Healers need an overhaul

[Semirhage]

Your statement that SE needs you. They don't. Not your posts, not your subscription, not you; you're not that special.

Because while every game maker likes to have players and fans, they don't necessarily want presumptuous possessive fanatics who think they know how the game should operate better than the people who have been making it for years. So beyond not needing you, they may not even want you. You may even annoy them, if they bother to notice you at all.

Oh, but you're giving productive feedback, you'll say. No, you and your ilk are just whining, and there's a difference. A difference that your arrogance makes you blind to.

The rest of your strawmen arguments only merit this reply: the fact that you feel it necessary to make things up to attribute to me merely demonstrates your inability to refute what I actually wrote.

Yes yes, 1111111111111111111 is the best gameplay loop ever devised. We're all just whiny fools for refusing to see it.

Any of the other four bog standard exhausting arguments against how dreadfully boring the healer role is, or are we sticking with door number one today?

So, it's not balance, or playability, it's just that you are bored?
Sorry, I don't want SE mucking with classes I like to play just because you and your ilk are bored.
Please just go unsubscribe until the next content release, as Yoshida-san mentioned, and leave the rest of us in peace.

That 1 button healer spam "gameplay" has got you having so much fun you're spending your time on the forums arguing instead of enjoying it lmao

I enjoy a diverse range of activities.

I'm currently waiting for my spouse and our friend to catch up with me on the MSQ so we can do the next dungeon together, standing in Hawker's alley and working on my glam as I write this - one of the joys of having 5 large 4K/QHD monitors hooked to the two GPUs in my system. My spouse and I are on our fourth characters running through the MSQ, and this time we're taking it slow and relaxed.

Edit to add: I'm also eating mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Thank you for volunteering up that information, but I did not ask.

Just correcting your mistaken assumptions.
But if you don't want to be corrected, shut up.

Edited to add: I'm in Azys Lla at the moment. On SCH.

Yeah, there's a constructive contribution to the thread -- NOT.
You had to respond, but you couldn't respond to what I wrote; I wonder if you even know what a strawman argument is.

But, compelled to post, you just post insults and blather about what you weren't going to do, and nothing on topic at all. Was it worth it to you? Are you proud of what you've done?

lmao

Is anyone else willing to ask the big big questions though? Because this lala over here is most curious about why they have five monitors attached to two gpus in one single system. What are we talking here? Editing rig? Graphics design? Certainly hope tis production oriented system or this has to be one of most strangest flexes I hath ever seen.

Can one even run FF14 over Nvlink? Know it crashes with most benchmark software. Post really carries some of that ye ol "Well my daddy's house has *insert bombastic claim here*" energy.

Since you're wondering:
Nope. In my profession, more screen real estate means higher efficiency. It's all about maximizing the bandwidth of the man-machine interface (MMI). When I'm working, one 24" monitor handles communication, another research, the two 32" 4Ks gets covered with documents, and the fifth monitor gets everything else: tracking, scheduling, directories, and so on.

There are two GPUs because my primary GPU only has four outputs, and on-CPU graphics are, well, on-CPU graphics. I used to have six monitors hooked up, but the 6th one wasn't necessary.

Put the PC together myself, as I have been doing since about 1994: I was a senior microprocessor design engineer before I moved on to something more lucrative.

That said, new GPUs are being released soon, so this summer will be upgrade time.
I'm going to leave this system alone (since it performs flawlessly) and build two new ones (for me and my spouse) specifically for gaming; each will probably have only three monitors -- planning on a 144Hz+ 32" curved 4K and a couple of 24" QHDs.

MMI efficiency extends to input, too: I game with a Logitech G13 (good thing I bought an extra and put it in storage) and a Roccat Tyon that I've had to repair a couple of times. <Sigh> They just don't make them like that anymore.
