#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

You don't enjoy 5-10 potency on dot increase?

Jokes aside, this game will never make healers fun to play nor make classes better. If dawntrail is doomed like this where devs say that cost is their bigger issue, then we are lost cause. Even 8.0 won't fix anything. Their supposed "talents" change won't come until 9.-0 or so as it will be yet another one of their "promise, just wait please".

There's been an interview where yoship talks a little bit about job design so I guess it's time to bring this thread back.

Here's the link if anyone wants: https://www.techradar.com/gaming/fin...-gamescom-2025

Relevant part is this:

“We do have quite a big plan for jobs moving forward,” said Yoshida, “but it is quite difficult for me to convey the nuances at this time. When it comes to the current content that we have in terms of battles and design, we don’t want to destroy that experience as it is right now.

“So, keeping that in mind, we don’t want to incorporate major changes to that, but what we do want to do is make jobs more interesting for players to use.”

Call me jaded or whatever but that doesnt exactly make me hopeful. No details, current battle design will stay (the body checks will continue until morale improves). Big plans but also doesnt want major changes. Get ready for the big change of +5 dot potency and another glare reskin.

Jaded? Yes. Wrong? Nah.

I'll care about what Yoshi P has to say about jobs, when he actually has something to say about jobs.

Because rezz was the last vestige of healer “need” in casual content left

Resurrection has always existed so rez has quite literally never been a healer "need" in casual content.

You also seem to have forgotten that 8-man and 24-man casual content exists.

I think Yoshi-P won't do any radical change. And that is what we need rn: radical changes on how fights works, on how healers works.

So, he'll likely double down on healer division ("pure" healer vs shield healer), on job balance (WHM being the weakest job, AST outclassing WHM at everything, SCH being the default shield healer, etc), on how useful healers is on non-savage content.

Frankly, this response is a bath of cold water on whatever I was expecting about 8.0. That gave me courage to let go my house and just let my sub run out.
