#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Sekundessounet]

"If you mean 'you go to 1 HP and have to reach full HP to 'succeed' the mechanic', Seat of Sacrifice has one? But you have like 25 total seconds to get to full HP, and it happens exactly once (at the start of the fight when you have every CD available) so it doesn't really count, does it"

You had that in P1N and S too, and I'm pretty sure others had that since but I'd need to check a list.

Also for the Almagest type raid damage, you had Silkie's Total Wash which was basically Almagest with a cute skin.

Are we striking again? We probably should...

Yes please.. Leave the healer role to those who can at least press their "1" button. Kind of sick and tired of carrying inapt healers training in the Crystal Tower ngl.

With the other healer topic being moved to the dead board, maybe time to bring this one back to the forefront. Anyone have any copium left for healers being fun in EC? :v)

Do you think the last "strike" did turn things around? If so, start another one. Good luck!

What’s going to happen probably have first two months of ‘perceived harder difficulty’ because there are good amount of folks trying to get used to the Reborn/Evolve systems. People going oohh aahhh at the new shiny toys briefly only to realize quickly it’s as fun as Variant Cure Mage in variant dungeons. Past that point we’re back to square one.

So… nope. No hope. No cope. Ankle deep expectation. And they will still disappoint.

They’re feeding us the same false hopes for 6-7 years now. Truth is they will continue sanding down the role to suit the white knights who defend their decisions against any criticisms — to appeal people who actually don’t care & want the WAR & PLD to do all the healings if that’s possible (meaning, most players from two out of three major roles in the game). Besides few relapses that I could name on just one hand, I’ve been RPing, chilling, and gposing since 6.58. and it was the best decision I’ve ever made in the past 2 expacs.

I do hope the evergrowing design creeps more and more to other roles, which seems to be the trend we’re seeing. We all want that manual auto attack, right?

Honestly the strike is irrelevant beyond it got eyes on the problem, it was never about ACTUALLY striking. But it sure is an effective buzz word.

Do I think it got people talking? Yes. Including some of the ""big names"" in XIV streaming. Do I think it made a difference? Not really. I'm at least positive the feedback got to the devs, but we've been providing feedback since at least Stormblood of not enjoying the way healers were going, and instead of doing anything with that feedback the devs just decided to make healing more "accessible" and easier, as if that was the problem or reason people weren't playing the role. I don't know that I'd say that I have HOPE, especially considering they basically said 'Yeah we're making WHM easier', and as far as we know tanks are still going to be able to heal whole parties (we've LITERALLY seen even ULTIMATE content done without healers, so), plus the point of Evolved is cutting ability numbers in half, but I... guess at least it'll be bad in a different way, maybe? That's my biggest hope, because I don't think we're liable to see anything else. It's bleak tbh.

The devs are fundamentally incapable of creating fun healer gameplay. They saw people were bored of spamming Glare so they changed the animation. At this point I am convinced that's all they did because that's all they are capable of.

Its gets so old seeing people that don't play the game make comments like this.

I think it's more that they fundamentally don't believe in distinct roles that work together but still want the aesthetic of the "holy trinity." The devs don't want it so that if the healer doesn't heal, the group fails. In this game, taking damage just isn't much of a big deal because it's either so predictable you can just avoid it, or, you have enough skills on whatever job you're on to mitigate or heal it yourself. There is not a lot of work for healers to do but also their dps rotation isn't any fun. But they cant ever actually fix that because that is basically admitting the premise of this game having a trinity system is a lie based on the arbitrary way they force you to form parties and not based on the job design and if they made healer dps more important they'd have to redesign content even more to make up for it.

They're either unwilling or unable, one or other, saying they're unable is charitable.
