#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[MisterNublet]

There's no reason for them to alter healers to suit a small number players who have maxed out the game to a point where the only way to give them a new challenge is to remake healers entirely. It's better to seek out new challenges and maybe play another game for a new challenge.

We should give tanks the healer treatment too then, right? 1 Damage, 1 DoT, 1 AoE so we don't alienate anyone for such a small number of players. Tanks can just go else where if they want better challenges or play another game.

I just did quick glance at the Europe Raiding Central discord and it seems healers are the most sought at role atm for statics.

In a perfect world, the role should be in a state where 25% of the people play it.

Or - some healer mains won't like this - in a state where people that don't main them can pick them up and play them while having fun.

It was funny that in my old static, need to fill the tank role? No problem, 3 of us will. Fill the Healer slot? Everyone was fighting each other not to be the ones stuck playing that role. Not because it was difficult, but because the role is just that damn boring. We ended up agreeing to do a role rotation so players didn't feel like they were stuck having to main healer.

I know, you can’t pay me to go on 2chan

I don't blame ya. Haha.

Oh don't be selfish. DPS also needs to have 1 button rotation treatment.

What if my 94 year old grandma on sick bed can't play? This game must be more accessible than it currently is. We don't want to gatekeep anyone, do we?

Rip Summoners. The only job I feel worse off for than Healers.

Then you don't know the full extent of the issues. You just don't know any different, sounds harsh but it's true. If you'd like to know more, go read the thread, look at the ample examples laid out by more articulate users than me.
If not then, ok... thanks for the bump!

I fail to see why that matters. I enjoy the current content and heard people tell me how healing was in patches and expansions before.
Just because I'm newer than the wise old veterans, doesn't mean I can't have my opinion on the subject.

I enjoy healing as it is. If something changes, fine by me but I'm fine if not and sabotaging with something as childish as a "healer strike" in a bloody mmo is beyond me. But again, you do you.

snip snap

lol sabotage? How is this sabotage??

It matters because there is a comparison to previous iterations of the healer role, which would still function in today's game. And no one's saying you can't have an opinion, but you're also complaining about us sharing ours.

Great to see you're still bumping the post, though, thanks for the help!

The solution is just make more situations to heal in shb dungeons and on (just increase the incoming damage and decrease war selfheal its that straightforward. Tower of zot, holminster switch,tower of babil are like perfect examples of making healers actually heal and not spam 1+dot+aoe). Adding a longer dps rotation wont fix the main issue that healers arent seen as healers, but just third weak dps. It will only attract more so called "green dps" who act like healing on a healer job is a torture. In endgame normal dungeons there is barely any need to use 80-90% of healers cds. Especially if the tank is a warrior.

yeah this strike wont do anything but people are still allowed to voice their dissatisfaction. There is nothing wrong with wishing for more engaging gameplay without being forced into extreme and ultimate because the gap between normal dungeons and hard content is way too big. Is it really that much to ask for the game to make use of more of our abilities, which this game literally provides us?

You'll have to face it that this system isn't like other MMOs where you have spacs and all.
This is a mainstream-friendly entrypoint for players who want to try MMOs without much sweat beyond midcore savage raiders.

Stop trying to make it an MMO it isn't.

C'mon, this bait was too easy.

Hate to bring this up, again, but when did you start? If after/during Shadowbringers of course you'll have this attitude. See, people aren't asking for something new to happen, but give back some old tools we had before ShB. Look into it, if you haven't.

How is FFXIV mainstream friendly when most would-be sprouts die at account registeration?
