Healers need an overhaul

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

They don't find spamming Glare fun they find getting yelled at for messing even less fun.

Between spamming glare and lower chance of messing up and getting yelled at and having a more engaging rotation but higher risk of failure and getting called out by an angry player they go for the boring but safer option.

On the flip side, it is more likely people are going to get annoyed because how braindead easy it has become when failure happens. The easier certain task to do, the more people would expect you to get it done properly because, why not? It's.... easy right?.

I said 'annoyed' because 'yelling' would get you reported

Easy for who? People with years of experiences?

If someone can barely do 5 push-up and they are asked to do 20 they will have a bad time. It doesn't matter if it was 50 before and now it's easier it's still way too much.

Stop expecting people who might have started the game way more recently than you to be as good. Especially when you can't handle them making mistake because 'it was harder back in the day'.

If you guys want a rewarding Job you can apply for a real one.

Does glare spam make healing easier or does it not? At first you were arguing that it did by lowering the chance of making mistakes, but now you’re saying it’s STILL too hard for new players?

I’ll be quite honest, if you can’t handle the effort to learn an important role as you level, and can’t handle people losing patience with your visible lack of effort, then maybe you shouldn’t play it. Heal anxiety is a bad excuse because very rarely do you get flamed in this game for making a mistake. As long as you’re trying people will be courteous.

Yes, it’s easy. Your heals are so strong that it really only takes a couple buttons to heal a given amount of damage. The game never spikes in difficulty the way you claim it does, nor does it ever have rigorous heal checks that expect you to use a lot of gcd heals in a row past level 45. The only way you’d experience a sudden spike in difficulty is if you bought a skip, and at that point it’s really not my problem if you’re level 80 and getting overwhelmed by glare glare glare and the occasional heal. I really wish the game would stop babying the playerbase.

Edit: there is a bit of a jump in difficulty going to ex trials, but those don’t require anything even close to optimal gameplay. And if they do, that’s still a level where you should be putting in some form of effort.

FFXIV was my 1st MMO and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to do my job.
I made a few mistakes obviously but I was able to learning very quickly where my faults were and improved so by the end of ARR, I had cleared Coils.

Not every new player is an idiot and those that are idiots should NOT be playing healers in the 1st place.

This should be pinned to the op and printed out and taped on YoshiP’s office door.

The game should not be balanced around the least skilled.
