#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[ForsakenRoe]

Also got love how much mit we have now. So much thsr something like howling eight has been severely neutered to where only the 1 and 5th pose any threat to the party and the fifth one would likely be kitchen sinked by all the party mits as well.

Thanks to the additional gear thus far (week 5, so it's not even BIS yet), I was able to handle the P1 Tracking Tremors without pressing a single GCD heal.

I expect that similar is possible with the final enrage too, but I didn't bother to try because the only thing on my mind at the time was 'play safe, get the clear, get me out of this fight'

Bumping out of pure spite.

Also, y'all white knights think you're so cute with the tags, it's actually hilarious.

I'm actually going to retract an earlier statement of sch maybe getting a potential buff or two. I say that cause throughout almoat all of ffxiv, sch was always the top dog. It was better than noct astro when it appeared and then also better than sge that sge had to get buffs through all of ew and even into DT's first patches. Now m6s is here and until you reach 90th to 100, Sge is better than sch there.

Honestly that’s only because SCH’s AOE is really badly designed for what the adds phase asks of you as the shield healer

Otherwise it’s still the same song and dance, SGE’s DPS is better in uncoordinated, SCH’s in coordinated, SCH’s healing kit still puts the other three healers to absolute shame with its raw level of utility

The only way to get a company to listen to it's clients is to stop giving said company money.

And that only works for small companies. Big companies - like Square-Enix - can just turn off all servers if players decides to play something else. And it wouldn't affect its core business as much as it would in small companies.

So S-E have the luxury of ignoring its costumers and get away with it.

All complaints is just hope and cope.

Healers are complaining since years nothing changed while SQE worked on other jobs changes.
This proves, for the dev team, it's fine as it is and can wait 2 more years until 8.0.
While this could go even worse, no promises have been made about making this role interesting.

To be honest the game might actually be better without healers at all, relying only on mecanics.
And i am saying that while Sage if the only job i enjoy in FF XIV.

Agreed.

And if dev team thinks healers is fine as it is, don't expect any big change to healers coming at 8.0. It will be incremental at best or change nothing at worst.

Change will come the day limited races can wear hats without using a program that is not allowed.

After the promise of new summoner pets and hats for Viera, I just gave up.

No, it doesn't.

FF14 is the sole reason SE is still around. Every single game they've put up in a really long time, including mobile games, has been either a net loss or hardly breaking the even point for them.

They are starting to pick up a bit because they broke the glass and took out FF7 again. FF7 Ever Crisis is No. 41 in gacha revenue for March 2025.

They do not, FFXIV is actually a fair share of SQE revenue.
They are actually not in such a great shape because a lot of their project are not selling so great or at least not as much as they wanted.
And concidering the poor care they have for their customers outside of japan, this ain't really surprising and deserved.

The removal of the multiple DOTs, piling all the damage into a single DOT, and the consequent removal of Bane (due to it being not-as-useful, since there's only one DOT) was evidently a mistake. Imagine how much better SCH would keep up, if it had Bane and could spread its DOTs across the big add packs (eg the boss, the 4 Mus and the first Feather Ray, all during the raidbuff window that occurs there). Imagine how much better WHM would keep up, if it still had Aero 3
