Instead of giving influencers and such time to test the jobs when obviously none of them are main healers and will just say they love everything SE does just to save face. They end up adjusting multiple jobs throughout the entire expansion which is not necessary if they got it right sooner. They can focus on other things. Job adjustments can be limited. I really hope they give this some thought. Our current healers are solid proof that SE, their own testers and even our lovely influencers have absolutely no idea what they talking about when it comes to healers. No shade just the truth.
    Even the influencers aren't really "testing" anything, they simply get an early look at it. People who got early access to the ShB jobs told SE for example that SCH not having Energy Drain isn't gonna work out. SE did nothing about it and look what happened? They had to put ED back in post-launch since yes, it did indeed not work.


    SE's in-house testing quite obviously isn't enough and since they don't do major changes mid expansion unless a vast majority complain about it or it is literally unplayable they need more testing and, most importantly, more outside feedback prior to the design being implemented...or you end up with the current terrible healer design for 2 years and no hope for any changes since it is technically "functional".

    Lets also not forget that in the 96 questions asked across all "influencers", THREE involved healing, and those were hand waved away.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Where can we read/see these 96 questions and the dev responses?
