Let's all brace ourselves for no healer mention in any capacity for the upcoming LL

[SpiralMask]

Steel ourselves now so it doesn't hurt as much when it happens.

If I end up wrong then wonderful! but given the entire expansion's track record of nary a slide in a LL (or a single line on a slide after DPS get a full card detailing their changes and intent) if anything is said at all--I'm not exactly expecting them to break tradition at this point.

proven wrong! AST got gutted again, great work.

edit: to be clear, the new class looks good... in the controlled bit they used to sell it for the LL. if they dont address the systematic issues of the role (and issues that they're all shackled to, such as lack of downtime activity) none of it's flashy stuff will matter one bit, because it will still be completely soulcrushing to level and play.

rather than starting a new thread for the upcoming july 9th(?) LL QA section, i think i'll bump this one: here's for another QA with zero acknowledgement of healer issues, or their existence at all.
or like last time, a new healer nerf announcement!

get hype!

You do know that this is a recap of info we already have and then QA for the raid right? You shouldn't expect really anything job related in this other than them repeating sage and reaper slides.

from the on-site description of the section being "Producer & Director Naoki Yoshida will be answering questions posed live by players. We may be able to hear his replies to a wide variety of inquiries, including burning questions, popular topics, heartwarming experiences, and more!"

"please yoshi healers have been suffering for two years to near-complete radio silence" would meet both 'burning questions' and 'popular topics', no?

True, though I'd caution against getting your hopes up.
Traditionally Q&A segments (whether in interviews or live letters) don't have many (if any) questions on healing, and any answers we do get tend to be quite brief : (

...I do believe that is the point of his thread, as evidenced by his initial post, and the title. Not to mention, of course, his follow-up posts and replies, thus far.

Each update I ask myself, "How are these devs going to screw me now?" I think it's a running joke around the FF14 offices about how to trash healing jobs just enough to soak the fun out of the jobs as much as possible without forcing too many players to flee from the profession forcing a rollback.

It's all about maximum nerfage and tears--all the time.
Healing is so boring anymore.
<Broil, dot, heal, broil, broil, broil, heal, broil, broil, heal, broil...> Repeat forever.

On June 16th an email came to the people. Where people asked what else we wanted to announce again. I have chamfered the result of the mail (unfortunately in German). And nobody wants to allegedly want to see the sage. :thinking:





And that even the New Wild Tribe should have more approval than the wise one worries me ...

I can't help but giggle at "schnitter".
