormblood. Machinists begged and pleaded for ages, and are now cautiously optimistic for something good to happen come May. Now that doesn't mean that there isn't real reason to be upset about there not being a new healer. There absolutely is, but this particular argument may not be the best one to put forward. 6 years without a new healer is extreme to say the least. Yes, there have been balance issues with the healers, and yes, white mages have gotten shafted pretty hardcore. If they want more time to fix it then it is what it is. I'm all for giving the Devs feed back about their design decisions, but the argument stating that it could have been fixed in Stormblood could apply to a number of things, and the MHW and FFXV crossovers most likely had no impact on the decision as money and resources are allocated for these things well in advance and not generally taken from other core design decisions. We have no indication that the crossovers or blue mage itself robbed resources away from the teams responsible for job balance in the game.

The problem lies in the fact that this is the 2nd time that healers have heard this particular song. Many like myself were content with the explanation in SB, and expansion to fix the balance issues didn't seem like such a bad thing. Yet despite healer forums generally giving a lot of feedback as to how healers were unbalanced, we've ended up in exactly the same position as we were before SB launched, hearing the exact same excuse while tanks who have similar issues to healers (though rather than PLD being at the bottom pre SB, DRK is) are getting a new tank because they feel the need to balance them out.
