Healers need an overhaul

[Nizzi]

30+ year old boomer MMO attrition healer ""gameplay"" is hot garbage and spamming Medica Medica Medica is as unengaging and boring as spamming Glare Glare Glare is. Doing the former is not what "traditional" or "real healers" do, and no amount of increasing healing is ever going to make spamming Glare fun or a "reward for doing a good healing job" as Yoshida thinks it is. Embrace what the game is and make healers engaging to play in all content, no matter the skill level. It isn't hard at understand.

The funniest part is that figuring out the puzzle of where to use what healing resources to get the best bang for your buck is what's fun about healers in Savage, but once you've figured that out, you're left with nothing to do in reclears and beyond. MAKE. THE. DOWNTIME. KITS. FUN.

No more or less so than now.

That's the point. I never said FF14 had "amazing" healing mechanic from the beginning. I simply said at least there were "some" consideration. Was they good? No. However 10 years ago from Midas when there were two paths to diverse, the dev choose the DPS path. Instead of improve the healing experience, instead of making resource managing more deliberate meaningful, they decided instead of simply strip those things a way. There have been a questions in the community for a while now: why do we still have MP when it's so much of an after thought? Because the complain about 6.0 WHM is why. The community's mentality has been spoiled to the point that any attempt to walk back will make fierce resistance.

You can say healers use to have 3-4 things going for them. Was those thign good or well thought out? No!. But instead of improving those thing to give Healer a unique identity, they simply strip away all that doesn't work so well to simplify healing to the barebone that we have these day. Like, strip away the healing give and replace them with a DPS rotation ... what healers gonna become? SMN light?

Well, first off I don't think 30 years old is the threshold for Boomer. Also I wish I were a boomer, 'cause that would mean I got to retired now and sit back sipping tea when you youngsters agonize about your daily life. Honestly I don't know what my generation are. Not old enough to be boomer, but still older than millennia. And you know what, I don't even care to find out. Boomer, Millenia, gen X, gen Z .etc. I have never see a single of those label used in possitive manner, often time they always used as a way to mock the people in question like you're using. Congratulation, you fall for the trap set by politician activist to create this "us vs them" mentality with all of these divisive label, I personally don't care much for them.

And even if someone is a boomer ... so what? They would be entitled to their prefer play style as much as you do. With the amount of vitriol threw around in the last couple page because someone just prefer a different play style ... The same people who always demand their preference is respect, that feel the developer offend them just because the wrong body language ... Sometime I do wonder, do people still have a mirror in their house any more?

I'm sorry I can't hear you over how fun and engaging the Sylphietron 6000 is. Spamming Medica and Cure are truly the pinnacle of healer gameplay. Real Healers love it so much.

I'm not sure if oyu can't hear, but I know for sure you can't read. If you gonna reply and mock someone on top of that, at least try to read what they wrote. Because right now you're just making stuff to mock. I'm not sure who is your target because it ain't me, 'cause I didn't say the thing you're mocking about.
