Please continue bringing up AST and SCH issues.

[gnatters]

It's very clear that many of us are unhappy with AST and SCH's changes. We were brushed off in the live letter, so I believe it is pertinent that we continue pressing the issue. I sincerely hope the answer we received will not stymie the discussion.

And WHM. They only in a "good" place because AST and SCH were brought down, but they still have issues that need addressing like the rest of us. We all in it together.

True! I apologize for not including WHM. D: I had taken it for granted for a moment there.

When I take a step out of here, and have a look at tank/dps roles, I realize our voice is one of many many voices full of this forum every single day, let alone many threads are just fighting within the healer community.

And given to the player base, the dev probably wouldn't find any pressing need to prioritize healer issues first.

There’s another place to post questions: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...escom-2019-Q-A

I’m not sure based on the description and the panel whether they just want narrative and world related questions, and it would therefore be rude to flood them with healer questions, but even if it is it’d be good to upvote the healer questions that are already there as much as possible.

Plus there’s a vindictive/cynical part of me that says we asked questions at the appropriate time and were ignored, and if we wait for the appropriate time to roll back around there’s no guarantee we won’t be ignored again, so why should we care whether it’s the appropriate time?

a) When I step out of this forum, I find people complaining about sound effects and hairstyles more than about the basic play style of their class. The healer forums is by far the most awash with complaints about basic gameplay. There are some exceptions, with SMN threads being quite common and gameplay focused, and I’ve seen a few NIN threads complaining about potency, but:

b) There’s a difference between saying we’re not the priority and saying we’re not on the agenda. The live letter talked about 6 jobs and the only healer job was also the only job where they didn’t say that they’d be continuing to listen to player feedback and tune things going ahead. I’d be okay with them saying they’d get to us after they fixed x classes. I’m not okay with them not giving any indication that they’re going to get to our concerns at all.

I like the new astro cards.
Yeah it lost different effects but no matter how you cut it.
Cards not balance were useless or situational.
Ewer and bole were situational.
Spire was useless.
Arrow nobody likes but blm and samurai.
Spear was whatever, guess bards like it a lot and mnks.
Balance everyone loves and pretty much the only card everybody really cares about and most useful.

i personally dont think there is anything wrong with SCH now that energy drain is back
sure quicken aetherflow would be nice
and i know people want aetherflow to not be combat only but it was pretty annoying waiting 2 minutes for SCH openers if they didnt get it ready
id settle for charged aetherflow but that would probably be more a new expansion thing than somthing they add mid expansion.

Recently they made it so if you use meditation out of combat on monk, you gain all 5 stacks with 1 button press. There is no reason something similar can't be done with aetherflow. They could make it so that if you use aetherflow out of combat the recast is significantly lowered. Or they could just make you spawn in with 3 stacks on aetherflow. They're just choosing not to fix it whether it be because they don't care or they're just lazy.

I think they just don't like the idea overall that there was waiting before starting an encounter not because not everybody was ready but because people were waiting on Cooldowns. Yoshi specifically probably disliked overall that the players were "Cheating" the encounter. So they were consistent and removed essentially all benefits for waiting for CD's while allowing AST to still draw cards.
