    Sephirot is a starch reminder - Make more damaging encounters!

    It was a pleasant surprise to return to Sephirot Unreal and have so much damage to heal through! Consistent double tank busters and paired AOE's was so much fun to heal! Please return at least some fights moving forward back in that direction! Having more to heal was so much fun and if anyone has not healed Unreal Sephirot please clear the fight and lets talk about it!

    Keeping it starch because reasons

    It's just highlighting how little every non-healer knows about personal mitigation and team mitigation because there are multiples of them that aren't being used and then people are complaining about how hard the content hits.
    • Reprisal
    • Feint / Addle
    • Troubadour / Shield Samba / Tactician
    • Shake it off / Divine Veil
    • Heart of Light / Dark Missionary
    • The myriad of DPS self shields / personal mitigation

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    I mean you can still effectively heal the entire fights with ogcd except maybe the add phase we’re the tanks get donkey punched all the time.

    Takes over 1 minute for the first big aoe he does in phase 2

    I wouldn’t even call this a hard fight to heal since it can still be done entirely with oGCD’s just that it’s not quite at the level of like P1 where you legit start considering where bringing a 6th DPS is worth it over a second healer

    Even DSR doesn’t have enough healing, seriously why give an ability like neutral sect that allows aspected Helios to have 825 potency per GCD or cure 3 to hit 992 with plenary asylum and temperance then never even need GCD heals or if you do make it totally clearable with succor spam, it just invalidates the existence of the regen healers

    After trying it, it's certainly a lot of fun, but yeah - there's a large portion of people not pressing their mitigation buttons at all across every role in the parties I've been in.
    Overall though, I like this fight more than Zodiark & Hydaelyn EX.

    Half the time i dont use 90% of my toolkit due to pushover damage, love the change of pace. For example none of the dungeon tank busters do even 50% of your health and raid wides merely tickle you. And alot of trials do this aswell that desperately need to be adjusted. I see the devs redoing some trust dungeons in HW and SB....but going the opposite approach and making them easier and do less damage. evolving but backwards

    I just think the adjustments to casual content is counterintuitive to how a player can progress and develop becoming a better player.

    The leap from normal to EX is already a big one, but now that they're dumbing down/neutering content even more casual players are going to be less inclined to try harder content.

    There's a fair amount of healing, but it looks like the enrage is even more strict. We barely managed a clear with 7/8 food, 5 LB gauges, and no DPS deaths.
