So... I am a new player who is fairly experienced in overall PVP gaming and so forth. I have tried a few feast matches and have noticed that healers (namely WHM) are basically permanently unkillable/invincible. I never imagined that healers would have unlimited MP/be able to heal forever and never run out of resources.
It's not an exaggeration, you can't even get healers down to 35-50% HP if you are full throttle DPSing and layer CC on them.
I've given it a good go for the month but with healer invincibility, the not being able to communicate in Feast/PVP overall and feeling babysat by Square Enix the whole time I wouldn't be renewing. Nobody serious about PVP would. I'm just quite surprised about it, given that Square Enix has so many reasons to jump on this bandwagon with the incredibly large influx of new subscribers. It does not feel rewarding when you nail your rotation and the healer heals to full 150 million times WHILE also healing their entire team forever without an MP penalty. Pretty much any other decent game makes healers use a resource to heal, instead of just giving them permanent invincibility.
I'm not asking for any sort of advice on "how to kill healers", etc. There is no way to communicate in Ranked Feast in a complex way, at least not from a solo que perspective. This is a statement from someone who participated in FF14 for a month and who won't be renewing based on this.
