#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Only Reddit post regarding this I could find:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/s/P6eTo3bNnH

It's kinda sad that to see how these player on FFXIV sub were heavily doctrined by CBU3 that "this is how healer should play"...

And thanks to titanmen and his troll alt, the FFXIV sub pretty much see the forum as woke-activist twitter...

Things not looking well, I afraid...

If the player base in general is taking a lot of avoidable damage, then the encounter designers have to limit how much unavoidable damage parties take to reduce the chance of a wipe.

Why ? Avoidable damage should lead to death when you don't avoid it.

People are saying they want more difficult content but in turn making the content outright more difficult would cause an even bigger uproar see WoW Cataclysm, I loved the difficulty of that at the time many did not.

I think you're missing the point here.

It's not so much about making everything more difficult. That's just not how things work, this isn't Wildstar or FFXI, we will always see a focus on comfy accessible content. That's just a fact.

The core issue with healers is simple: Playing a healer in said comfyl content is mind numbing. What is there to aim for? What ceiling is there to aim for? What interesting gameplay loops and mechanics do we have to play with when there's no healing pressure?

I'll tell you. The ceiling boils down to how many Glares you can squeeze in at the expense of everything else. Fun included.

They already got you if you bought DT and you deserve everything you get.

I think you are better off saying these to Gacha gamer, p2w mmo player, FIFAs player, AC player, and CODs player.

So people can't critique parts of the game while enjoying other parts?

We can only either completely love a game or completely hate it? Is that it?

Don't put words in my mouth.

They're not dumb, they know how to corroborate information. They know which accounts play which role and if you keep buying expansions and paying subs, all they'll understand is that it isn't that big of an issue.

I'm all for this kind of thing. I'm not a healer, but I can respect how the better/stronger your team is, the more boring healing is. The fact that everything going wrong is really the only enjoyment some healers get out of the game is a bit backwards imo. I only played a bit of healer, and even then, I quickly realized that most of the time I was casting my single damage spell over and over again, which would get very old over hundreds/thousands of hours.

I do wonder if it would be a good idea to have a few suggestions to WHAT you want changed added to the main post. More raid/party wide damage that HAS to be healed? Nerfs to tanks? Healers with more than one damage regular damage spell? etc.

That said, just saying "SE, we're not happy with healing now" can be enough sometimes, especially if queue times for regular content become much higher.

Good luck with your strike!

Thank you, I will use this!

Oh, really?

If they know which accounts main which role then that makes our strike even better. They'll see all the healer main accounts just completely drop healer. That's wonderful news.

Do you blame the Reddit for viewing this place like it is… it’s full of trolls and incessant moaning about every facet of the game. I get critique but it’s a laughing stock this place and no moderation at all. Not saying the positivity of everything on Reddit is any better but it’s dann more tolerable then this place is lol.

It directly leads to freecure mages and other bad habits.

Oh yeah, freecure is still confirmed to be in the game in DW

SE really has no dedicated healer job designer, huh.
