A summary of healer issues

[Renathras]

I would like it if they added tanks and healers back to the game lol

But seriously, take away all the healing ogcd’s and replace them with dps ogcd’s, then balance the game around healers casting for every heal

That's actually an interesting idea. So where all attacks are (in terms of rotation) like Energy Drain/Assize? oGCDs?

...

Don't mind Semi, she's quite possibly the worst offender about attacking people in there and even when caught lying about accusations, with direct quotes, refuses to recant.

"Renathras decided to cross-post this into General Discussion...to see if the Healer subforum is at all an accurate representation of the general forum population, much less the game's overall population."

There, fixed that for ya, Semi.

Funny you say I'm "bellyaching" about the Healer Subforum when other people here are saying the same thing, and have echoed what I told you before about you guys driving off anyone who dissents. Your post here is further evidence of that, btw. "hunting and cherrypicking" to show you actual data? You're being Exhibit 1 proving the claims you're saying aren't true are true.

.

Anyway, this post wasn't about the Healer subforum being toxic. I was just piggybacking off of someone else saying that. Someone I honestly wouldn't be surprised if you were the person who ran them out of it. This post was to see if the OP post that you claim should command the discussion on the topic actually holds water with people not part of your echo chamber.

So far, it has not.

So healers in Tera are what Bards used to be in XIV.
A real party support.

Pity that was too hard for people and it got dumbed down to its current state.

Was that why?

I always thought it had more to do with being hard to balance. Though they removed BRD buffs the same time they added DNC buffs. WHICH NEVER MADE SENSE TO ME. ShB DNC announcement was basically "We don't think a Job that buffs other party members works well with the game. So we're removing BRD's party buffs. Also, we're adding this new Job, DNC. And its main thing is that it buffs the party." Like...in what world does that make sense? o.O

Despite being called "General Discussion," this place still isn't anywhere remotely near a "general audience" of FFXIV players. If you want that, you'd probably be best served just talking to people in-game. This place is just a couple dozen utterly bitter naysayers creating a negative echo chamber because they can't let go and also can't stand that hundreds of thousands of other people are having fun playing the game.

Fair enough. But seriously, go to the Healer subforum. Read some of the threads. The one about removing Rescue (because OP and several other posters in there AREN'T Healer Subforum regulars) is a good showing of how people with divergent positions are "greeted" by the echochamber.

I dont agree to "auto-unite" Cure 1 into Cure 2, since Cure 1 has 0.5 seconds lower cast, and this way it has lower cast time -> lower application time and u can cast it almost on move, it means alot when u play low level content (level 1-60) or playing as conjurer (who does not have instacasts besides swiftcast)

Agree with this.

I also have noted that merging Solace/Rapture with Cure 2/Medica makes no sense considering sometimes you want to save the Lily for an upcoming movement and don't want to be forced to burn it early. While chain casting Dia while moving IS technically a DPS gain (depending on if you're overwriting a buffed snapshot Dia or not, I guess...), it's not much of one and isn't Ruin 2. It's still a movement tool for WHM, but a lesser option than using a Lily.

I wouldn't mind if a Trait upgraded Cure 1 to Cure 2 IF AND ONLY IF Cure 2 maintained Cure 1's cast time (1.5 sec) and MP cost (400). Though I wouldn't mind THAT since WHM should be the one that has the big and MP efficient heals, not AST.
