Request for immediate REVERSAL of HLR lv1-70 changes NOW (not in 2 years)

[KuramaArctica]

Said no actual AST ever. Good ASTs knew which card worked for which situation and could use all cards to their best ability. Noob and Bad ASTs fished for the balance. In fact, the change lorewise makes us evil ASTs as in the lore it states that evil and bad ASTs sought to use only the balance. Funny how that works.

Most healers are mad about these changes, especially SCH and SCHs. If you heal, which there is a big chance you don’t, you are in the very small minority.

Square needs to not focus on homogenizing healers, ignoring healers wants and making healers worse while doing their best to focus on tanks, even though they were at least if not more unbalanced than heals were.

So next time, don’t look the fool because your thoughts are the thoughts of a small percentage.

This is in response to one who deleted their post thinking AST is now better

I dunno, I Q'd up for several dungeons (Lv68, Lv60 and Lv60 Trial) as WHM today and I thought overall, the experience was a net positive better than what it was before today (though not by a whole lot).

*shrug*

But apparently because I'm not on the "bash SE" bandwagon, nobody cares about what I have to say.

Dear YoshiP & SE in general,


in Heavensward, you destroyed the BRD job. You did not admit to any mistake, and you fixed your grave error 2 years later.


In Stormblood, you did the same with the MCH job and failed to fix is multiple times. It took you another 2 years to fix it properly.


You got through with this because it was only one job suffered. This time, you have angered most healers, independent of their jobs (though SCHs and ASTs suffer the most).



You listened to a vocal, but small group of players and made no serious effort to even count forum postings in favour or against such a change.


There is only one sensible fix:



- UNDO all changes to healer jobs & classes for lv 1-70, maybe with the exception of Protect, which nobody will miss.
- Respect the playstyle of most FFXIV healers who want a _rich_ and _engaging_ job that combines healing and DPSing
- Admit your mistakes and apologise to the players now, not in 2 years.


Even though FFXIV may be one (the?) financially most successful MMO on the market, ignorance of customers' wishes can cause FFXIV to have its very own "BFA" expansion effect.

Ok, so not happening. At best we can like wait until 5.1+, which may see a few actions return or see the current abilities adjusted. But, it's really unreasonable to just ask them to revert everything atm. Just changing the AST card effects back would require the devs to have to totally rework the entire job et al

Man they truly destroyed scholar, and killed the hype I had for this game.

I personally am glad to see that healers have to play their role now and not be like the healers of Failed MMO's like world of warcraft. though i agree some of the Changes are.. WTFish, the majority ive seen have been for the betterment in the long run. people have to play their roles now And that makes me VERY happy

As someone who has played SCH since 2.0 launch, I like it, I just want to heal. :P

Nothing stopped you back then from just healing and nothing will stop you in the future. But don't try to force your playstyle onto others. I've seen many people upset with the changes, as am I. This feels like the worst version of SCH that I've played. The first thing I had to do when logging in today was throw away half my hotbar because skills were removed. That's not fun, it's the exact opposite. I basically play a lesser version of the same job, but now I have a few potency increases on some spells and new animations.

I'd be okay with only healing if outgoing damage was increased
but spamming 1 + 2 every 30 seconds is not engaging at all, because there's not enough damage going out to have to do any real healing

If they really wanted to go the wow route they should've gone all in, not halfway. this makes nobody happy

I just want Time Dilation and SB Celestial Opposition back... I can deal with everything else
