A summary of healer issues

[Post]

I wish they'd return ground targeted actions as such, or at least give the option to either use a ground targeted or target-centered version.

I like the additional control you can get, but hey, I guess they don't really add adds to bosses anymore so who needs the control outside of trash pulls where there's one fat enemy pushing the others away.

I wish the gtoff macro variants were an option in character configuration. I would like having just one button to push and place it wherever my mouse is, but also without the clunk of macros.

What I sometime do when I'm with my friends in dungeon is to limit myself to a few skills.

For spells, I use :

• Dia
• Glare
• Cure 1
• Cure 2 when it's free (with freecure or thin air)
• Raise
• Benediction
• Regen and Medica 1 OR Medica 2

For aptitudes, I use :

• Lucid Dreaming
• Asyllum, Assize OR Tetragrammaton
• two other aptitudes (usually Swiftcast and Presence of Mind)

With those limitations, I ask my tank to not using regen skills and BOOM, I've something to heal and few time to dps.

ps : nooo, it's not a message just to keep this thread on the first page

I just want to bump this thread becuase it's sort the accumulation of all the healer discussions happening. A lot of the discussion has moved over to general, but I think there's still value in keeping this on the front page.

This thread again huh? Still relevant after all these years.

It’s been a while. So many issues that still need to be addressed. And the people who originally brought all these issues up all left the game. Goes to show how much SE screwed up Healers for the past five years.

Worst part about it is, a point that has been brought up is that they'll see that the lack of healers means it's still too stressful or hard somehow and still just keep treading in the current direction.

It's sad and depressing to think about, but that's likely what's going to happen regardless of what anybody says. This has been going on for several years now, and they haven't budged an inch.

Someone passionate, listens to feedback and actually care about the health of healers in the ffxiv team needs to be promoted.

Nah man they'll just get replaced after they start learning to heal Extreme Trials.

At the very least we'll get a few runs of a proper amd engaging healer kit.

Healing too stressful > add/buff player defensives > tune content for said defensive > healing too stressful

Simultaneously, experienced players who use these defensives quit the game in droves, giving you a situation where both ends of the spectrum don't want to play the role.

Anyway, here's medica 3. Go play ultimate or something
